Once upon a time it had been easy to get Christmas done. It had been simple just to get the lights up and get this done and that done, but somehow the simple life had slipped away and the calendar had decided to go into warp speed. Caelian wasn’t sure what to blame, but she had a funny feeling that Daylight Savings time had SOMETHING to do with it.
Either that or she was very ill and was blacking out for days at a time, which she wasn’t quite sure was the truth either. Maybe she was just getting bad at organizing her time…but look at what had happened. Now Christmas was mere days away and she still had to get most of Millicent’s gifts.
Of course…'most' clearly meant 'all of them' in this situation.
She had a plan though, and she was quite sure it was a sound one. Tonight, while Millie (hopefully), slept, she was out patrolling the streets near the shopping district to see if she could find any good toys or deals to get her almost teenage daughter, and then tomorrow…tomorrow she would shop until she dropped.
Of course things were going wonderfully, at least until she felt another knight nearby and got completely distracted, heading over in the direction of the energy signature with her curiosity overtaking her need to shop.
Oh! It was one she didn’t know. And he was rather good looking. Well.
Caelian stared for a good few seconds, then gave a very stupid little smile. “Uh. Hello. I’m Caelian. Who are you?”
So suave.

The aura of another squire caught Alfheim of guard which meant he was clearly doing an awesome job of patrolling and stuff and being alert and whatnot.
He hadn't meant to wander in the shopping district, but the sights and sounds of the Christmas season managed to spark some curiosity in his night time wanderings which led to just aimless floating around. When ad executives sat around trying to think up a formula for snagging the attention of the thoughtless and easily manipulated, he apparently made an excellent target.
"Oh!" He jumped and cleared his throat and as if waking up suddenly started wondering why he was even here in the first place. Other than a few gift cards, he wasn't really doing the whole holiday thing this year what with being estranged from his family and generally not having anything to offer any guests besides a really awesome meal. Shopping deals and wandering around glancing at window displays was a frivolous action he didn't want to cop to. So when the Venus knight introduced himself, fidgeted and ran his fingers through his hair and tried to get enough of a grip to give her a passive shrug.
Oh ho ho yes, he was also very suave.
"Hello. I'm Alfheim, squire of Earth," He said, holding out a hand in greeting. "And you're uh...very. Pink."

“Oh! Well, thanks?” Was that a good thing? Being pink? She did another quick scan of the earth squire, giving a slight nod of approval? “That’s uh…a nice jug you have there? I guess that’s your weapon? That’s cool, I guess…?”
Her eyes flicked down his form again and she looked away quickly. It just wasn’t right to keep staring. Even if he was quite attractive. And she liked his hair. And kind of wanted to just flop it around. Awkward.
“So! What are you doing out here tonight? Window shopping as well? It’s so hard to think about Christmas being in just a few days…IT came up so quickly. And this winter…it’s been so kind of mild so far, not that I’m complaining…I hate patrolling in winter time…my outfit might look pretty…but it’s so cold. Too cold.”
She was rambling. And it wasn’t even a good kind of ramble. Oh jeeze. Why couldn’t she just sink into the ground now. Not cool. Not cool at all.

Okay Alfheim may have had an issue. He didn't like to think his mind was perpetually in the gutter. No, certainly not. He wasn't a party girl like certain other members of his family and he wasn't a pervert, he was a respectable yo-- increasingly less young-- man and he was definitely not thinking about her jugs when she complimented his jug.
Which meant this totally didn't get awkward when his face twisted like a frog-deer in some headlights until his brain caught up to speed.
"O-oh!" He turned and looked at the bottle on his belt and rubbed the back of his head as his face flushed and a stupid, embarrassed grin made it's way to his face.
"Thanks. It's kind of a lame weapon but the magic has it's uses."
He cleared his throat as if that was going to alleviate the awkward.
"It could be worse. Some of those senshi... yeah... whoo." He heaved his shoulder in a sigh and mentally gave thanks that his tunic, awkward as it was with armor there to highlight and protect nonexistent girly curves, was at least warm in the winter and could breathe in the summer.
"Oh, er," She was complaining, right? Something deep in his male instincts told him, even if inaccurately, that meant he was supposed to be doing something about it. So without logic or forethought he powered down and shed his heavy jacket, offering it out like some pitiful peace offering. "you can have this, if you'd like?"
And even that came out sheepish.

Caelian blinked, giving a little laugh and seeming half flattered, half amused at how awkward this guy was being. It almost made it terribly easy to just be awkward and bashful herself. “Yeah…some of the senshi have some strange powers…but at least it looks like you can hit people pretty good with your jug…all I have is my puff, and really, that’s not good for anything. I wish I had gotten something a bit better…or tougher.”
When he powered himself down she blinked rapidly. Did that really just happen? But they had just met? How strange!
And when he gave her his coat. Well. That pretty much sealed the deal that this guy was too good to be true. She took it and draped it over her shoulders, giving a little smile. “Well, thank you…I uh…”
Did he want her to power down too? Or was that just her assuming? Was this going somewhere that she didn’t understand or what was even going on?
“It’s warm.” Brilliant. She was so brilliant, it just hurt.

"You're wearing a puffy pink dress, I don't think tougher was in the cards," Noah laughed.
And the fact he was Noah and not Alfheim hadn't seemed to register with him. He suffered from a perpetual optimism that anyone with an Order signature could be his ally, and he didn't feel like his identity was anything in particular he needed to protect. He was protective of his business and his family, but the fact he was secretly Noah Connolly under all the elfy attire?
Not really.
This was an especially stupid assumption considering he'd been attacked by a knight already.
"What were you planning on doing if you found something you wanted to buy?" He finally thought to ask. Although obviously powering down was an option, as he'd obviously just proven, he was clearly picturing a poofy Venus knight flouncing into a toy store to make a purchase.
