❝ I'm not calling you performative. I'm just giving you some extra ideas... Funnily enough, most people who want to help have no clue how to. ❞

She's so... Calm, like she's had this conversation a million times with a million different young boys.

❝ It’s nice to know you are doing stuff already. ❞
The flyer was taken, though tucked away into his clothing.

"This test? Are you calling me performative? I know exactly where I'll be this holiday season. Already started up early."

"Clothing, food, all of that I've been working at to make sure those in need are helped as much as I can."
Hands the kid a flyer filled with places that could use some volunteers around the holidays and several ways to help folks.

She's a big believer in "Put your time where your mouth is."

Honestly, when I was a kid we basically got a roscón de reyes and some candy. Maybe a new piece of clothing if we really needed it.

But we were dirt fucking poor. Kids getting over the top boxes on boxes of stuff in richer families is old as dirt.

Your holiday capitalist consumerism culture makes me sick.

"It's gonna be Christmas soon, mama."

Cutting up apple slices for the listless woman, putting them up to her mouth, even as his own stomach twisted up in knots.

"Do you want a present? I'll get it for you."

No matter the cost. He was getting better at dodging hidden cameras now.

[ For a second, Nel doubted what name to give.

But for family matters, and her brother's knife was certainly it, there was only one name to give. ]

Amparo García Rosas, nice to meet you.
one hell of a man, eh?

it's a great honor to be entrusted with this, ma'am. i'll make sure the knife keeps his memory alive.

oh—speaking of, can i get your name?
He was a carpenter until he had to be a soldier. He was... Kind and radiant, at least that's the him I rather remember, the second out of the four of us... He was always the responsible one.

His name was José.

gotcha. in that case, is it alright for you to tell me what kind of person he was? i believe it'll turn out better if i keep that in mind.
It's mostly for the sentimental value. It was my brother's.

No preferences, do as you think best.

for sure, boss! way to cut the cost too. any preferred material for the blade?
Sure! If I gave you one of my old knives, could you change the blade and keep the handle?

That poor thing is rusted beyond saving.

SICK. okay. you tell me where to find it. or if you have one, that'd be great. i can engrave name, date, whatever you want on it.
Yeah. I have a thing for the classics.

like, from real deer antler handle?
Fuck it, I'm gifting one to myself.

Do you make deer antler knives?

❝ That’s a fair enough point. ❞
"But then I will lack anything to present come the day of Christmas. Then it will be stupid."
❝ Then do so, kid. It's not mandatory to wait until Christmas Eve, just traditional. ❞

"I want to deliver my gift."
❝ That depends, the season or the day? ❞

❝ Not nearly enough levels. ❞
Uhh. We have like. We have "heck"?
Wait.

Do you Americans lack the beautiful thing that is CHILD SWEARING? In Spain kids have an entire different set of "watered down" swear words.

He has two Christmas gifts he's finally wrapped & decorated with a large, green bow.

" . . . Is it Christmas yet?"

Swearing isn't inherently bad. How is he supposed to express himself when he drops a block on his foot?

❝ My brothers, and my comrades, and... Well, the international brigadeers were also pretty great. ❞

She kept talking as if not being questioned was normal, natural. It was not. But for once, she didn't have to lie about herself.
Ninety.. sounded about right. Memory gets a little fuzzy after fifty or so-- but seemed around the right time.

"Ninety, yeah.. How long' go was that again? Nineteen err.. thirty..."

..Math wasn't his strong suit.

"Seems right. Who were these friends of yer's?"
❝ Almost ninety years, ❞ She replied, fully aware she was not going to be taken seriously.

Almost everyone took that phrase as a joke. It was not.

Jesucristo bendito. Who let those kids raise a baby?

❝ Almost ninety years, ❞ She replied, fully aware she was not going to be taken seriously.

Almost everyone took that phrase as a joke. It was not.
"A life time ago, eh?"

A harmless quick sniffing,

"How long 'go we talkin'?"

Could be a simple answer like five.. or maybe it could be something longer; like fifty.
❝ Some good friends a lifetime ago. ❞

She seemed a bit too young to be talking of lifetimes. Yet, her canines were also a bit too pointy to be normal.

She's going on a hunt tonight.

Theres the smallest clap to show his appreciation of it, a lean back as he talks.

"Hadn't heard it for a long time ta' be honest. Ya' learn it from somewhere?"
And so, Nel kept singing for a long while. Her voice was painted by her Castillian accent, so undeniably Spanish. That, and sorrow.

Once she reached the end, she just put the guitar aside.

❝ Thanks for listening. ❞

Honestly, sometimes I think I am the one lucky bastard that never has to deal with that fuck-ass behaviour.

She sings when she is bored, or doing something repetitive, or happy, or sad, or cooking, or hunting... She sings a lot.
