[A video from a very excited, purple-haired girl also appears on the network on Christmas morning. Perhaps if you are familiar with the girl on the screen, she may look a little different. It's not the glasses- although they are fairly new. Rather... well, let her tell you!]

My BUD! My BUD IS HERE!

[Where there once was a leaf tucked behind Ai's ear, there is now a bright pink bud.]

I am VERY VERY excited! This is VERY EXCITING!

... That's all! I hope that everyone has a happy Christmas!

[iaiai]

Thank you! I think so too...! [She takes a moment to touch it, then smiles.] I hope not! It took very long to bud, but I hope the flower comes soon!

Perhaps... the coming Spring shall help, when the weather is warmer.

[video]

[iaiai]

That would be very nice! The sooner the better!

[ The smile on Furiae's face deepens a little, for a moment, and she makes a 'mmm' sound in acknowledgement. ]

The others of your kind... the Pikmin? How are they faring?

[video]

[iaiai]

My sister is doing very well, I think.

Do you mean the Pikmin in the greenhouse? They're great! They are learning more every day. I'm very proud of them.

[stillawoman]

Oh, your sister... I remember now. You spoke of her before... she is the one with white hair that spends time in the library?

[video]

[iaiai]

Mmhm! She's the librarian!

[And Ai seems rather proud of that, too.]

[video]

[stillawoman]

Yes... I see her when I go. She is always reading. Being the librarian suits her well.

[video]

[iaiai]

Yes! She's very smart, too! She knows everything!

[video]

[stillawoman]

Does she teach to you what she learns?

[video]

[iaiai]

Sometimes. Not most of the time. She tells me lots of things, though. I just usually ask her about them first! She's very quiet...

[video]

[stillawoman]

She sounds to be the eldest of you both. Is she? You... make me think of Caim, when you speak of her. As a younger sister looking up to their sibling...

[ And she's not sure how she feels about it. Nostalgic...? Of a young girl who would always be so fond of her older and smarter brother. CAIM BETTER NOT BE STALKING THIS. Admitting it does make her feel some twinge of embarrassment; it was strange to think about and to share. ]
