That's good. I'd hate for a wonderful person like you to be alone on Christmas Eve.
[Really, he would. Haru is too nice to be alone on such an important holiday, so he's really glad to know that she has people to spend time with on it.]
I'm also glad you have good friends from your home to spend time with too. It must be nice, to have people from your home with you for the holidays.
[ Haru nods with a small smile, her eyes a touch brighter than before now. ]
I'm glad Akira-kun is here, even if it's a bit selfish to admit.
[ But somehow, it makes the most sense. Finding herself lost in this strange new land and her leader appearing as the beacon she needed, just like she did last fall. ]
I don't think it's selfish of you to want someone you care about with you. I think... That's just human nature. To want to be with the people you care about the most.
[And even though he has so many people here that he cares about, there are those who have shown up and left just as fast that his heart hurts to think about. He's lucky to not be alone, that's true, but at the same time... He also misses the people from home too.]
[ She glances over at the newly gifted scarf from Akira, her heart blooming in her chest again, just as it had when she had unwrapped the gift in the first place.
How lucky she is, not only to meet precious people, but people who have no demands of her aside from wanting her to be happy. ]
Yes, you're right. Not being able to leave here so easily isn't something I would want to put the people I care about through, but I do miss them.
[ A beat. ]
You know... we should do something for the holidays, Kazuya-kun.
[He sounds a little surprised by that. Not because he doesn't think of them as not friends, but because he'd assumed that Haru had more important people to spend time with an do things with for the holidays.]
I don't mind. [He hasn't cemented any plans yet, after all.] Did you have anything in particular in mind?
[She didn't know! And neither of them had expected their first go through it either when it was magical either...]
What I like to do, though...? Um.. Normally I just follow along with whatever the person I'm with is doing. Sorry, I'm not really the one who makes those decisions normally.
I never actually joined any, now that I think about it. They wanted me to join the school council at one point, but I turned them down. I'd rather focus on my studies, you know? And spend time with my friends.

You are my friend! And I should make it up to you for the mistletoe... um, both times now.

What about clubs you're in at school?

Not that she doesn't think Kazuya is intelligent, but she didn't think he was that interested in school. Maybe because it's never quite come up.
She turns a little so she can face him better on the couch, careful not to jostle Juniper much in her lap. ]
How diligent of you! That's impressive.
[ Social stat rank up... ]
Do you not like sports? I'm not good at them, honestly... maybe that's a bad idea...

Maybe kendo would have been helpful to have gotten into, considering what happened back home, but I guess that ship has long since sailed.

[ There's so much opportunity to be explored in this world, she thinks.
But she also understands not everyone is interested in doing more than they already do. ]
Um, only if you want! It's okay if you want to enjoy your time here peacefully.
