Van Airtia? I like it, yeah! I mean. Assuming the others are okay with that name. What if the ship might already have one?
[If it did, renaming it might be better in some attempt in covering their tracks though. Still, he is used to that sort of thing, as odd as that might seem for a boy his age. To be a pirate and aspire to have his own Wanted poster and all.]

Eizen was the one who suggested it when we started talking about getting a ship.
[Part of the reason Velvet was going with the name now, and the other because she's terrible at naming things herself.]
We'll rename it. [Obviously.] The one Eizen had his eye on even looks kind of like the Van Eltia.

Oh. Yeah, I could see him suggesting something like that. It fits.
[Though he does pause then, the air around them seeming to light up when she mentioned that. That this ship even looks like their old one back home. Some might say they were supposed to have that ship all along or something, right? Because of that right there. Phi is just nostalgic and eager to finally do this after sort of idly planning for a while now.]
Really? It does?

He was a huge nerd but I certainly won't come up with anything better.
[She supposes that it could have been a worse name - something from ancient history and she would have to sit through one of his little lectures unless he was stopped. Though she won't admit that it would be nice to be able to hear one again right about now.]
It has a similar shape and red sails. I'll take you to see it before we attack it.

If it fits, there's no reason to change it. I like it.
[Still, it would do for now. Unless or until they came up with something else, if they preferred a different name in time. Laphicet gives a nod, agreeing and eager, curious to see the ship himself.]
Alright! Ah, that won't seem suspicious, would it?

Since no one else is here to help us, they don't get to complain about the name.
[Even though Velvet knows that it technically isn't their fault they aren't here. A shake of her head.]
No, there are a lot of different kind of ships and people coming and going all the time. We'll fit right in.

[Baby malak is getting a note from Edna!
"I don't know everything about being a malak--I'm not that old--but consider this a coupon to get me to tell you about how things work with us."
He also gets a book of adventure stories, because that seems like a thing baby malaks might like?? She's bad at this.]

I guess that's fair. But you're right. If there's a crowd, we might be alright.
[Velvet herself kind of stands out, and more so if she seems to be talking to air if others cannot see Laphicet, but still. They could manage. No point worrying too much anyway, unless something did happen when they went out to see the boat.]

[It's the night before Christmas and a man in red has come to Laphi's residence bearing gifts! It's rather late at night, when people should be asleep when he does this though, as he's not supposed to get caught. He'll leave a present, already wrapped up by the previous donators, with a tag included saying "From Santa".
His gift is a stuffed animal, a blue and white sweater and an "educational" (smutty) book, courtesy of Hunk, Mrs. Bradley and Milla Maxwell.
With his his task complete, he'll soon disappear into the night...
OOC: If you do not want Laphicet to have the questionable book, you can replace it with a toy boat.]

[Merry Santamas, Phi! Asbel's sending a fluffy blue scarf and a box of mabo curry buns for him to share with his friends.]
[Waiting for Laphicet on his doorstep is a box of homemade cookies and with a note.]
Merry Christmas Laphicet,
May your holiday be merry and bright.
With love,
Alice Liddell

Waiting for Laphicet come Christmas morning is a bag of cookies and incredibly warm and fuzzy white mittens with a matching scarf. Attached is a simple note:]
Happy holidays!
Love Usagi
Happy holidays!

[One day Phi will wake up and see a few wrapped presents, first is a set of blank journals that he can write in. Next is a brand new compass that's far smaller than the ones they know back home. The last gift is actually four books - two adventures and two history books (ones about this world, of course).
All of them are signed: From Velvet and on the same day they will be having mabo curry as their main dish as well.]

[ Laphicet is getting spoiled with christmas cookies, christmas brownies and a familiarly designed white, blue and yellow scarf, like his default outfit, that is paired with Velvet's own.
There's also an additional gift from Sorey and Mikleo both, a copy of the Celestial Record to have as his own. There's comments and remarks from both nerds here and there when it comes to some details concerning the ruins etc. They.. got a little too excited when making the copy. ]

[A little late, but it's the thought that counts, right? Sync decides on getting Phi some sweets, along with one of Gale's old scales, polished up so it shines bright. He leaves them at Phi's home, with a note]
Sorry it's a little late, but I got you something for this whole holiday thing going. Try not to eat the sweets all at once, Velvet will kill me.
Sync.

[ At some point, within a day or so after they talk about it, a stuffed animal — a nice fluffy teddy bear with a blue ribbon tied neatly around its neck — is left sitting at the door of Laphicet's residence. There's just a simple note on it, written in neat handwriting that says: "For Laphicet." ]
'Christmas' present. In time for... other-calendar Christmas.

Suzaku isn't sure what are all the things that Laphicet likes, not really, but with the knowledge that he likes petting the cat, he came with the thought of sending over a soft throw blanket and matching pillow for those long winter nights. Pirate ships or couch, they should be nice, right?
Phi, have you thought about what day you want to celebrate your birthday and where to go? There's only a month and a half until spring starts.
[It's been a busy week - Zaveid was working as many hours as Eikichi needed him at the spa. It's not like he had the same needs as any of the human employees, after all. Not that he enjoyed working that many hours, but it was to help a friend who was clearly in dire need.
Phi had returned home and lived more of his life while Zaveid was away. Enough of it that as much as Zaveid missed the kid, the idea of dealing with any emotional topics that might come up in their reunion after a long day of hard work was unappealing. However, today is his first day off since he started working again and thus is the perfect opportunity to catch up with him.
On the way, Zaveid stops past From the Hearth and grabs some mabo curry to go as a gift to make up for not seeing him the day he arrived. A quick bit of reading the wind and some windstepping, and he's standing in front of Phi with a big grin on his face.]
Thought I'd find you here.
[Said as though Phi wasn't aware of how he found him.]

Wh -- Zaveid?! You're back!
[The air around them brightens, almost blindingly so, amid some sparks of excitement as Laphicet hears and sees the familiar face again. For the first time in a while. He can't help but to launch himself at the other. Probably for the best that he's still tinier. He doesn't even seem to mind the shirtlessness, for once.
Instead, he's just grinning, all the more when he then pauses upon getting closer, at that familiar scent from the food.]
You made curry too?!
