Clint had slept just fine. He had an odd dream though but he still slept until his alarm went off in the morning. Immediately, Clint went through his routine of showering, getting dressed for work, tossing his clothes in the laundry basket and heading to the kitchen to make breakfast. On his way there, as was habit, he stopped at Maddie's room first and looked inside. "Oh, you're awake. Did you get any sleep last night?" He asked her.

The dishes were washed and set on the rack to dry. Kaneko took out the ones that were already dry and proceeded to put them away in the cabinets. She had everything organized for easier access. Cups went in one place. Plates and bowls in another but on different shelves. Cutlery was stored in a drawer with a sectioned box inside where she put the spoons in one spot, forks in another and knives in the other. Everything was put away with much thought behind it. She didn't want them just lying around, someone could get hurt if they weren't careful. Drying her hands, her singing ceased and she looked towards the fire which was running a little low so she went and tossed another log in it then looked off toward the direction of their room again. It had been very quiet but she thought she had heard something. Maybe her mind was playing tricks on her. "Allen? Are you awake?" She called out nervously.

Clint was glad that she had walked away after saying she had enjoyed the movie. If she had stayed behind, he'd probably start rambling about it and she didn't need to deal with that. "Goodnight Mads." He said quietly. Clint made his way to the living room and cleaned up, washed the dishes, washed and dried his hands then started to turn off the lights and check that the front door was locked. The movie was put back in its case, TV turned off and he headed off to his room to sleep.

Wrapping gifts wasn't exactly easy, it took time and much care to make sure you didn't wrap it crooked or that you cut too much paper or not enough. Everything had to be precise. Any extra paper, was cut off and tossed into the fire as fuel. The house was silent except for her singing and the crackling of the small fire. Taking a break, Kaneko walked to the room and smiled seeing that he was sleeping. She didn't want to wake him, so she gathered the empty dishes and took them with her to the kitchen sink to wash them carefully.

Clint looked at her, it was pretty late now wasn't it? He just hadn't noticed how late it was, he had been too focused on the movie to notice the time. "Of course, let me know what you think of the ending." He said with a smile. Maddie then told him she hoped they got more sleep and he laughed softly, reaching out and ruffling her hair. "Yeah, I hope so too Mads. We really need it." Him especially. He coudln't just fall to sleep at work, that wasn't very safe.

Kaneko sang quietly to herself, making sure to keep her voice soft in case Allen did fall to sleep. She went to work, measuring how much paper she'd need and then cut it carefully with the scissors. Wrapping the gifts carefully, one by one they were set off to the side once she added the tag and bow on each one. Then she carried them to the small tree, setting them down underneath.
