[Unimpressive at first glance, maybe - but Steve's not about to underestimate anyone, because he hated it when people looked at him and immediately wrote it off.

Besides, he hated being short and skinny most of the time, but every once in a while, it had its advantages. If Souji stays standing, though, he will, too.]

Oh - thanks. [It's weird, he's still a little self-conscious about living in such a nice place, sometimes, mainly because what he grew up with was absolutely not this. But what else has he got to spend his salary on, he figures.] And Christmas is - well, mainly it's a religious holiday, although it's kind of grown a lot, too. People give gifts to each other to show appreciation and love, but the holiday's really to celebrate the birth of Jesus Christ - the son of God, if you believe in Him. [Which he does, but he knows that not everyone does, and Steve's always sort of figured, to each his own.]
