No Worries on Christmas
Kohana: I bet you thought you were getting away from drama today.
Asher: For once, yeah, I thought I was.
Kohana: Kaida creates it wherever she goes, though. I can never relax too long or assume too much with her around.
Asher: I can see that. But this is a different kind of drama, and I don’t really mind.
Kohana: I’m glad you were here to help, really I am. You always seem to know the right thing to say to Kaida…You don’t let her get too dramatic, but you… never seem critical either, like I do…….Um…. Asher?
Asher: Yeah?
Kohana: What I said before, about going more slowly…. I did mean it...
Asher: Yeah, I figured.
Kohana: I can’t imagine what you must be thinking of me. You must think I am silly and indecisive and contrary and…
Asher: That’s not what I think – not at all. Like I said, we can take our time, go as slow as you need to. It’s okay, I promise.
Kohana: I know you mean that. I’m learning I shouldn’t doubt what you’ve promised.
Asher: Yeah? Well that’s a big step in the right direction.
Kohana: Yes, maybe it is at that.
Asher: Now… tell me what else is wrong. You still have that worried look, even though everything with Kenzo checked out okay. You shouldn’t worry, it’s Christmas. Shouldn’t have a care in the world on Christmas.
Kohana: Well it’s only a little worry – and silly, really.
Asher: Any worry is too much worry today – what’s wrong?
Kohana: I was worried that….you would think… because of what I said…that… I didn’t want you to kiss me anymore….
Asher: Then let me see if I can erase that last little worry for you right now.
Asher: That is to get rid of your little worry today…
Asher: and this …
Asher: ….is to keep it away.
Asher: Merry Christmas, Kohana.
Kohana: Merry Christmas, Asher.
