Franz: One of his eyebrows lowers, "I-I've had sleepovers! Just not like, with girls! And y-you're you're like twelve, and..." Hans exclaimed, "Hey!! GEOFFREY was there!? Whoooooooaaaa, we weren't invited, not faiiirr!" "We-we wouldn't have gone ANYWAY if it was at girl's house! AND WHAT WAS HE DOING THERE?"

Mint: She tilted her head. "He didn't tell ya guys he was going to a sleepover? Weirds.." Not that Mint was any better, having not told Red and being unable to find Bridget in time to bring her along. "He was doing lotsa stuffs actually! First, he stood outside in da rain and was singing and stuff. I dink it was cause dere was a 'no boys allowed' sign and he didn't like getting wet. I remember da sign cause I almost kept my Red stuffie outside in the rain cause he is a boy. But I don't dink it mattered, cause den the real Red showed up and stuff. ANYWAY. Han's fwiend was kinda silly. He ate pie and ended up falling asleep waitin for the rain to stop. He took forevers to get up! Granted, I'mma going by elf time which is probably super duper early, but still.. He is really nice and I dink he will get invited back, probably. So he was doing lotsa stuff there." Mint finally breathed and nodded her head, certain she didn't miss any important details.

Hans: "NO Oh mein Gott!!! Although it uh, it kinda sounds like he wasn't plannin' on going, anyway!!" Franz sighed, "It sounds like most people who went weren't, I guess! Man, if we had impromptu co-ed sleepovers in Easter Village, we'd be finding ourselves like, in serious shiit, man!" He played with his utensils for a moment before looking up at Mint, "Hella, are there are a lot of rules In Christmas Town? I mean, We actually know a thing or two about Christmas," Or at least the religious aspect, he guessed. Christmas trees STILL don't make much sense to him..."But it sounds a lot different than where we're from."

Mint: She played with one of her pig tails. "I guess dere are? Like ya can't use Christmas magic for yourself, ya godda use it to help others! Dat is a rule.. Uh..what else..I follow all da rules so I don'ts tend to dink about dem..Oh! You can't act naughty or stop doing Christmas things..lotsa stuff actually counts as naughty, doe..so yeah. Other den dat, I can't think of anyding.." She kicked her feet and curled her toes. People actually got away with not following the rules of Christmas quite a lot, for a town who's whole thing was black and white morality. Naughty or nice, no neutral. Yet, lots of people were still naughty. It was really odd.

Franz: "Is there even a lot of Christmas magic? Like, besides making toys and such?" He chuckled at the thought. Like what?? Making reindeer's noises glow?? He picked up his friends' plates and stood. "I'll be riiiggght back you guys!" As he left, Hans scooted closer to Mint and rested his head in his hands. "Woooow, I bet Christmas town's super pretty, huh?? With like, snow all the time!! See, in Feststadt, it snows too, but not like thick pretty snow! It's kinda slushy." He grinned back at her. "It makes stuff pretty hard to walk through when you're short, huh?"

Mint: She laughed. Of course he was referring to how SHE was short. If Hans could see the other elves, he might realize that height had nothing to do with it. If someone as tall as Mint couldn't move very well in the the snow, half the town would be locked in their homes. She realized she should probably answer him. "Oh! Christmas is super duper pretty! Everyding is covered in lights, and the town GLOWS at night. And da snow is never super duper deep. It always is just enough to be fun, but never enough to cause thousands to go missing in the icy snow banks..." Her face became serious for a moment before she smiled again. "So no, not super hard to walk in for me!"

Hans: His eye's sparkled, "WAIT the whole thing GLOWS at night? LIKE EVERYTHING?? What!?!? Easter Village isn't that cool!!" As Franz came back and raised an eyebrow, Hans called out, way louder than socially acceptable, "THE WHOLE FREAKING TOWN GLOWS!" He looked back at Mint, "DO YOU KNOW how hard it is to paint an egg to glow!?!? A WHOLE TOWN THOUGH!" He cried, "And they always have a PERFECT amount of snow, Franzie! Never too much or too little!! IT'S PERFECT!" Franz sighed, "And so? They've got their problems too, I'm sure! Right Hella?"

Mint: "It doesn't liderally glow!" She pressed her finger with her nose. "Yeah..it still gots problem...Like uh.." She bit her lip. What were the problems? "I would assume a lots of the problems any town gots...like..uh..people can still be butts and lock ya in closets..and call you a weirdo.." Mint picked her feet and hugged her legs. "And..and..I don't thinks I wanna talk about dis stuff anymore.."

Franz: His eyebrows raised, "Aw, Hella, don't be sad! Either way, the academy's a pretty nice place to be, huh?" He gave her an quick pat on the shoulder. "Hey uh, we're sorry we took you from toymaking, speaking of which! If you want, we can walk you back to your room, okay?" Hans smiled at her, "I'm sorry Mintie!! We can help with toymaking, if you want! Uh...then again, we MIGHT just get in the way, huh!?"

"Actually, I would loves some helps! And you guys will gets to learn more about Christmas dat way!" She grinned. It was always fun to introduce more people to the art of toymaking.

Hans: "Wow are you sure!?! I wanna learn, that sounds fun!" He looked to Franz for approval. "Oh! Uh, yeah sure, that sounds kinda cool!" Hans stood up next to Franz and stretched, "What kinda toys do you guys make, anyway? Like, baskets and stuffed animals?" Franz laughed, "It's probably pretty different! Lead the way, Mint, we're following you!"

Franz/Hans: They followed Mint to her room! Hans for the most part, spent much of the time getting there quizzing her with toys; "Oh okay BUT what about jumpropes?? Like, I know jumpropes, but how would you MAKE one?? And another thing, how do you get the dolls to talk? Is that weird? To make stuff talk? AND another thing! Does Santa deliver ALL the toys in ONE go or like, does he have to take trips? AND another thing! Do your toys glow too? I bet they glow! AND ANOTHER THING, what do you DO will all the toys? Wouldn't everyone have A LOT OF toys?? AND ANOTHER THING, does EVERYONE get toys?? Even the grown-ups??"
Franz sighed and followed him. So many questions. Poor Hella!

Mint: She smiled. Now toys, that was a subject she could teach anyone about. "Braided rope, and ya knot the ends after ya slide on da handles. Ya don't make dem talk, just a voice box with a couple phrases. Not dat weird. One trip, magic bag. Only if ya want dem to glow. We give dem to good girls and boys, most grownups don't want toys. But if day want dem, then of course!" She cracked her knuckles. "Next dime, give me harder questions!"

Hans: He stood still for a moment, dumbfounded. Franz walked passed him and have him a nudge, "That's what you get, buddy! You asked!!!"
Hans caught up, "OKAY But ANOTHER THING, where do you guys get the supplies to make the toys? Are there elves who make the tools to make the toys? And then do THOSE elves need tools? Is there a WHOLE SYSTEM of elves??"
