[The clocktower is striking midnight, and Euri and Dog are sitting out on the front steps. In front of them is a decent-sized bonfire that's burning gold and red. Euri's watching it sullenly, sipping at some kind of drink in a large mug. Dog is sprawled over her lap like a lazy mutt.]

You know, this holiday is a lot more serious when you celebrate it with only a couple of people.

It's much more relaxing, though.

I guess.... [She scratches at his ears with her free hand.] You're pretty relaxed.

And you should cheer up.~ This time of the year isn't that bad.

Tche....

((Black = Euri, red = Dog. Dated at midnight!))

A holiday? What kind?

[ She saw fire and wanted to know what all this was about. ]

1/2

[actionlaced.livejournal.com]

[Euri looks off to the side.]

It's nothing. Just a stupid thing [Witches] my family does.

[umbrare.livejournal.com]

That's an unfair explanation.

[retenir.livejournal.com]

If it's stupid, then why are you celebrating?

[actionlaced.livejournal.com]

Because, that's what you do with holidays! You celebrate them. [Also because this one is pretty important to Witches and all.]

[retenir.livejournal.com]

Hmm...I only celebrated a few back home, but it wasn't like this.

[ Sitting down. ]

[partlyblind.livejournal.com]

This is a... Harvest fire?

[actionlaced.livejournal.com]

[Dog totally doesn't care, but Euri is immediately cautious.]

It's for a holiday.

[partlyblind.livejournal.com]

It's around about that time...

Ah, guess it wouldn't be the same holiday, with all this different worlds crap.

[actionlaced.livejournal.com]

Not unless you're from Minoa. [And even then, she can tell he's not a Warlock. She'll just keep eyeing him warily.]

[partlyblind.livejournal.com]

'friad not. So what's the holiday?

[tabbytastic.livejournal.com]

[...there's a grumbly sort of growl somewhere in the shadows on the far side of the fire]

...You've gotta be shittin' me.

[actionlaced.livejournal.com]

[Euri glances up at the noise, peering around unsuccessfully. She then glances down at Dog, who has his ears perked up and is staring in Tabby's direction, and follows his gaze.]

What?

[tabbytastic.livejournal.com]

[there is a pissed-off vampire crouched in the shadows faaar outside the fire's light, glaring in their direction]

[actionlaced.livejournal.com]

[Squiiiint - oh hey it's that girl.]

Hey! Why are you way over there?

[tabbytastic.livejournal.com]

Why are you camping right by the front door?

Who does that?

[heresyandlace.livejournal.com]

[someone was on their way out the door when they stumble upon this little scene]

Well... this looks cozy.

[actionlaced.livejournal.com]

[Euri freezes for a second, because she recognizes that voice. It's the guy she thought was a kidnapper when she was a kid

Oh, awkward]

... I guess it is.

[heresyandlace.livejournal.com]

[hmm! she looks just like that spooky little girl he was harassing a while ago...]

What's the occasion?

[actionlaced.livejournal.com]

... Nothing important.

[heresyandlace.livejournal.com]

Important enough to build a fire for, at least.

this is probably at like lunchtime

[deadwhisperer.livejournal.com]

Maybe I should leave it outside her door...

[ Which is the first thing he wonders as he stops outside Euri's door with RIGHT ARM IN A SLING and a small package tied with string in the other. Last time he was here he wound up pulling glass out of his arm ): ]

*A*

[actionlaced.livejournal.com]

[And not a minute later Euri is walking into the hallway. She's got a paper bag in her arms, and when she sees Adel she'll stop.]

... What are you doing?

[deadwhisperer.livejournal.com]

Gaaaah--!! [ yeeep that makes him jumkp and whirl around ]

[actionlaced.livejournal.com]

[Euri just looks at Adel.

Then down at the package.

Then at Adel again.]

... Well?
