[ nods & nuzzles at nathan's hair with even more excitement. ]

Ja! It is right! Very good!

[ shakes his head in amusement. ]

I've still got a long way to go.

[ gives another nuzzle. ]

But Nathan do good. A lot good, in small time.

[ grunts a little, face going into his chest again. ]

I blame he who must not be named.

[ peers down at him curiously. ]

Blame? Not bad, but blame?

He was made to be smart. Since I'm technically him, I was made to be smart, too. [ pauses, shifting to relax further into caleb's hold. ] Guess it worked. But I wanna be a genius on my own, damnit.

[ plants another kiss on top of nathan's head, pausing briefly as he considers the words. gives himself a few minutes so that he doesn't start babbling with his kneejerk response, collecting his thoughts. ]

Nathan is not smart because of. . . [ pauses again. ] He no name. Nathan try a lot, so is smart by himself.

[ smiles at that, giving a small shrug. ]

I hope so. I mean, I'm trying hard for you, so I don't want him to get any of the credit.

[ hugs him closer at that, as much as he's able to, grinning happily. ]

Ja! All for me, none for he no name!

[ wiggles an arm away to raise it up high, pointing a finger to the ceiling. ]

Ja, none for him! All for us!

[ mirrors the motion, unlocking his own arm to throw it up into the air. there's a bit of an awkward pause as he tries to remember a word that aaron's taught him before. ]

Sick!

[ is too blind at their excitement to properly compute what caleb said, thus he simply points at the tree. ]

And today is our day! Wir können es something-something!

[ supplies the last bit dutifully, beaming. ]

Schaffen! Wir können es schaffen!

Schaffen, yeah! [ removes his other arm from around caleb, squatting down to grab two more bulbs. stands, handing one over. ] Wir können es schaffen!

[ accepts the ornament & throws it up in the air once before clumsily catching it. yelps, but manages to catch it anyway, holding it up afterward with a victorious expression. ]

Wir werden Sieger sein!

[ even if he can barely understand that he gives him an enthusiastic thumbs up anyway. ] Yeah!

[ & then looks down at the ornament, not even thinking twice on not tossing it up in the air, instead placing it on the tree gingerly with a wide smile on his face. ]

[ reaches up as far as he can with his own ornament so that the top half of the tree is somewhat decorated as well. steps back & nods at their work. ]

Look good!

[ steps back as well after placing another ornament up, arms crossing his chest. after a pause he nods. ]

Yep, I think we found our true calling in life. Definitely made to decorate Christmas trees.

[ shakes his head, wanting to correct the last statement: ]

Decorate tree with Nathan! And Christmas with team!

Yeah, I know. [ pauses, scratching the end of his nose a little. ] Do uh. Do you think they'll like their presents?

[ droops a bit. ]

Erm. . . I hope they like present. We try a lot!

[ lifts a hand when he notices the drooping, ruffling caleb's hair. ]

Well... you're better at this kind of stuff than I am. I'm sure it'll be fine.

[ bumps that hand with his head. ]

Team like Nathan present too. Nathan try a lot with me.

Try or not, Nathan stinks at presents in general. [ grabs another bulb, lifting on the tips of his toes to hook it onto one of the higher branches. ] But at least they didn't get coal.

But coal is good for cook! Is good for Frau Hana?
