Natalie had taken a little time to cool off after talking to Ashlie before approach Shari's room. She knocks on the door and calls out, "Shari, you there?"

Natalie blinks, uncertain of how to respond for a moment. Then, she shrugs and opens the door a bit, "Are you busy? I can come back later if you are."

"No no, come in!" Shari, or what most likely is Shari, is hanging on the ceiling. Some kind of mix between a lizard and a honeyglider, maybe 4 feet tall, stringing a garland of fake greenery across the room.

"I..." She says, not seeing Shari at first and then catching the movement on the ceiling. "What are you doing?"

"You have a Christmas Ritual?" She steps into the room, taking a moment to study Shari's form more closely.

"Hmm? No no. For yours. To appease the Santa." she says, finishing to fix the other end of the green strand of plastic greenery to the wall and letting go of the ceiling, twisting right-side up as she glides to the floor and lands on all fours. "Will told me all about it."

"Appeasing the...?" She blinks, "That's not..." She seems confused and flustered at the same time.

"No, well, it's not that you're doing it wrong. Christmas is mostly an excuse for people to give gifts to each other. Parents tell kids that it's Santa that brings them presents."

"Hmm, that makes more sense." she nods. "But he still decides if they're naughty or nice, right?"

"Oh." she says, seeming almost startled. "Uhm, yeah. Sure. Did... did you tell your mum about me?" she asks as the scaled sugarglider slowly wrenches itself into the brown-skinned human shaped she's apparently decided is her default 'human' shape.

"I told her I have a girlfriend. If you mean did I tell her the whole part about being an alien, I haven't yet. I figured I would do that when you were ready."

"Yeah, that one's kinda... complicated." she says, though she seems relieved. "But I'd love to spend the Days of Christmas with you and your mum!"

"There's one catch. The Headmistress wants me to keep her updated on where you are. I don't like it and tried to talk her out of it, but she insisted."

"I mean... does she? Most humans seem to think little green people from space are some kinda crazy joke. Or that they're evil. Not that they're really wrong on that either. You know, in general."
