[Horst is in his supah fine Victorian clothes, twirling his hat idly] Right. I guess I'll get this started.

[Throat clear. Kneel in front of the PCD.] The holidays are upon us and I have a parade to run. Cloud Strife, I'm on my knees asking you to come and have fun. If you're really good, I can see to it that Santa tosses a candy cane in your direction. It just won't be the same if you're not there, so please, come.

Oh he'll come. He'll likely be bound and gagged and tied to a parade float, but he'll be there.

[Ignore the fact that this is why he likes you because HOW CAN YOU MISS HIM. TAKE HIM, TAKE HIM AWAAAY, REI.]

[REI GETS ALONG WITH THE CREEPY PEOPLE OF ADSTRING. SERIOUSLY.]

Well, then, I'll be there!

And I can't wait to see you! Nor can Johannes, although I'm sure you know he'll insist otherwise. The festivities will start at [x,y], two nights hence.

I'll be there. I'll even bring Johannes a present.

Oi don't forget the blushing bride! This is his first Christmas, did you know?

I did. And I already got him his present.

I think the only gift he wants from me is my premature death, so I'm trying to find something as a compromise.

[Being unusually kind to Cloud? Maybe they ARE getting hitched]

Some mittens, perhaps? Earmuffs? A teacosy for his sword? And not that sword, you pervert, I saw where your saucy mind went.

[... sigh, Horst.]

If I told you what I got him, you would tell him.

On my honor, I would not. [Really, you think he can't keep a secret? He loves surprises.]

But I haven't told anyone. What makes you think you deserve to know?

[Eyebrow raise] What if I get him the same thing? How embarrassing would that be?

I made it, so you won't.

[He laughs, imagining turning up with the same thing all the same; though of course Rei's would be beautiful and perfect, and Horst's would be made of white glue and twigs]

Very well. Would you care to throw an idea at me, then? Something he wouldn't want?

A marriage to you is probably at the top of his list.

[Snortsnicker] Hah! I'd have thought so too, but this was his idea.

Was it?

Scout's honor. He even insisted it be public.
