Well the cops found the dagger that was sent to me strange but they were frustratingly unhelpful about it. It almost seems like they're conditioned to not react to this?
I don't know how to word it but it's that.

Of course I do. That's a given after what everyone has been through.
How is the million dollar question for us at the moment. Only knows who really know are Jim and others in the company and we have not seen hide nor hair of them.

I think we all picked those facts up right away. Around when we realised Chocobos weren't supposed to be a thing, you know?
Why is that important? You think there's a connection to that somehow?
[ Well, they've been assigned to a chore team together... Elizabeth doesn't mind—she enjoys spending time with people in general, she's come to find—and the first chore they've decided to take on is handmaking a gift for an elderly person! Or a child.
Luckily, she gotten origami lessons from Hinata, so she has some colorful Christmas-themed paper for that. There's other art supplies too, of course... ]
What should we make, Mr. Sauveterre? I've become quite adept at making paper stars as of late, but I'm not certain they'd be a good gift.

[While he still needs a few moments to remember that familiar name, Augustine is just as happy that they will be working together for the charity drive. As they agreed, they decided to try to take on handmaking a gift for the elderly.
And just seeing the Christmas-themed paper and other art supplies gives him an idea for their gift.]
True. But now that you've mentioned it, I was thinking we should try making a special Christmas card along with some special surprises I'm planning.

A special Christmas card... [ She taps her paper, then nods. ] Yes, I think that sounds wonderful. I'll follow your lead then, sir.
[ And she'll find a pretty red paper to make a rose out of. It has snowflakes on it, to keep with the Christmas theme.
She sets it aside for him once she's finished and completely satisfied— one rose, made to order. ]
There you are.

[ A dove... She'll pull out her phone to find a quick tutorial on it, picking out an equally cute pattern as it loads. Oh, it shouldn't be too hard... ]
This is sounding quite adorable, if you don't mind my saying so.
[ She'll work on making a dove though, smoothing out edges as best she can. It's going to take her a little longer than the rose though—she hasn't actually tried animals before. ]

[In his honesty, he has little experience with arts and crafts. It didn't help that he has poor drawing skills with this project. Regardless, he is still determined with helping Elizabeth with the card.
So it only took him a while to cut strips of papers that will serve as mechanisms to their pop-up card. The cuts seem very shaky, but he hopes it won't affect how it works.]
How are you with the dove?

It's a little trickier than I expected, however...
[ ...She is working on a second dove that seems to be coming along better than the first? That's the one she'll pass over to him. ]
With a little practice, I'm certain I'll be able to master it in no time.

A recent acquaintance taught me... Grandmaster Hinata Aoi. [ he's just her grandmaster, though. ] Only the basics, however. I've been doing more self-study in my downtime.
I see. And what do you mean by "Grandmaster"?
[In his honesty, he hasn't had a clue on what Grandmaster did she specifically described.
Though as he asked this, he started on writing words like "Have a magical Christmas". It was a cheesy line, but it may warm the elder's heart.]

He's the king of origami. [ she may be exaggerating slightly. ] The grand poobah of folding paper, if you will.
[He has no idea what 'grand poobah' is, but he can tell how skilled her master in his art.]
Remind me to take some lessons from him sometimes. I do need some way to work on my artistic side.
[He chuckles in a sheepish manner as he feels a little embarrassed, especially the font he just wrote on the card.]

Of course. His full name is Hinata Aoi—he's a little younger than me, I believe...? He certainly acted it.
