Um, hello. My name is Confidence, and I wanted to ask a few questions. If that's okay?

[ He's holding on pretty well, voice not stuttering... much? ]

There's been talk about undeath and serious things, so I figured it could be nice to focus on the seasonal festivities! I've heard it is called Firalia here, but others call it Christmas?

My home country has something similar, but it doesn't take place in winter...

So I... um... I wondered if anyone would like to share how they celebrate at home...? Especially what they eat and things you do with family and friends.

My world does not have that particular celebration, but it does seem as though many worlds do have holidays this month... or the equivalent, I suppose. I know for many years we would celebrate the founding of Garreg Mach Monastery, which was generally accompanied by a ball for the students attending the Academy. Of course... that has fallen by the wayside over the years, given that there has been a war going on. I'm not sure if I appreciated the ball at the time, but now, I miss those days.

There is also Saint Cichol's Day, which is merely a day of quiet religious observance. There is generally a choir recital on those days, which is pleasant enough. My birthday falls upon the same day, though, so I have a bit of a special place in my heart for the holiday.

War... um, war tends to put holidays aside. I'm very sorry, balls and celebrating a monastery sounds really nice. Hopefully it will return when the war is over?

[ He doesn't really know how that works, but he tries. ]

You're born on a holiday? That must be a really wonderful experience! Especially if there's choirs to listen to and a day of calm.

I do believe it will eventually, though it will take time and effort. Things are... somewhat unstable at the moment, and there are pressing things to attend to.

It is definitely pleasant. I do generally have duties to attend to on that day, though I don't dislike my work so long as nothing particularly stressful comes up.

I can't say I understand anything about war and what it means to deal with one, but I hope it will turn out okay in the end. It must be really difficult.

[ Connie's from a very stable country, the worst they have are skirmishes with the woodland people. It's the political dance that will kill you. ]

Can I ask what it is you do, or is that too personal?
