004: [ video ]

[ he frowns into the camera ] This doesn't make any sense. Why would you want to let a fat man carrying a bag of toys into your house in the middle of the night after the sirens have gone off? Wouldn't that just ruin the darkness protection on your house?

Oh, and why do you call it Christmas? Can't it just be a winter festival?

[ because other then the creepy fat man in red and the constant badgering to spend his money, Christmas didn't really sound like a bad holiday. He liked gifts! He liked giving gifts. He just didn't see why this Christ fellow had be dragged into it as well. Honestly, it almost sounded like something straight out of a horror book, or will be by the time Oz is through dissecting it. ]

[ he's so trusting ]

You can make it happen, Gil. I have faith in you!

I haven't agreed to it yet!

[But he and Oz both know that in truth, he has.]

[ he wibbles ]

But, you said we could have a tree...

A much smaller one!

[Don't use that voice on him, he can't handle it.]

[ his face droops ]

Oh, well... I suppose that would work better, right Gilbert? [ and not to mention, they probably don't have enough decorations as it is. ]

[A compliant Oz is a dangerous Oz.]

You've changed your mind that easily? [OR IS THIS A TRICK.]

[ he frowned ] But you just said we couldn't get it in the house.

Then you should tell me to remove a wall or something to make it work.

[Make him work for it!]

But...

Aren't you busy enough already? [ because, you know, he doesn't want to make Gil work any harder for it or anything. n o p e ]

I am - but...

[But the Christmas season, as he's learned, can be a beautiful thing. At least, to someone like Oz it would be beautiful.]

I'll get the biggest one that I can manage.

[ he gasps! ]

You're gonna get a thirty foot tree?! Gil, you're the best! [ now be glad Gil caved. ]

[...He's doomed himself.

Gil will just be over here groaning into his hands. And silently trying to figure out how he can just make this happen.]

[ there, there. Just think of all the firewood they'll have once Christmas is over. Enough to last three years! ]

Just...don't get your hopes up.

[Glaring at the camera again.]

But let me know when you have a free moment and we can go shopping for gifts together.

[ oh, he has no hopes at all for Gilbert's magical abilities of always pulling through for him.

n o p e, none. whatsoever.

HAH ]

Okay! I'm free tomorrow, and I need to pick something out for Ciel as well... [ ~~Like a unicycle with training wheels~~ ]

Right, it's his birthday soon.

[In their world this would be his coming of age ceremony, but Gilbert leaves that part of it out. The last thing that Oz needs to think about right now are ceremonies.]

He's always been hard to shop for. [Pause.] Is there anything that you want?

[ awww... but it's only the ceremonies that's in honor of Oz that tend to go wrong. At least, so far. ]

A bicycle! I want to get him a bike!

[ because after Ciel's famous faceplant, he really, truly needs one. ]

[He cringes involuntarily.]

Huh?! Are you sure that would be a good idea?!

[He's tiny and fragile!]

We'll put on training wheels.

[ a regular old tricycle ]

Won't that offend him...?

[This is a really bad idea. Which means it's perfect.]

Why? Aren't you supposed to use them if you've never been on a bike?

[ so perfect ]

He's going to be an adult! Wouldn't it embarrass him to start learning something like that now?

[He's sensitive to that sort of thing!]

[ Oz blinks and then he grins ]

Do you know how to ride a bike?

[Brief...hesitation...]

Of course I do.

Then you can show him how it's done!

[ and if Gil does it in private, no one need ever feel embarrassed, right?

Until Oz takes a video of it. ]
