Don't think I know enough to count for "a lot"... [ And he can only imagine how Henry would take that. ]

But it's the kind of thing that works best when you have friends with you. Not that I've had Christmas dinner in, like... a decade...

[ Looking at their basket, Logan lets out a low sound. ] Think we just need five more and we'll be done here.

[onerous]

Then, this'll be something fun and new for most of us, I think. I don't think there are many people ehre with an adjusted enough home life to find Christmas dinners very common.

[LOOK SHE'S JUST CALLING IT HOW SHE SEES IT]

So I think it's something we'll all appreciate, and not something any of us will know is going wrong if it's not perfect. [So don't worry, everyone's dysfunctional childhoods and cultural backgrounds will see you through, Logan.

She continues to clip at the tomatoes though.] Are these going to be used for anything in particular? [Or are they just being gathered 'just in case' or something? She can't remember if he said already or not.]

[danzan]

[ Logan doesn't mention as much, but he appreciates the reassurance, and it shows as his lips curve into a smile and he mutters a quiet 'okay'. He's not particularly concerned about the whole thing going horribly wrong (most things did at Xavier's, anyway, as is the nature of big celebrations), but he hasn't had an avenue to have people he likes all gathered together in ages.

Have too much of a good thing after so long without it and you start to wonder if you're allowed to have it at all. ]

This kid Diarmuid's making porridge. [ He'll answer Yuri's question easily, though, and keeps his clippers in his back pocket as he holds the basket up for Yuri to put the last of the tomatoes they need in it. ] Have you ever tasted that shit plain? Nobody 'cept me and Di are gonna end up eating it, and that's just 'cause my tastebuds ain't picky.

So we're making it tasty with tomatoes. They're pretty damn good boiled.

[onerous]

Porridge? [She can't say she's ever really had it before and she shakes her head slowly. SHe's heard of it though and she looks thoughtfully at the tomatoes]

Maybe we should try getting berries too? Something to make it sweet.

[...She prefers sweet things, okay, so sue her. This month is being killer on her sweet tooth.]

[danzan]

Yeah? You wanna go into the woods?

[ They've got all the tomatoes now, so Logan lifts the basket up in one arm, balancing it against his head and shoulder as he gets to his feet. ]

The blueberries out there're killer.

[ Pause. ] Not... literally.

[onerous]

I'm not afraid of the woods. [She apsues and remembers the mushrooms] Though, perhaps staying away from the mushroom areas would be... wise.

[She straightens up as well, giving him a look at the blueberry comment.]

Not as far as we know. [It's a joke, but also... Still, Yuri laughs a little.] Blueberries sound good though. I can't remember the last time I had fresh berries or anything like that.

[danzan]

What, seriously? [ The way he sounds is halfway towards horrified, but this is joking, too. Light. It feels nice to be able to joke around with someone again. ] All right. Yeah, we're definitely going for blueberries now.

They're really sweet out there. I ended up making some wine out of them.

[onerous]

You can make wine out of blueberries?

[She's learning all sorts of thing stoday, apparently.] I thought you could only make it out of grapes...?

[danzan]

You can make wine outta most fruits, Yuri. [ He says this patiently.

Going to where a huge metal cauldron-pot thing is, Logan sets the basket of tomatoes there for Diarmuid to find later. ] My favourite kind's peach.
