*nods and sits up properly*
I'd like that.
*scoots herself closer to Maiev*

*Santiago nods*
S: (It's Christmas, I had to get you something.)

*Returns with Rita's present, and waits beside Gharn*

*Denny leans against Jake and stays silent*

~

*Maiev smiles, and starts teaching Kara the basics of origami*

~

*Joalia blinks a few times*
Joal: (I...I did not get you anything...)

I like to pretend I'm... semi-competent.
*Joins into the game, which will not be detailed, because come on, it's snakes and ladders*

*Gharn stands and looks down at Izriel*
Gharn: Perhaps we can play dominoes another time. I imagine I would be not good.
But now I think I will go get your gifts
*He walks off to the tree to pick up the gifts he bought*


*Horus looks down at Maiev and Kara*
Horus: So, it's been a little while since we've really talked, how are you two?
*He smiles happily*


*Morri and Cal both nod, both are grinning*
Morri: Yeah, sure. Maybe we can meet them later? When it's a little less... everything?


*Billy and Black Hawk catch up for a while, Billy puts his arm around Jordan from time to time, and kisses her occasionally*

*nods and follows along to Maiev's instructions*
I think I'm getting the hang of it.
*looks up at Horus*
We've been well. The Fade trip was... tiring, but nothing permanent. What about you?

*Santiago sighs and sets the boxes down before putting his hands on Joalia's hips*
S: (It's your first Christmas, you had no way of knowing. And you've already done a lot for me, I don't need any gift.)
*leans forwards and kisses Joalia*

*Rita comes back with two gift's, and puts one in front of Gharn and Izriel.*
Rita: Alright here are your gifts.. hope you like them.
*She sits down.*

----
*Jake sets his plate down next to Dennys, and puts a arm around her.*
*Oy eats from both plates happily.*

*m,s play a few games of scrabble *
*marilania*

Well.. You seemed like you needed some company. After all you faced. A few freindly faces a good idea.

*maria*
Aye... Your.. Well your one of the room. That's what matters, we look after each other. *smiles*

*marla*
If you excuse me I'm gonna check on my good egg.
Merry Christmas.

*waves and goes to spend some time with milo*

Ooc NPC mine if needed. I'm going to falls asleep soon.... Just make em enjoy the Christmas party or somthing.
Night folks...

I need zzzz

*Smiles at Rita, and places the gift in front of Rita, then runs off to get Gharn's gift*
I'll be back!

~

*Maiev smiles at Kara's progress, and nods at Horus*
*Goes back to focusing on origami*

~

*Joalia guilty af*
Joal: (...I should have gotten you a gift...)

~

*Denny cuddles Jake*

~

*Jordan cuddles Billy*

*Rita nods to Izrie, and looks at the gift Izriel got her. Not opening it just looking at the box.*
Rita: Okay, sounds good.
*She then looks at Gharn, and scoots her gift closer to him.*
Rita: Open it?

----
*Jake cuddles with Denny.*
*Oy eats the scraps from their plates.*

*leans against Maiev and continues origami'ing*
What's our plan for tonight?

*Santiago kisses Joalia again and hugs her*
S: (Don't let it bother you. You know I don't want anything, anyway. I'm happy with what I have.)

*Maiev blinks, then blushes*
M: Uhh...You're the one in charge, remember?

~

*Joalia nods, and stops feeling as guilty, but still feels a bit guilty*
Joal: (I should have still gotten you something...But I will make it up to you! Do you want a coffee?)

*smiles and kisses Maiev's cheek*
I like that answer.

*Santiago kisses Joalia again and smiles*
S: (I wouldn't mind a cup.)

*Returns with Gharn's gift, and puts it behind Rita's gift for Gharn*
*Looks at Rita and smiles*
You two open them together.

~

*Maiev blushes again and distractedly continues making origami*
*Definitely don't look like swans anymore*

~

*Joalia nods and runs off to the kitchen*
*Starts making a coffee*

*Rita nods, and puts Izriel's gift in infront of her.*
Rita: Same.
*She smiles, and waits.*
Rita: You guys ready?

I am. Gharn?
*Waits on Gharn*

*Gharn nods and smiles*
Gharn: Alright. Let's do it.
*Closes his eyes and focuses a moment, when he opens them they're golden cat eyes, his teeth are pointed and his nails have turned to claws, which he uses to shred the wrapping paper on Rita's gift*


*Horus smiles and puts his arm around Iris who smiles and leans against him*
Horus: Good, very good. I wish you would have told me about the fade trip, I could have helped in some way.

