NARRATOR POV

Iris:Raven...hey Raven?

He was working on the LC. Iris was on the walkway looking smuggly up at him.

Raven:yeah?

Iris:guess what day it is?

Raven:I dunno. Do you even have days on Rubicon?

Iris:yeah in numbers. We don't name the days...I here we used to do that ages ago

Raven:that's stupid

Iris:I know right? Naming a day? Anyway guess what day it is

Raven sighed and turned to look down at her.

Raven:you just said it was dumb to name a day

Iris:this is different! You really don't know what time of year it is?

Raven:I don't even know how old I am

Iris:that's depressing but anyway...it's Christmas!

He had no reaction.

Raven:is that supposed to...mean something to me or?

Iris gasped.

Iris:you don't know what Christmas is!?

Raven:clearly not

He went back to work.

Iris:it's a time of peace! Don't you find it weird how we've had no missions?

Raven thoight for a moment. It was a little strange but he shrugged it off.

Raven:so?

Iris:Balem! Arquebes! The RLF! None of them are fighting anymore!

Raven slid off the top of the LC and landed in front of her.

Raven:so I'm outta the job?

Iris:no idiot! You know its just easier if I actually tell you what it is...Christmas before the War was a happy time for every planet. A time of cheer and festivities...and occasionally the birth of some saviour but they did away with that because it was...stupid?

Raven:sounds that way

Iris:yeah they did away with it. But the point is...we can have a break, people even got presents

Raven:"presents"?

Iris face palmed.

Iris:do I have to explain what a gift is?

Raven:gift? Yeah I know what that is I meant a Present?

Iris:ITS THE SAME THING!

She was getting annoyed.

Raven:there are gaps in my knowledge this is hardly news

Iris screamed into her arm and took a breath.

Iris:okay...we won't have work until Christmas is over

Raven:great that's all I needed

He walked away.

Iris:where you going?

Raven:we have a break right?

He continued to his sleeping spot.

Iris:but I...

He was out of ear shot.

Iris:I wanted to...spend some time with you...
