[Jason stopped walking, probably because suddenly hearing a voice when being unable to see them would only lead to a disaster. It took him a moment to register who it was, a smile crossing his face at the sound of Childe’s voice.]
Luckily for you, I've got a pair. [A currently numb and unfeeling pair, but they were there for him to utilize nonetheless. He reached up with his left, the Vision on his hip giving a dull pulse as three of the five boxes were lifted securely up off the stack by a cascade of water and lowered into his own arms. From there the liquid evaporated once more, leaving the cardboard surprisingly dry.]
[There's a curious look to his expression for a moment, and he's nodding along like he gets it for roughly two seconds before he opens his mouth to give away the fact that he absolutely does not understand.]
Can I ask you what Christmas is supposed to be? I keep hearing it get thrown around.
[He snorts a bit. Go figure the guy didn't know what it was. Wonder what they had in Teyvet for Christmas, if they had anything at all. Maybe some like winter solstice shit.]
It's a Christian Holiday or some shit. Celebrate the birth of Jesus. Mind you they took that holiday from the pagans, but say that to a Christan and they'd probably combust. But most people simply celebrate it because you're supposed to decorate a pine tree and leave gifts under it for friends and family. There's also this tale that kids are told about a jolly fat guy that travels the whole world in one night to leave the presents to the good kids and coal to the bad kids.
[please dont make me make up more teyvat holidays i know where you live]
That's uh... A lot for a holiday, all at once.
[He shifts his grip on the boxes again, drumming his fingers against the cardboard.] Jesus is Lucifer's brother or something, correct? I've never heard of the other guy, though.
Some shit like that yeah. Santa Claus, or Saint Nick, whatever you want to call him. Picture a round dude with a lot of hair and a massive white beard. Has a bunch of elves working for him year round making toys and has flying reindeer.

Hey, Red. I wouldn’t say no to a hand or two.

Where ya headed?
no subject
[Jason laughed a bit, shifting the boxes that he still had so he could hold them a little better.]
Heading back to my classroom. Just needed some supplies for the set I’m making for the play.
[A sly little smirk crossed his lips as he started walking again.]
Don’t suppose your hands could help me with that too?
no subject
[It's said with an easy chuckle, and he shifts the weight of the boxes just a bit, a new spark of interest in his eye]
So. What kind of play?
no subject
Jason couldn't help but smirk. Childe always knew just how to tickle his funny bone.]
The Nut Cracker. Ya know, cause of Chirstmas.
[Probably not cause Childe came from like fantasy Russia.]
It's usually a ballet, but half these kids can't dance let alone sing so it's going to be stellar.
