When dinner came she ate, but she ate very little, nibbling and pecking at her food lightly like a bird would, but this was usual. She very rarely ate a 'proper' portion for someone her age. Say its from how timid she was, or simply because it happened, she didn't see any difference in the way she ate, but others almost always seemed to speak about it. But just the same she shrugged it off.<br/><br/>She very nearly smiled at Aleksey's mothers statement to speak only English. She would've said it was fine, but she stayed quiet where she was, at times feeling like the odd person out, but then again that might've only been because of how nervous and uncomfortable she was with being there still. And it probably wasn't their faults, it just.. Took her a while to get used to someone, because of how timid she was. And, frankly, she'd only gotten<span style="font-style: italic">more</span>timid after the 'accident' that had happened, with the vampires, Aleksey getting shot, it'd very nearly traumatized her.<br/><br/>Elizabeth then simply blinked twice as jokes were being passed around, though by the end a smile was on her face just the same. Not really from what was going on, but rather just the idea behind it. She could remember spending those few Christmas days with her mother when she was younger. But after her death, it was rare she spent Christmas with anyone but her grandmother. Her father always just got drunk. So she spent it with her grandmother, until she died, that is.<br/><br/>And simply seeing the look on Aleksey's face had been enough to bring a smile to her own far, giggles often slipping out though she kept a hand over her mouth, the back of it against her lips at times to stiffle her laughs or giggles. And, frankly, just being there then, it was worth going there at all. It was better then spending Christmas alone. If anything, she'd probably just be visiting graves.
