บท 658: Dawning Reality

So I guess I'm down one jacket now. Shame… I really liked that one too. 

Not sure what much use Adalia can actually garner from it other than holding it in her hands there like some kind of child's blanky, or wearing it… she's trying to wear it now… to great appeal, surprisingly… and now I'm just wondering why other people look better in my clothes than I do. 

Hey, perhaps I could count this as her Christmas present, maybe? She's content, she's happy, she's put it cause she liked it, didn't she? Why not? It's a valid idea, and no, it's not a cop-out idea, I don't even know what that word means.

"We got a Christmas tree being delivered here in the evening," I said, peering at her through the railings near the top of the stairs. "It's pretty big, pretty dull… you wanna help us make it look Christmas-worthy?"
