37 Howls: Aftermath

[coyote_walking]

That was... well... I'm glad it's over.




Thomas... I have to talk to you. About the mistletoe curse.






Hey, look. No hard feelings, right? This doesn't have to affect our friendship at all. It was just a stupid curse, right?






I, um... just want you to know that as far as I'm concerned, that never happened. I mean, it did, but it was just the curse and not something, well... real. I just don't want us feeling all awkward about it okay?

No, it can't. I'm sorry.

What? You wish it did? It sucks.

Re: Private

[coyote-walking.livejournal.com]

No. I mean, I'm sorry for you. It must be terrible.

Private

[prodigalvampire]

I don't need pity, Mercy. It's just part of what I am.

Re: Private

[coyote-walking.livejournal.com]

It's not pity, Thomas.

I'm not sitting here going, "oh poor little Thomas, to have to deal with such a horrible thing".

It's empathy. I feel for you. And I just... wish there was something I could do to change it.

Private

[prodigalvampire]

Well there isn't.

Re: Private

[coyote-walking.livejournal.com]

I know.

Doesn't stop me from wishing there was.

Just like you wish you could help me when I'm feeling bad.

Private

[prodigalvampire]

I know.

Re: Private

[coyote-walking.livejournal.com]

So, anyway... Christmas?

Private

[prodigalvampire]

Yeah. Yeah, sorry.

Re: Private

[coyote-walking.livejournal.com]

It's okay.

I don't even know if it's something you celebrate.

Private

[prodigalvampire]

I...haven't made a habit of it.

Re: Private

[coyote-walking.livejournal.com]

Well, if you'd rather not, we don't have to, I guess.

Re: Private

[prodigalvampire]

I never said I didn't want to, Mercy.

Re: Private

[coyote-walking.livejournal.com]

Just thought I'd offer. Not that it would have stopped me from getting you a present.

Re: Private

[prodigalvampire]

See? Why fight it?

Re: Private

[coyote-walking.livejournal.com]

No point at all!

Private

[prodigalvampire]

And if you can't beat 'em...

Re: Private

[coyote-walking.livejournal.com]

We decide how to join them?

Private

[prodigalvampire]

So it would seem.

Re: Private

[coyote-walking.livejournal.com]

So... Christmas?

Private

[prodigalvampire]

Christmas. I don't know what we're doing. Any ideas?

Re: Private

[coyote-walking.livejournal.com]

Dinner here? I can make something, maybe see if Harry wants to come. Shal, Brennan and Kirk too if they want, though I think they may have plans.

Private

[prodigalvampire]

I...that sounds nice.

Re: Private

[coyote-walking.livejournal.com]

I don't - usually it's just me for Christmas, so... I'm happy to do whatever.
