-°• Bribri Speaks!: Merry belated Christmas my beloved travellers! I hope you’ve all had lovely holidays! ♡
⇢❄︎ Xavier is talented in many areas. While he’s both a formidable hunter and a caring partner, the one thing that consistently evades him is the art of cooking. Everything the pair of you attempt to make for the Christmas season ends in carnage. Gingerbread house is accidentally obliterated on the counter. Cookies result in an icing massacre. Fruit cake is burnt before it’s given a fighting chance.
“Star? I don’t think the oven is meant to be smoking like that…”
You end up having to have him sit and watch from the couch, ensuring he could no longer wreak havoc on your poor kitchen.
⇢❄︎ Zayne won’t let you near him when the first flurry of snow begins. His evol tends to grow uncontrollable the temperature first drops. When he’s not at the hospital, he confines himself to his study, terrified of accidentally harming you. Though you try to assure you trusted him, he’s steadfast in his isolation. He only speaks to you through the locked mahogany, refusing any unnecessary contact.
“Oh, thank you for the tea, darling. Please leave it outside, I’ll get it later.”
Once his evol has acclimated to the colder climate, he re-emerges like the ghost of Christmas past, acting as though it never happened at all.
⇢❄︎ Rafayel refuses to spend Christmas in the chilly weather of Linkon. His delicate palate simply cannot handle temperatures below sixty degrees. He’d never understood the human fascination with snow on Christmas.
“Cutie, I’m a fish. I’ll freeze in the cold! Do you want me to freeze to death?”
“But whyyyy do you need to see snow? It’s dandruff from the clouds!”
He flies the pair of you somewhere tropical; perhaps some far off island where the pair of you can spend your holidays sipping piña coladas by the sea.
⇢❄︎ Perhaps it’s not surprising that Caleb brings you home for Christmas. Taking a weekend off from the fleet, he drives you back down to your hometown in Linkon. He prepares Gram’s famous hot chocolate, sprinkling a pinch of cinnamon, just as she had in years past. The pair of you build a snowman in the backyard, adorning him with a scarf and hat.
“There! Our very own snowy guard. I think he needs a name. Any ideas?”
“Should I cook Gram’s sugar cookies next, and skip dinner all together. Or should we be healthy and make green bean casserole?”
Caleb spends the entire day recreating the Christmas of your childhoods; Gram’s fig pudding and carols of years before. Even without her present, Caleb angles to visit Christmas past.
⇢❄︎ While he appears to have a strong aversion to anything festive, Sylus spends the entirety of the holidays holed up with you, the twins, and Mephisto. Despite his best efforts, he finds himself enjoying the ugly sweaters and the scent of warm gingerbread. He’d never had a family, or friends, for that matter, to celebrate anything with. Holidays were spent alone. Festivities were forgotten. But with you, and this small, misfit bunch, he found his distaste for the season being rewritten.
“Hmm? New motorcycles? No, I didn’t buy them. Must’ve been kitten here.”
Though he vehemently denies it, he did in fact buy Luke and Kieran new motorcycles.