OOC:
I hope you all had some nice hobby hauls/gifts. Managed to get BoP and some Arcadian Riflemen from Victoria Miniatures.

BIC:
*I'm talking intensely with a Techmarine and gesturing at a data pad*

*shakes her head*
We couldn't delay any longer. Verdai was possessed, if we let that demon remain in control, more lives could've been lost. I'm sorry Horus, but we had to rush.

*Santiago sits down and waits for Joalia to come back*
*quietly drums his fingers against his knee*

OOC: Fallout merch and some Steam games mostly. Only got one GW product this year (So far). Merry Christmas WK
BIC:
*Horus shrugs, and looks jokingly stern*
Horus: Well, next time just knock on my door and I'll be ready to help you in seconds. Don't hesitate to ask if you need it.

M: You were busy dicking Iris at the time, so I don't think it would've been the time.
*Shrugs and continues failing to make origami swans*

~

*Joalia finishes making the coffee, and runs out to find Santiago again, with his coffee, just how he likes it*

OOC I got beer.

*Horus shifts, embarrassed as Iris and Ra laugh. Reinhardt looks reserved at this*
Horus: Er... Well then maybe it would have been a minute... but I would still have been ready to help!

*Rita nods.*
Rita: Okay!
*She opens Izriels gift.*
*Rita's gift to gharn is a simply stone statue of a stone lion, on the side is printed in English "To my furry friend Gharn, Love Rita."*
Rita: I hope you like it Gharn..

*Gharn grins widely*
Gharn: I love it, thank you so much Rita
*He hugs her and slides his gift over to her*
Gharn: I hope mine is as good...
*The present is crudely wrapped to the point where it's almost spherical with the amount of wrapping paper used*

*Rita's gift is a photoframe of the photo that was snapped yesterday, with an attached note reading "So we can remember the best times we've had ever. X Izriel"*
*Gharn's is the same*
*Izy gently opens her prezzie from Rita*

~

*Maiev shrugs and smiles slightly*
M: Yeah, sure. That's not something to be proud of Horus.

*Gharn's smile widens and he hugs Izriel as well*
Gharn: Thank you both, I now have something to actually put in my room!


*Horus frowns*
Horus: What? What do you mean?

*smirks*
It's fine, Horus. Besides, you're needed elsewhere. If something happened while you were in the Fade, imagine what that would do to Iris. And bringing you both wouldn't have been possible, it would have taken too much lyrium and mana, I don't know if it could've been done.
*leans against Maiev and smiles*

*Santiago kisses Joalia and takes the coffee*
S: (Thanks Joal. Now, why don't you open your gifts?)

*Rita smiles, and hugs Izriel.*
Rita: I love it, Izriel! I have a perfect place for it too!
*She returns the hug to Gharn, and smiles.*
Rita: Glad you like it Gharn!
*She starts opening Gharns gift.*
*Izriels gift is a stone Angel, with a similar inscription "To the Angel, who gave me hope, Love Rita."*

*Stares at Rita's gift for a while, then smiles, and kisses her on the cheek*
I love it.
*Kisses Gharn on the cheek as well*
And those were attached to my gift.

~

*Maiev shrugs and smiles*
*Nuzzles against Kara*

~

*Joalia nods and takes the prezzies*
*Opens them one at a time*
*Uses tail to do so*

*Gharn's present is a Titanfall T-shirt with a Ronin titan on it, wrapped in the t-shirt is a huge bag of chocolate*
Gharn: Do you like it?... I saw the shirt and it looked similar to RT.
*He goes bright red at being kissed and looks taken aback*


*Iris's expression turns almost fearful and flashes of black dash across her still yellow skin as Horus sighs and nods*
Horus: I understand... but I still wish I could have helped, even if it was kitting you out a bit before you left.
*He smiles*
Horus: I wouldn't want anything to happen to either of you, just know that. If there's time before your next adventure, let me know if I can help. Okay?

*Rita reddens at the kiss slightly, then turns to Gharn.*
Rita: I love it Gharn! It really looks like Rt.. and I'm sure he will love it too. I am sure I can find some use for the chocolates as well!
*She hugs both of them happily.*
Rita: Thank you both so much.. Merry xmas.
