The weather's annoying, isn't it?
Characters: Enoch and anyone!
Setting: Around the tower, forward-dated to the 12th.
Format: Either is fine!
Summary: Enoch made several cloaks last week and is handing them out....even if he's sick.
Warnings: None yet!
He'd been pressing his luck, going around and trying to give comfort or company to the sick. Though, one couldn't blame him, given that the most illness he's had in a century is a bit of an upset stomach. He's built up quite a resistance.
He'd almost forgotten what it was like to be truly sick, to have a headache behind his eyes and for his limbs to feel weighted. But he wasn't letting it stop him. He was going to give out these cloaks he made before it got even worse. So he wandered the tower, handing out a cloak to anyone who seemed as if they could need one, or anyone who asked.
There were ten of them in his arms, varying colors. All of them were hooded, and about medium-length. They would be large on a child and a little short on someone taller like him, but they would do either way. So even with the occasional cough and sniffle, or the stop to sneeze (not into the cloaks, thankfully) every now and then, perhaps it was worth the risk of being sick for a chance to get a little warmer.

"Yup. So, since, according to the story, Jesus was born on December 25th, some people celebrate it for that reason. Although..again, I'm not sure whether Jesus's story is true in my universe, or, if it is, how much of it is.
Of course, there are quite a few other myths and stories that explain why we celebrate Christmas, but those are the two main ones."
Tohko could pull out all the different stories that explained the holiday, but it would take quite awhile, and she wasn't sure he wanted to hear every single story that explained it.
no subject
"So, many people celebrate Christmas?"
no subject
She nodded her head.
"In my universe, they do! Of course, some people celebrate different winter holidays, and the dates are sometimes different, thanks to the many stories that have winter holidays. But Christmas is a very popular holiday, and it's celebrated by most everyone."
no subject
Enoch makes his way to one of the tables and sits down, somewhere with an angle to see the stairs from, that's the fastest way to see who needs a cloak.
no subject
Tohko nodded and sat down next to him.
"Although..it's funny that you should say it's the turning tide. There's a winter holiday called Yalda. It's an Iranian festival celebrating the victory of light and good over darkness and evil."

"Oh, I'm not saying that winter is evil! It's just the story behind the holiday. Winter has a few disadvantages, but it has a lot of good things that spring doesn't. The two have advantages and disadvantages. It's all up to personal preference and stories whether one thinks that one is evil or not."

no subject
"I know..I suppose I'm just trying to explain that I enjoy the story and the holiday, even if I know that Winter isn't a wholly bad thing. I'm sure that the people who celebrate it realize it nowadays as well, but keep on celebrating it because they like the stories and the festivals."
no subject
Like Armaros had. They'd been planning it, when...
...it felt like so long ago, the longest half-year he'd ever experienced. Enoch lay his head on the table, as if tired.
no subject
"For the sake of celebrating, for the sake of being together, for something to look forward to in dark times."
Tohko watched as Enoch lay his head on the table, looking concerned and a bit..apologetic.
"Hey..if you're tired and not feeling well, you should really get some rest. And if I bought up any bad memories, I apologize."
no subject
"I only need a moment."
no subject
Tohko nodded, but that look on her face didn't vanish. "..Alright then. But I'm here if you need to talk."
no subject
"Wake me if you see a monster. That's all I ask."
Chances are he wouldn't actually be asleep for a good chunk of time, but there was always the possibility of actually falling asleep while thinking behind those closed eyelids.
no subject
"Don't worry, I will."
..Knowing Tohko, she'd probably just try to fight off any monsters that appeared herself. However, she stayed quiet after that, looking at the bookshelves and trying not to rouse Enoch.
