Might be in her teens now, but still a kid at heart.

Definitely.
*you arrive at the base early in the morning, so the lights are still out. You can see the silhouette of a Christmas tree in the corner with gifts under it. However you notice something rummaging around looking for something before picking up a present*
?????: One little peek wouldn't hurt...

Yep. Layne hates surprises. Every time a package comes in around Christmas time, he checks to see if it's a present. He even checks mom's online history to see what she's ordered before it gets here!

Oh yeah. He doesn't like surprises when it comes to gifts. Not one bit. Maybe it came from a gift he didn't like one year? I dunno.

Well, you just kinda reminded me of him. But you said it's overkill. If you start, you might end up like that. Like say you wanted to go to the movies, but before you left, you looked up a summary of the plot online! Every time!

Milla: Oh... I see. *realizes she's still holding the present *. You know... Maybe I should wait until I'm allowed to open this...
?????: That'd be for the best.
Milla: Huh? *realizes the other three were listening in*

Lilac: Milla... Were you trying to peek?
Milla: Yeah... But Cam stopped me.
Carol: Well I'm glad you're excited, but we only got a little over a week before you can open it.
Neera: Yes. Remember, patience is a virtue. Think you can wait until then?
Milla: Yeah... It's better than being like Cam's brother.
Lilac: *chuckles* Wait. What?

Milla: Ooh! You think we can have some hot chocolate?

After that raid on those ruins when Spade first swiped the kingdom stone, they collapsed, and Carol got trapped. Milla rescued her with those force fields, and Carol only came out with that scratch on her ear.

Neera: I see.
Carol: Hey, Lilac. Maybe we should get back in our pajamas too. They're much warmer than our usual wear, and I'd rather not wear a coat all day.
Lilac: Okay. Excuse us for a minute, Cam.

*they leave, and a few minutes later they return wearing warm pjs and wool socks. Except Milla, who's pjs are footies*
Lilac: Yeah.. That's much warmer. Anyway, let's start with the cocoa.

*upon reaching the kitchen*
Carol: So you want normal chocolate? Or do want a special flavor?
Milla: I don't know about the rest of you, but I'd like peppermint!
Lilac: Want marshmallows in it?
Milla: Of course!
Lilac: What about you Cam? Just a plain milk chocolate for you? Or would you like something more interesting?

Regular. Marshmallows on the side so I can have them with or without the chocolate. Please.

Lilac: Yep! All the gifts are under the tree, decorations are up. Basically now all we gotta do is wait for the big day.
Carol: You know, I'm always surprised that you like winter so much. Aren't dragons cold blooded?
Lilac: Well, I'm only half water dragon, remember?
