-Andromeda-

Andro had watched everyone else prepare for christmas with odd fascination, as she had every christmas since she first ever came to Athalia. she hadn't really had christmas when she lived with her parents. her mother never gave her anything, her secretary did, something simple but expensive, like a necklace and earrings or an expensive painting. her father showered her in gifts but it wasn't exactly odd and it wasn't like there was much ceremony to it. she'd never had a big thing christmas morning where she opened presents with someone staring at her with love and admiration. the servants were all scared of her and wouldn't do anything with her. the few that actually knew her had tried once or twice but she always got so meloncholic when it came to the holiday that they could never make her do much. 
but at Athalia it had been differant, everyone had freaked out and the ones who stayed at the school would make Christmas a huge deal, get everyone involved. and after they came to Oasari it really hadn't changed much. she hadn't done much. she didn't have much either, she certainy didn't have acess to a fortune anymore but she did what she could to get her few friends some presents, small things that she hoped they would like. they were all under the massive tree, just waiting. she didn't honestly expect any presents herself but she figured that wasn't the point. 

she liked the sound of the band. that's what she was doing now, just listening. so she was witness to Lily and Carmen's snowy assault. she couldn't help smiling and chuckling a little.
