We could talk about whatever... Don't people always talk about the weather, when they wanna talk but don't wanna say anything?
[ A soft laugh. That sounds like one of the most miserable conversation topics Taiga's ever heard, if she were to be honest. But if it helped, she'd suck it up. ]
[ Taiga breaks out into a smile at the mention of Christmas. It had been so long since she'd thought about the holiday; there were too many other things to worry about in Nyoi-cho after her first attempt at celebrating. ]
The cold is part of the holidays! Do you think... [ Should she get her hopes up? ] You think we could celebrate Christmas this year?
Of course we can. I don't know that anyone particularly celebrates it here, but we could always bring it up to everyone else. We'll make Christmas count this year.
[ A light smile on her end. Christmas sounded important to Taiga before, and they both ended up miserable at the end of the season. One more chance to make that better, and to actually celebrate... she'd help in any way she could to make that happen. ]
Mmm... that'd mean a lot to me. Even if people don't know, it's fun to celebrate things. Maybe we could even do gifts? It doesn't have to be anything super fancy, but it'd be fun...

No, that felt inappropriate to say, really. Navigating this was ridiculous, for the most part. ]
Mmm... I... I guess I could use time to think. I'm not... not really sure what to talk about, though.

It is going to get colder soon. Oh, you know, before we know it, it'll be Christmas again, won't it? I mean, it's still pretty far away, but...
