WHO: Everyone on campus!
WHAT: Holiday goingons
WHERE: The Institute
WHEN: Threads can be set at any time this week.
WARNING(S): if a thread goes into warning label territory, either throw it in the subject line or take it to a separate log.

The entire campus is decorated for the holidays in red greens and silvers. It seems just about every major winter holiday is represented in some way. In the main lobby, there's an absolutely gigantic tree done up in a brilliant light display, with Emma Frost's touch added to the star. She's probably off somewhere enjoying a spot of cocoa with her old comrades, even. But really this wasn't so much for the Institute itself, but for all of its students. The ones that had no other home to return to....

Liir flinched, wary of intruding on Meulin's privacy again. He closed his eyes, breathed deep and went through the mental exercises he'd been taught to keep his power at bay. Then he opened them and a tiny smile appeared on his lips.

"Oh?"

[hearmyfeels]

She waited politely as he went through the same sort of thing she herself had to do, breathing, dealing with things, if in a different manner and to a different end. When he spoke, she beamed, smile wide and eager.

"Yes! I'm leaving until like--the 30th? I'll be back for New Years but I wanted to do presents before then!"

She rummaged in her bag, checking a few tags before she pulled out the right one.

Liir took the package, shook it, then carefully opened it.

When he opens it, he finds a looseknit green scarf. She bounces on her heels, leaning to watch him open it.

"I learned how to arm knit. You use your hand and warms as the needles sort of and I know it's pretty thin but I'm not THAT good at it yet, you know? So I tried a simpler one first!"

It is lucky for her that Liir is exactly the kind of person who would appreciate a simple gift like this. He likes to be warm and he appreciate that it took a level of concentration he wouldn't expect from the normally bouncy Meulin. He winds it around his neck.

"Thank you. I'm warmer already. But i don't have anything for you..."

He just assumed noone gave enough of a crap about him. He thinks he's realy screwed this one up.

Doing various crafts was sort of a step in the right direction for her eventual dreams of cosplaying and making her own clothing. Lord knows, she didn't have the patience for something that took ages and ages quite yet.

"Don't worry about it, I don't mind! I pretty much got something fur everyone--though shh, most of this is chocolate. I don't really know everyone that well. And green--that's your color too so...yeah!"
