cafeteria | mid afternoon | wednesday | 25 november

Apparently, there was a holiday tomorrow. From what Jonas had gathered from the books he'd read, it revolved around a lot of food, togetherness and was descended from a shared meal by two very different groups long ago.

Needless to say, Jonas had never celebrated Thanksgiving in the Community. Besides ceremonies for Days of Birth, nothing had really been celebrated so Jonas found these specially singled out days as half a curiosity and half enjoyment.

And, while today wasn't the holiday, Jonas found himself in the cafeteria, idly picking at his food (mashed potatoes had a very strange texture) and paging through a book on various holidays. Christmas would, undoubtedly, be the next thing he looked up that. That holiday just seemed...complicated.

[open, sure!]

Jonas furrowed his brow, slowly thinking through that before shaking his head, giving up. He decided that he'd start thinking about higher level things like other planets, time travel and things like that later.

"Would you have planned something like this if you could?" Jonas wondered. "Most of your family in one place, I mean."

"Why not?" Leto replied lightly. "I would make adjusting much easier, after all."

Also, before coming to Fandom, he had never been without Ghanima.

"It would," he agreed with a nod. "I was just curious. For instance, I probably wouldn't want my family to arrive here. It would mean things were...bad back home. But, I suppose planning something like that would depend on where one comes from."

"Would it have to mean that?" Leto asked. "I'm assuming things aren't too bad at home, and that my sister and my stepmother are here because they wanted a change of scenery."

He had a feeling he would sense if something had gone quite wrong at home.

[and now I have to go!]

"For me, it probably would," he said sadly, averting his eyes for a minute. "I suppose there's always a possibility that things could change but I don't see it happening. So, if my parents arrived here, I'd be worried."

[See you later!]
