Christmas. To Renitra it was known as the Starlight Celebration, a fortnight long event in the Sixth Umbral Moon in the Eorzean Calender. The history of the holiday went back to the early days of the Dragonsong War, when displaced Ishgardian war orphans were left to fend for themselves in the harsh winters of the Cotheasian climate, but were rescued by temple knights who snuck them into their barracks in red jackets, due to the Temple Knights forbidding such charity. The orphans then vowed to repay this charity they had been given every Sixth Umbral Moon.
As Renitra reflected on the holidays origin, she was standing on guard beside a massive red sleigh where the Saint of Nymeria (who insisted she referred to him as Santa Claus or Father Christmas), or rather a Volunteer playing the role was sitting on, talking to children about what they want for a present. Way back when Renitra remembered doing something similar with a Saint of Nymeria back in Gridania. And one year she set about with her father, a Doman refugee to make mochi with a personalised hammer and mortar, but was a hilarious disaster due to the Carpenters Guild failing to understand the specifications that they had mapped out for the hammer and mortar. The end result was the hammer looking like a croquet mallet, and the mortar itself was more... kobold alchemy oven than round platform to pound said mochi. Needless to say the attempt to make the mochi came out a mangled pancake. It was still a speical holiday memory she held close to her heart.
Renitra was in Torensten to help with the town's Christmas celebration. To that end she was wearing her own Saint of Nyemia outfit. A Red jacket with skirt, mittens that went up to her elbows and red knee high boots, along silver tinsel and trim all over the outfit. Her job was simply to protect Santa, and when he was done, Renitra was to take the sleigh and personally deliver the presents on his behalf. What could go wrong?

"Get ready , ZEPHRON, for YUFFIE!"
The Great Ninja Yuffie!
Wow, these Zephronites were gullible dummies. 'Santa'. Like, some big fat man in a red coat would come and give you presents one day a year. Totally dumb. Everybody knew that didn't happen. That was dumb. What, did he deliver presents to Shinra too? Even though they were totally bad? Yeah, right! Everybody KNEW that the REAL person who delivered presents was the Fairy of the Holy Flame, who delivered presents to all the kids in Wutai. THAT made sense. Of course a fairy delivered presents! And she could fly around with her wings to drop them off.
Not some big fat man being flown around by reindeer. Did they think Yuffie was born yesterday to believe THAT!?
Althooooough, it was a totally different world. And better be safe than sorry. After all, what if this 'Santa' DID deliver presents and Yuffie got something totally lame because she hadn't asked for something good? That would suck. And so, she stood in the line with the other kids. Okay, so she was a bit older than most, but she didn't care. She was still pretty short and young, so she mostly blended in.
Soon, she arrived at the front, and jumped onto Santa's lap eagerly. "Okay, so I would like a Knights of the Round materia, a X4 materia, an All materia, ohhh, Neo Bahamut materia, Zero Bahamut materia, obviously, ohh, Mime materia, Double Cut materia, Enemy Skill materia, oh, and HP and MP plus materia, again, obvs. Oh, and a new shuriken!" she explained with an enthusiastic smile to the very confused Santa Claus actor. Because, well, if she DIDN'T ask for any of that she definitely wouldn't get it. So nobody could blame her for trying!

Renitra was quietly counting how many more children were waiting in line when she heard the older voice chatter excitedly about Materia. The first thing that came to mind was "An Eorzean!? Someone from my world is here?" and she looked around , causing her hair to swish to the side, and by the speed she spun around, knocked the santa hat off her head to see Yuffie Kisaragi on Father Christmas' lap. Her specific requests were unusual to Renitra. But what caught her attention was that Yuffie specifically said KNIGHTS OF THE ROUND. She had also said BAHAMUNT. Two Primals that Renitra had personal experience with. The Knights, also known as Archbishop Thordan and the Heavensward where the ones who killed her friend Haucherfaunt de Fortemps, while trying to bring a delusiuonal version of order over Ishgard and Dravania. Bahamut however... A fierce primal. The one responsible for inducing the Seventh Umbral Calamity onto Eorzea. She remembered fighting it alongside the Levinuer twins Alphinaud and Ailiese.
It took a bit of time for Renitra to calm herself. It was clear Yuffie wasn't Eorzean. but her features made her look Doman. Maybe she was Doman? At any rate, Renitra noted that Father Christmas was getting confused and stressed so she took it upon herself to defuse the situation. "Excuse me Madam." Renitra said trying to be as polite as possible. "While I'm also intrigued by your requests this year, I feel Father Christmas is confused. Its most likely that Mother Christmas handles Materia and the like." She winked to the Santa actor to clue him in. "Would it be possible for you to come down and have a word with me? I can personally see to it that Mother Christmas recieves your requests." She bowed in the traditional Doman (or Japanese/Far Eastern) style and shuffled sideways to gesture to Yuffie to come down. She just hoped Yuffie would listen

