winter holiday catch all

Happy Holidays!


A catchall post for a variety of holidays for the R2-crew, set in the penthouse. Maybe you're decorating, and watching Anna set up nativity scenes faster than Mephisto can take them back down. Or maybe you're making holiday cookies, or eating a large meal (maybe even thanksgiving dinner???). Multi-Denominational Holiday party, that Anna has somehow broken Riley out of Juvie for, yowling about the first-amendment, which she's never studied? Or maybe it's time to just spend with friends and family, and play mean tricks on each other. Watch out for the Mistletoe!

It will be, in time. [He doesn't dare call it her room now -- aside from the hairbows, there's nothing that is specifically Riley here just yet. Give him time, and it will be as close to a castle as a man can make a single room, though.

He motions for her to sit on the bed in the center of the room. Right now, it's out of place and in the way, and only has the most basic of sheets on it. Like with the decorations, he hasn't quite figured out the layout. The bed is massive, though, and piled high with every stuffed creature he had ever brought her.

Once she's settled, he goes to select a bow. Eventually he finds one that comes close to matching the deep red of his shirt. After grabbing a brush as well, he sits beside her, slightly further back on the bed. He carefully begins gathering her hair.

One could almost wonder if he had been practicing.]

The gift is not much, the circumstances being what they are. But... I think it will be enough to get you through. At least until I sneak in next.

[ Oh, but the room, the bed, everything... She loves it. She lets out a soft, happy sigh as he starts brushing her hair. In moments like this, Riley finds herself being very childish...but after everything that's happened, maybe that's okay.

At the mention of his late night excursions, she fights back a small laugh. ] Just those are enough, you know. You really didn't have to get me anything.

[ Just those nights... The one time she doesn't have to dance around what she's been through, the one time she's not being monitored. That alone, along with his presence, feels like the greatest gift of all. ]

...But, I'm still going to love it, whatever it is.
