[The feed opens with Angelina not showing herself on the screen. Instead, you are looking at the proud results of her work. The Tree is decorated in Victorian era style, with lit candles providing illumination; adorned with tiny toys, glass spheres and candy confections and chocolates. She just hopes her young nephew won't feel tempted to eat them.]

Well well, what do you all think of my masterpiece? Is it not beautiful? It could not have been done more properly in the Victorian style, in my opinion. [She laughs merrily at her own wit. Plus, she's not mentioning she had a hell of a butler to help her with everything.] I hope my nephew will like it, I did put a lot of effort into it. Now I just need to find him the perfect gifts for Christmas day. [She laughs some more.]

[ FILTERED TO SEBASTIAN ]
Will you be around for Christmas? We do need to start planning dinner.

[ He hasn't stopped putting himself out there, but he has come to expect it to result in getting in an argument. So a soft, surprised smile makes its way to his face. ]

I wouldn't presume to be able to help with faith, but if there is anything else I could help with I'd be pleased to be of assistance.

[And she smiles back gently at him.]

I must admit my nephew would not take to it too kindly, without meaning any offense to you, sir. But I do thank you for you kind offer, if I would be glad to count on your assistance someday. By the way, my name is Angelina Durless.

Ky Kiske. It's a pleasure to meet you.

Nice to meet you, Mr. Kiske. Have you been here a long time? I do not recall having met you before.

I've been here nearly a year, now.

Mostly I keep busy with Defense Force matters.

That is a long time, sir. Or well, it sounds so to me... I have only been here for a few months...

[Oh yes, the defense force.] I am glad for the Defence Force, you do much for the peace in this world.

I hope so.

And yes, it's seemed like a fairly long time to me as well. I have duties on my own world that I'd prefer to be doing.

Oh, I understand, that is always an inconvenience... [Sighs.]

What kind of duties do you have? If you may speak of them, of course.

Of course. I'm a Captain in the police force. It's straightforward enough, but some of what I do...

[He works so hard because he doesn't believe that anyone else would pick up his slack if he left it.]

I wouldn't want to think of it being left undone.

[She nods at him. Police force is always important everywhere. Though if Ky knew what she did back home, he probably wouldn't be speaking to her so nicely now.]

I see... It is interesting how many of us found similar occupations here to those on our own worlds.

It's what I know how to do. How I know to help.

Have you found something similar?

[She nods twice, first at his statement and then at his question.]

I found work at the clinic. I am a doctor, both here and at home.

That's certainly a noble profession.

[Smiles gently at him. But if he truly knew what she did back home...]

Thank you, yours is as well.

[He returns the smile. He tends towards trusting, usually. And there's no reason to suspect her of anything.]

Ahh...

[A little embarrassed.]

I just try to make a difference.

[Certainly not at Vatheon. She's behaved well here.]

I am sure that you will if you do your best.

I'll keep working on it, of course.

So will I.

I wish you luck with that.

And Merry Christmas to you.

Thank you, I wish the same to you.

Happy Christmas!
