WALKING IN A WINTER WONDERLAND / private

[peridot.]

It was Nines' first Christmas, and honestly he was sort of confused by all of the traditions and everything of both Christmas and Hanukkah. Hank and Connor had been trying their best to teach him, but he'd still been having some issues really grasping why these holidays were so huge and celebrated. Still, he had enjoyed the gifts that Connor and Hank had gotten him - Hank had gotten him a butterfly pocket knife to fiddle around with, in the same vein as Connor's coin, and Connor had gotten him some new casual clothing. Still, Nines had figured it would be sort of mean-spirited not to go to the party that the DPD threw, and Connor had said that he shouldn't wear his uniform to the party, since it was meant to be casual, but nice. So, Nines had decided to just take off his jacket and wear his usual black turtleneck and jeans. As Connor and Hank went off to talk to others, Nines immediately decided to head for where Gavin was, seeking the sense of familiarity that the other brought. Walking over to the table, Nines said softly as he looked Gavin over, "Oh, detective Reed. You look very nice."
