[ Boonta Eve had unfortunately turned into less of a generous holiday and more of a spectacle than anything else.
...But he's not about to try and correct her. Especially over text. Especially when it's obvious she's hoping he'll ask her what holidays she has on Earth. You can practically hear the sigh halfway across the city. ]
[ He probably shouldn't. She'd feel (a small) amount of shame and probably leave him on read if he did correct her, which is good that he didn't because she sits up on her bed. Locked in. Ready. She's rehearsed this text at least five times on her notes app— ]
christmas
a guy named santa comes every year and gives you a gift if you're nice, i mean!! if you're #naughty you get coal lol
[ She, really, just thought the hashtag would be cute. Lottie also sees, now, that her little indulgence has given her one of the funniest texts she's seen from him to date. She snorts aloud— ]
[ Is she roleplaying as Santa? Weird.. But she bites, takes some time to actually think it over. Quickly, she realizes, the answer is always a yes with Cassian. He's been startlingly good ever since they met. He helped her stranded on the side of the road without even knowing her— he set herself on fire. He even texts her back at odd hours of the day.
It sort of makes her feel bad, the amount of times she hasn't paid it back, his kindness, the feel good companionship he so readily gives her. Which— is the opposite of what she should be feeling (sappy, grateful). There's a reason she texted him!! ]
[ Let the record show that he definitely isn't asking her to roleplay Santa - whoever that may be. He sounds rather mythical and Cassian has never quite been able to bring himself to believe in that sort of thing. What he is doing is asking her for her opinion. ]
Good-er? Lottie I don't think that's a word.
[ But that's less of him chastising her and more to do with being amused. ]
[ Her opinion — Santa or not — is still woefully good. Painstakingly so, even if he's doubting how literate she is right now (he isn't— she knows he's teasing, for once). ]
you understood it!! that counts
[ Comes her near sing-song reply. ]
as of right now? you'd probably get like wool socks

He's also in his own bed staring at the message on the screen. It sounds straightforward enough. So why is the one thing that he catches on - ]
What is the difference between #naughty and "naughty"?
[ ...Scratch that. Maybe he is poking the green bear. Just inadvertently. ]
