The Christmas celebrations were a thing that Mokou could never get back into. Even though she had lended a hand wrapping gifts, decorating, and even gathering some fish for the festivities, she ultimately found herself hanging around the edges of the fairground, sitting next to a smaller fire with her Spheal, which she had taken to calling Keine, currently munching away at one of the fish that had been collected and cooked for the festivities. 

From where she sat, Mokou just watched everyone else. Distant memories did come to her, from times both before this holiday was regularly celebrated and memories afterwards. An immortal like her was hard to give gifts for, and it was even harder for her to figure out good gifts for people of shorter lives. One of the flaws of immortality was eventually becoming out of touch with those around you, and this holiday always made her remember that fact painfully.

“Um, excuse me miss! Are you a… ‘Fuji…Wara no Mokou’?” a young girl suddenly approached, snapping the phoenix from her thoughts, “We’re handing out presents and this one is addressed to you”

Mokou herself blinks for a second, but shrugs, leaning forward to take the gift from the girl, [color=ed1c24]“Yeah, but just call me Mokou. Surprised that there was something for me, seeing as how I just got here”[/color] Mokou comments, earning a shrug in response from the girl,

“Well, it’s the season of giving! Everyone deserves to get something. Gotta get back to delivering, enjoy your present Miss Mokou!” with that the girl turns on her heel jogging back to the center tree to collect her next batch of presents.

Holding the package in her hand, Mokou didn’t waste much time opening it… And what she found inside the paper wrapping surprised her. A ball of burning ice, radiating freezing cold and blazing heat at the same time. Something that should have incinerated the package it was contained in without issue. Keine looked up from their fish, sensing the strange ball and letting out an inquisitive “Sphea?”

After a few moments, Mokou let out a small sigh, the Frozen Flame ball vanishing as she stored the weapon away. Things were always a curiosity, even with festivals. It wasn’t anything grand, but… Mokou could appreciate the extra fire power.

It would come in handy in the days ahead, at the very least.
