Hello, Mr Emmet! [He laughs at the little sweater Joltik is wearing.] You seem particularly cozy today. How is the game treating you both?

[likewinning]

It is treating us verrrry well.

[ He glances over at Joltik, who puffs up with pride. ]

The Conductor is enjoying having the opportunity to wear the sweater that Da Vinci made for him again.

[retroductions]

She made him a sweater? Well, as always, he looks dashing. Putting the both of us to shame.

[Sholmes is also wearing a Christmas sweater, but it is garish and ugly and not at all fetching. (Not that he cares.)]

Still, I will not be deterred. I have a present for you, Mr Emmet. [He holds out the tiny little gift.] I have tried to deduce what is within, so it will be interesting to see if I am correct!

[likewinning]

Oh! You should try and deduce what is in here for you then as well. I have no idea.

[ He hands over the gift (+ berry), which RNG says is some novelty sunglasses before taking Sholmes's gift. ]

[retroductions]

[Emmet's gift, whenever he chooses to unwrap it, is a mood ring!

Taking the gift + berry, Sholmes delicately holds the berry in one hand, while giving the present... a shake. Clearly, this is how one deduces; like a child.]

Hm. Something lightweight, oddly shaped. My first impression is that it might be... a plastic pair of eating utensils.

[likewinning]

Hmm. What do you think, Conductor?

[ Joltik considers that for a long moment . . . before blowing raspberries and giving the joltik equivalent of a thumbs down. ]

[retroductions]

[Urk.]

Hmm... If Mr Conductor thinks that is incorrect, I am sorry to say that perhaps he is right. Let us see... [Well, chin up. Sholmes tears into his gift to unearth the novelty sunglasses.

He immediately brightens, slipping them on his face. They are so, so huge, with bright pink lenses.]

Ah, of course. How foolish of me. These are driver's spectacles.

[likewinning]

[ Emmet opens his own, then laughs softly. ]

It never fails to amaze me what ends up in these things.

[retroductions]

[Oh? He leans in. He doesn't know what a mood ring is!]

A silver ring?

[likewinning]

It is a mood ring. It tells one how they feel through colors.

[retroductions]

Oh? Future technologies are so very impressive. Will you try it on, Mr Emmet? Let us see what it declares your mood to be.

[likewinning]

Hmm. I wonder . . .

[ His voice trails off and he looks over at Joltik.

who promptly sticks one of his little legs out.

So, with a hum, Emmet puts the ring on Joltik and, after a moment, the ring declares Joltik to be a happy little guy. ]

[retroductions]

[Jokingly-]

A sweater and a mood ring. That's simply too much. We are far too overshadowed by Mr Conductor's style.

[The ring is a bright blue!]

I suspect that means he is happy?

[likewinning]

Yup. But that is no surprise.

[retroductions]

None at all. But now it is backed with scientific proof.

["scientific"]

[likewinning]

He is confirmed to be a happy little boy.

[retroductions]

I am glad it is indisputable.

Well. [Pushing up his novelty glasses.] Once again, thank you for these.

[likewinning]

Thank you as well, Mr. Sholmes. It is verrrry much appreciated.
