Elizabeth eventually took the plate her slice of cake was on and held it right above her lap as she started taking little nibble sized pieces to eat from the cake while she was watching what was happening around her curiously. She figured- This was what Christmas was supposed to be like for a family. For the most part, at least.<br/><br/>She was slightly surprised to simply see Aleksey's mother leave them be, and watched as his brother would leave as well, then averting her attention to Aleksey. Quickly, she shooed him to sit back again while she gathered up the plates instead, insisting that she do something other then just sit there and take up space. "No Christmas is perfect." She mused her answer, giving him a small smile.<br/><br/>"But that doesn't mean it's not enjoyable." At the question she gave Aleksey a look as if he was crazy, sighing and giving a small kiss to his head as well while she cuddled up against his arm, trying not to touch his side, just in case. "Of course I do. I'd be crazy to say I didn't." Elizabeth answered quite seriously, giving a gentle little kiss to Aleksey's jaw.
