Well, I'm flattered to hear that much. [he's always appreciated how frank Tseng is. curt but not uncaring.] Of course.

[lacing his fingers together lightly, he considers what order to actually tell them in. chronological enough, he supposes.]

Then, to start with the current one, Kleinmas is a holiday that developed out of a handful of facts in the Water Territory. Namely, it happens around the time that the Holy Ark was said to be sent down with God's children, and it coincides with the time when rivers freeze. So, we began using the time spent repairing boats as a way to share our harvests and thanks among each other. It also coincides with our wintertime ceremonies, but that's more of a celebration than anything else.

Soon after, there's the celebration of the new year, which is mostly celebrated as a sort of festival, with a fireworks showing during the night.

[he pauses here then, both to give him time to digest and to ask any questions he may have right now.]
