( from here. )
I guess it’s pretty obvious.
[ That’s a yes.
With a smile that just straddles the line between pleasant and overeager, she holds out a hand for him to shake. Shake her hand, Shinjiro. Do it. ]
I’m Pyrrha. [ So much introducing! It’s a nice change from everyone knowing her name back home. ] Nice to meet you.

[ Country to country, he corrects. Pyrrha makes a point to memorise it; although Remnant is different on many points, a lot of people here seem to be from varying versions of a similar world, right down to the name and terminology.
Curiously: ]
Do you celebrate it?

[ It’s her duty as a future huntress, but all Pyrrha says is, in an equal whisper - ]
I’m happy to help.
[ Wait. Wait. ]
Although - it’d probably be better to not be in situations like this in the future. [ Holding him in her peripheral vision, Pyrrha gauges how steady he is, if he’s injured or standing tall. This will take at least one (1) more tag to finish judging! Action will commence when Pyrrha returns, right after these messages. ]

Sort of.
[Naoki looks nostalgic, gaze faraway, like he's looking at something long since passed.]
My dad and I've made a Christmas cake together every year, ever since I was old enough to remember. Usually just a little one. Oh-- [Remembering she probably isn't familiar with it:] It's a sponge cake, with white icing and strawberries on top.

[Maya initially stiffens at the touch, but relaxes just as quickly]
[She's also squinting against the rapidly darkening carriage, trying to make out any evil villains about to pop up. In a stage whisper:]
Do you have a plan?

[Sorry Pyrrha, Tenka's distracted and her's parroting her too.]
Nice?
Nice?
[You pick up some things here and there after being around the block a few (dozen) times, including how to properly shake hands like a functioning adult lest he get harassed about a lack of proper manners. There's only about 2 seconds worth of staring at Pyrrha's outstretched hand - as opposed to his usual five - before he's reaching out and taking it in a firm grip. (He is still sighing inwardly though, that hasn't changed.)]
Shinjiro.
[Pyrrha the miracle worker, able to collect both a handshake and a name.]
You already got the explanation about this place?

[ Yeah, sorry about this, Sousei. Pyrrha's about to destroy your reputation. ]
He offered to assist me in my combat training, so my skills don't get too dulled while I'm here.
[ See! Nice!!
She doesn't even mention the tour he gave her on her first day. ]

[ Anything with strawberries sounds absolutely wonderful to Pyrrha. However, she’s taking in his expression and breadth of his gaze as much as anything. If she knew him better, she’d strive to be comforting. As it is, all she can do is make an attempt. It’s graceful as anything she does. ]
Maybe we could find one.
[ Her eyes go down the length of market stalls, selling various ornaments and other treats. Most of them are manned by robots but, well, that’s a risk they’ll have to take. ]
It sounds delicious. -- I’ll pay for it.

Yeah, I do.
[ It's probably not as clever as anything Jaune could conceive, but Pyrrha has rarely had to extend her strategic abilities to anyone other than herself. Factoring in Maya had slowed her down considerably but, no matter what, they'll both get out of here alive.
Perhaps worryingly, Pyrrha follows up with - ]
How are you with heights?

[Naoki grins sidelong at her, shaking from memories (warm, if overlaid with a terrible longing and the knowledge of what comes later).] We can definitely look for one. Nothing beats homemade, though.
[Phrased with a more playful lilt. Not to boast about his abilities to make that one kind of cake, though, of course.]
But the ones you can buy are never bad either.

[ She releases his hand promptly, her own falling behind her back in an attentive clasp. Shinjiro may not want it, but he has her full attention for the time being. ]
Yeah, I imagine so.
[ That's different from being prepared, but at least she's still armed. ]
What I was told by CERES and what others have been telling me are a bit different.

[ Her invitation - or whatever it may have been - accepted, Pyrrha begins a calm stroll down the lines of tents. Some of them are quite sweet smelling. Others sell trinkets she's never seen, nesting dolls and Christmas ornaments. ]
How long has it been since you've had one?
[ Stopping at the first cake she sees, Pyrrha interrupts herself with a second question. ]
Is that it?

Next time, I won't miss the fight.
[ Just that, solemn as any vow. The twinkling lights of the tree are showing colours and shadows on Yang's hair, turning the gold burnished, red highlights pinning a crown. A moment to get distracted by it, and another for relief. ]
