[ Chitoge's never really been a social butterfly at parties. Granted, the ones she's used to are a fair bit more on the hoity-toity side — sumptuous galas with decadent hors d'oeuvres, where everyone and their mother is dressed to the nines (on the mafia's dime, of course). By comparison, tonight's holiday get-together seems decisively low-key; a festive little shindig with plenty of hot cocoa and decorated gingerbread cookies to go around. A couple of logs burning in the fireplace, carols on the speakers, It's A Wonderful Life muted on the flat-screen. An excuse for everyone in the room to whip out the most ludicrous sweater they could pull from the back of their closets.
It's...well, it's cozy. You won't hear a "bah-humbug" from Chitoge's lips, at least; she's all for letting everyone rock around the Christmas tree in a new old-fashioned way (whatever the heck that means). She's even done her best to look the part, with her own utterly horrendous pullover, fresh off the back of a rack at Kohl's. It's a bit of a change of pace, getting to see everyone mingling and giggling under the red and green string lights...
Still, for all the warmth and holiday cheer in the room, Chitoge seems pretty content to enjoy it from a distance. She doesn't seem uncomfortable, really, but it's a bit of a lonely sight to catch the stray blonde parked under the stockings by the chimney. As boisterous as she can be, she's a textbook wallflower at the end of the day, but she at least seems content to take slow sips from a mug very-much-overfilled with whipped cream and marshmallows.
Maybe she's just keeping a watchful eye over it. You never know when you might encounter a chocolate thief, after all. ]
