He's late, of course--he had to help clean up the Shrine after the celebrations, and he'd had other company to entertain as well--but he saved Raizel a piece of chocolate cake, so he hoped that counted for something. "Happy New Year, Rai!"
Her eyes quickly sparked at the slice of cake given to her. ”Aw, is this really for me? Thank you!! I would give you something too for the New Year but I don’t think you’d like shot glasses. Oh! How about your first hug for the New Year?” She didn’t really wait for a response and decided to hop over and hug him anyways.
