Errand May All Your Baubles Be Bright Finished

Citrus, huh. Not bad. He would store away the name mentally, but that did not mean he was going to stop using the ones he created for Cirrus already. The other would just need to learn that not everything in life went as you wanted, unless you were Aodhan. Then the universe was apparently obligated to bend to your every will. He was about to dispel his bready companion's ignorance on this topic, until his brain chose to actually catch up with the conversation. It most definitely lagged because of the other's accent, which was assaulting a rather dusty corner of his mind. Gekko. They had mentioned Gekko, didn't they? This kid was friends with Gekko? Instantly, the thought caused him to feel torn. On one hand, it was great she was making new friends around the castle. In their first few letters to each other, she had mentioned not knowing many people her own age. It was even possible Aodhan was her "first" friend, which to some, would be a highly concerning idea. On the other hand, what kind of weirdo was Cirrus to be friends with Gekko? It caused him to give Cirrus's outfit another look over, completely and shamelessly judging the chosen attire. Nice shirt aside... Yes, those two being friends made sense. "If you know someone like Geek-o, I'm going to assume you're funny. Stand proud! She has indirectly given you my stamp of approval. Tell her to also give you a crash course on how my nicknames for people work, okay?" As for when the blonde girl was kind enough to begin teaching him, Aodhan surprisingly gave her his undivided attention. Following along with his own paper wasn't even that difficult, even with the poor example she used. The gryffindor used his imagination to fill in the gaps, and squinted in hopes of improving what little detail he could already see. However, he stopped towards the end of their impromptu teaching session, gazing curiously at her and her finished product. For a second, he took note of her sheepish mannerisms, and figured that a more positive response is exactly what she needed at that moment. He wasn't completely oblivious to others after all. He simply didn't find it entertaining enough to cater to them, usually. But getting onto Santa's nice list required an approach different from his usual. "Nah, that wasn't rubbish. Liv's would b—I mean, you did, uh, good!" he chirped with a bright smile. Then, the young wizard stretched out and grabbed the scissors she had put down earlier, "I'm just going to add some flare to them. Watch this." He'd stopped directly mimicking the girl once she had begun adding more depth to the star, meaning his was completely flat in comparison. The boy momentarily hummed in thought, dangerously waving the scissors around with a single hand until finally, he started cutting out the corners of the star. Making a hole in the center was somewhat ambitious for the time being, because even he could be reasonable, so just carving the ends himself was the next best option. However, the entire thing was messy and crooked, having been done with his unreliable memory and subpar crafting skills. Thankfully, it was shaped just enough for the object to be recognizable. Once he finished, Aodhan lifted his project up into the air, grinning triumphantly. "Voila!" he shouted, moving his gaze between all three of the other students, "The Ninja Star 3000, fresh off the market. Do not let its size fool you! With just a little creativity, this is still an extremely deadly weapon, one that can no doubt bring much needed excitement to any holiday gathering. Behold!" Almost immediately, he threw the star directly towards Liv's face, uncaring of whether it hit its mark. All he knew was that he didn't miss the other's earlier comment on Aodhan being untrustworthy. Not that it was incorrect or anything! But he couldn't just let people run around making such bold statements without some kind of repercussion. He laughed maniacally as he went on to repeat the process over again (minus the throwing), moving slowly but with more confidence than when Miss Sarcasm was first going over the steps. A couple of minutes had passed before he finally created a miniature batch, roughly a dozen of "ninja" stars with varying levels of improving quality. He pocketed about half of them and shoved the rest towards the sarcastic girl. "Take these as a thank-you. You can use Liv as target practice, y'know, to show him how to Liv-it-up," he explained happily, quickly rising from his seat and adjusting his elf ears. Sure, he had gotten side tracked, but he figured providing someone else with potential decorations was a good ending for their activity. Plus, he was itching to grab as many snacks as he possibly could. So, with a wave directed to blondie one (funny version), blondie two (angry version), and bread boy, Aodhan quickly made his way over to the snack table. He could be seen being an absolute terror, shoving cakes into his mouth, downing two lemonades, and snatching a few more cookies long before leaving the area.
