"Nah." she shakes her head at Rhett before offering a grin.

"Come on."

She grab his arm and pull him away where there was more space.

It was just a dance. You can dance with anyone.

Even if she still doubted Josh would listen to Lucien, she'd deal with it when it would happen.

Rhett follows after her, laughing slightly at Lucien's statement, before smiling back at Jan Di.

"I uh... didn't expect that. Though I guess maybe I should've. Sorry, I should've told you to open it later."

He says sheepishly.

When it was just Evelyn and Lucien, she looked over at the towering Frenchman, and for just a moment, he might be able to see a crack in her smile.

"That was close," she said, going to organize everything on the table again, her gaze obviously focused.

"Too close."

Ah, young hearts. It's concerning, though, and as Lucien watches Rhett and Jan Di go off to dance his own smile fades a little.

"They're not usually like that. So tense, I mean."

If she wants, he'll help her organise the table!

She hesitated a moment but then let him, giving a little shrug.

"Christmas is supposed to be a happy time, but it seems it rarely is. There's usually tension. It's okay, though."

She grabbed another one of her cookies and went to hand it to the senior agent.

"It's hard to be angry when you have cookies."

"I guess." she says with a shrug, her movements effortless and graceful.

"But was I supposed to never wear it? Someone was gonna ask about it anyway and the same thing probably would have happened, you know."

A beat.

"An interesting gift if you were trying to stay out of trouble."

Rhett's eyebrows lift, even as Jan Di's movements put his own to shame. Though at least he's not embarrassing himself.

"Well... I like a little trouble. I just didn't plan on making any tonight, that's all."

He smiles at her.

"I don't always get to spend Christmas Eve with you."

"That's one way to look at it."

Cookies, the apparent solution to all life's problems! The very notion is quite amusing, though he couldn't help a look of concern as she described Christmas as "rarely happy". What is Evie escaping by being here? Or did she mean something else? He takes the offered cookie with a grin and eats it in one big bite.

"These really are good. Thanks for bringing them."

He didn't ask, so she didn't share. Instead, she went back to humming a happy holiday tune, everything finally organized once more. Stepping away from her cookies, she went to pour herself a drink, figuring that it would be better than trying to eat something and finding that she couldn't. Her stomach was knotted with the tension.

"Oh, absolutely," she said, waving off his gratitude with a brilliant sort of smile. "I love to bake, and its nice that other people are enjoying my cookies and not just my Podmates."

"Yeah well, that's what happens when you have parents." she winks.

"That's true."

He laughs.

"But I have to say, I like my time with you a lot better."

"Yeah, me too." she smiles.

"But uh. What's this about you like trouble?" she raises a brow.

"Well, like you said, he would've seen it at some point, since I'd hope you'd wear it eventually."

He keeps watching her face as he dances along.

"I knew he wouldn't like it, but I didn't want to seem like I'm sneaking around behind his back. Everything I do with you while you're figuring things out is going to be up front and honest."

"I get you." she nods, her expression a bit neutral as she thinks it over.

She's doing her best not to be...down about it.

"I don't like what it's doing to us, though."

"It's a lot more complicated than it used to be, that's for sure."

Rhett nods along.

"Things are harder than they used to be."

"They won't be going back to the same place." she says, not even asking. She could already feel it and it was making her frown.

So much for trying to not depress herself.

Rhett finds himself agreeing again, though not verbally this time.

Sometimes, he wasn't sure he should have said anything in the first place.

"...it'll all work out, Jan Di. It might not seem that way now, but it will."

"The only way it'll work out in a way I accept is if the three of us are still together in the end." she says, looking up at Rhett with a serious stare.

"I know."

He smiles a little more, seemingly pleased with that reply.

"I wouldn't expect anything else from you."

"You could make a lot of money selling these!"

Well, a decent amount. But people would almost certainly be willing to pay for Evie's baked goods, especially when she's so nice!

"I can cook pretty well, but I've never baked anything. How long have you been doing it?"

Josh comes back in with a few wrapped packages! He looks for people as they aren't where he left them!

When Jan Di notices Josh, she'd glance at Rhett then nod towards him.

"He's back, we should go over there." she suggests.

"....sure."

He nods, before heading over to Josh.

It was such a short dance....

"Hey!" She said as Josh came back, smiling and waving to him. "I have more cookies!"

Then, she looked at Lucien. He had spoken to her, after all.

"I used to bake when I was younger. I'd experiment so I had something sweet when Mom and Dad came home from work. Nothing too extravagant. But I have been baking since I could reach everything."

"No thanks, I'm full." He tries looking around her for the others! He sees Lucien and tosses a bag his way!
