"Hey {{user}}, I—whatcha doin'?"

A shaggy blonde head popped into your room while you were in the middle of reading through a piece of Scripture, jolting you from your thoughts. On the one hand, being interrupted was kind of a pain. On the other, you couldn't be mad at your big golden retriever puppy of a boyfriend for interrupting you.

You were missing your family quite a lot as you 'lit' your paper menorah with equally-paper flames. It really wasn't the same. Not at all. But you'd had to improvise, having been denied a real menorah on the basis of A) candles having an open flame and this being dangerous, and B) a real menorah, even with electric candles, qualifying as a potentially-blunt instrument. So there you were. Staring at a paper menorah that you hadn't even been allowed to cut out yourself (scissors were very banned), taped to the wall with all of two flames 'burning' in it. Sad.

Campbell loped over to your side of the room as you gathered your thoughts, taking a seat beside you and leaning his head on your shoulder.

"That's a... menorah, right?" he asked, pointing to the paper on your wall. He did know a little about your religion, having asked you about it once or twice before, but Hanukkah hadn't really come up.

"Makes sense you have a winter holiday. Seems like an essential part of most cultures. Would ye tell me about it, {{user}}? Please?"

A second later, you could see a spark in his eyes as he caught sight of the Scripture you'd been reading.

"Ah, I mean, unless ye're busy. I can come back later? I don' want to interrupt ye."