Yuffie hadn't expected anybody else to approach her, because that hadn't happened for any of the children visiting Santa, but she turned and listened. She'd make sure her request went to Mother Christmas? Well, girls kicked more butt than boys, everybody knew that, so if Father Christmas could make some gifts happen, surely Mother Christmas was even better at it! And obviously, her requests were so important, she got special treatment!
"Alright!"she cried out in excitement, jumping down and following Renitra. Yuffie returned the bow automatically, without thinking. It was a traditional Wutaian greeting after all too, and she didn't really think about it for a moment. "But don't call me 'Madam'. My name's Yuffie! Or you can call me the Single White Rose of Wutai. Ohhh, or the World's Greatest Materia Hunter. Oh, oh, or the Champion of the Earth and Sky. I like that one," she said as she followed Renitra along.
"Soooo, do I just list it all again, or do I need to write it down?" Yuffie asked. "I can give you my address if you need it to deliver 'em. I'm at the Dragonblades HQ. Although, uh, usually I'd be like, make it out to Yuffie Kisaragi: Supreme Leader of the Dragonblades but you better leave that second bit off 'cause Celes has been complaining about it," Yuffie went on as she followed Renitra.

Renitra stifled a giggle at Yuffie's introduction to herself. Especially since she claimed to be the leader of the Drabonblades. However she couldn't bring herself to lie. She had some ideas on how to tease Yuffie but again, she didn’t know her well enough to do so comfortably and thus decided to come out with it. "While It would be funny to entertain your tale Lady Yuffie, but I regret to inform you, I'VE MET Ser Caius and Lady Celes. I know you aren't the Drabonblade's leader. But it is very nice to make your acquaintance. My name is Renitra Starspear. In the world I was once in, they called me many things. The most common title they used was the WARRIOR OF LIGHT. But, enough about me. I wanted to ask you something. It was about Materia. Namely, the types you asked for."
Renitra took a breath. "To be honest, when you said Knights of the Round and Bahamut... I was triggered. I had flashbacks to what they were capable of. In my world, the Knights of the Round were 12 knights who served the Archbishop of the Holy See. In short... monsters who hid behind faith. I still miss the one they took from me... So... Who are the Knights of the round to you? Monsters? Primals? Holy men? Same for Bahamut. In my world he was a Dragon. A figure once summoned to induce the moon to fall on us all. In short, a herald of a calamity.”
Renitra sighed softly. “I’m sorry for blurting all this out Miss Kisaragi. It’s hard still thinking in the logic of my world. I’m no longer in my world and it’s honestly terrifying to me. While I’m on the subject of ‘logic from my world’, we could actually MAKE our own materia. Although I don’t think it’ll have the same properties as the ones you want from the Saint of Nymeia.” She then flinched. “I-i mean Father christmas! Dang It. Thats what we call Father Christmas in my world you see… I apolgoise for the slip of my tongue!” she then did another Doman/Eastern bow to apologise.

Yuffie was aware that she was being called out on her claims, but she never claimed to be the OFFICIAL leader right? She just told people she was 'basically' the leader, which was totally a different thing. Although she was doing that less-so lately since Celes had threatened to kick her out. "Oh, like, I'm not THE leader, I just, mean I've got like, the most experience. I helped save the world and everything!" Yuffie explained, throwing a few air punches to show off how much butt she could kick. "But, uh, Celes yelled at me so I can't tell people I'm the leader anymore," she added after a moment, looking a little more sheepish.
She then went into a lot of information about the Knights of the Round and Bahamut, and Yuffie stood there, blinking, processing it. Okay, so they sounded bad in her world. But that wasn't the case for Yuffie! She supposed they COULD be bad, if used the wrong way, but that wasn't the point either. "They're just summons in my world," Yuffie shrugged. "Big powerful things you call in to help you kick butt. I mean, Bahamut is still a dragon, and then there's Neo Bahamut and Zero Bahamut who are even dragonier dragons, but they just show up and blast a bad guy for you. They're not like, anything to worry about," Yuffie explained. And then she paused. "Well, I guess unless the person you're fighting has them..." she added thoughtfully after a moment.
"Ohhh, you could MAKE materia?" Yuffie asked eagerly. "We always suspected Shinra was capable of that, and we knew that materia isn't just naturally occurring, but that's so cool! I don't suppose you can do it here? Make me some super special kick butt materia?" Yuffie questioned, a big grin on her face.
