[Spending time in Goldenrod with Thida had been a blast and honestly? It had been exactly what Noctis had needed. Since coming back to the Pokemon world he hadn't really found his bearings yet but this? It was helping. A lot.
The Christmas Market and just hanging out with his little sister had helped him settle back in and feel less like he was on the outside looking in; like he was going to be ripped away at any second again.
By the time Christmas rolled around? He was so at ease that he was actually up at the crack of dawn and encouraging Cara the Riolu and Sprout the Eevee to go wake Thida up.
Beware the bombardment, Thida! You've got two small fluffs jumping up onto your bed squeaking and chirping!
[Surprisingly, for such a young lady, it takes a while for even Thida to wake up on Christmas. She groans a little as the Riolu and Eevee leap upon her, but at least Poko the Tepig, who's taken to curling up with his trainer in bed during the winter, wakes right up and...joins in on the fun.
Oops.
She'll trundle on downstairs behind the three excited Pokemon, hair down and wild in a big mess, her flannel pajamas rumpled and a hoodie haphazardly thrown on over it. She's got slippers on that scuff the floor as she walks and blinks blearily.]
Noctis...?
[Is that you? She squints, tilting her head. Still tired, this one.]
[Cara and Sprout are delighted when Poko join in and even more delighted when Thida finally gets up.
PRESENTS!!!
The prince in question is already settled on the floor, wrapped up in a hoodie of his own--the Gyarados one he'd worn on Halloween because of course he's going to wear it year round--with a mug of hot cocoa on the ground beside him. Quay the Primarina twills merrily from where she's resting near him, waving at the lively crew as Cara and Sprout be line for the small pile of presents while Noct looks up at Thida and grins.]
[It takes her a moment to really digest the scene. Noctis, Quay, hot cocoa, presents under what's likely the most happily decorated Charlie Brown-esque tree, because Thida probably felt sorry for it and bought it...]

Squidmas is now already?
