I hope that everyone enjoyed the Solstice. I decided to keep vigil all night in town, and it was a long, cold night, but a good one, and I'm glad I did it. Next year, though, I think I might not be quite such a stickler about spending the whole time outdoors.

I think Christmas and New Years will be pretty anticlimactic in comparison, but that's all right.

I can hope that maybe they won't be, anyway. Not that I expect anything in particular to happen, but I can hope that I'll be spending them similar to last night... or this morning, I should say. I'm still so tired, and I wish I was there, except I do sort of wish his bed was a little bigger. Or actually a bed.

It occurred to me that after break things won't be as easy as they are now. I'm trying not to think about it. A week and a half from now is a week and a half from now. I plan to make the most of all the moments we have between now and then.

Your parents sound like they're pretty amazing then.

[Colwyn and Peter]

[sugarandice]

They are. I think you'll like them, and I know they'll like you.

[Colwyn and Peter]

[gentlegiant]

I'm sure I will.

I don't want your brother to ruin your Christmas.

[Colwyn and Peter]

[sugarandice]

His friends won't be there so he won't have anyone he feels compelled to impress by being an ass to me.

[Colwyn and Peter]

[gentlegiant]

But he'll get into it with you, eventually. Because you're with me and he doesn't like that.

[Colwyn and Peter]

[sugarandice]

Honestly? I don't know if he actually cares what I do or who I'm with, or if he just cares how it reflects on him, and his friends' perception of him.

Bad enough he's got a faery for a brother, worse yet the faery's a fairy. But if his friends don't know... I'm not sure whether he'll get upset or not.

And I don't care. Let him get upset if he wants to. It's my life, and I like you, and if he doesn't understand that then that's too bad for him.

[Colwyn and Peter]

[gentlegiant]

I could try looming over him, see if that makes him think twice. Except I'm not particularly intimidating, despite the height.

I don't want him taking out being upset on you. I don't like to see you hurt.

[Colwyn and Peter]

[sugarandice]

I can give as good as I get, and you're worth it.

[Colwyn and Peter]

[gentlegiant]

But I I'd still rather avoid you having to fight.

[Colwyn and Peter]

[sugarandice]

Fighting with Rhys is not so much a matter of 'if' but 'when'. If it's not over you it'll be over something else. Don't worry, Peter. They're just bruises.

[Colwyn and Peter]

[gentlegiant]

I'm going to worry anyway. They're just bruises, and it's still your skin they're on.

[Colwyn and Peter]

[sugarandice]

If he leaves a mark on me, you can kiss me and make it better.

[Colwyn and Peter]

[gentlegiant]

Oh.

I could do that.

[Colwyn and Peter]

[sugarandice]

Even if he doesn't leave a mark on me, you can kiss me.

[Colwyn and Peter]

[gentlegiant]

I could do that, too.
