I13DT - Under The Tree

by **Miranda Weaver** » Mon Aug 04, 2014 8:34 pm

Miranda was putting a couple of wrapped packages under the tree in Nailah and Sam's apartment, making sure they were in good places. She was also being extra careful to make sure that her wings didn't take the tree out.

A knock! At the door!

by **Miranda Weaver** » Mon Aug 04, 2014 10:44 pm

Miranda looked at the door and, while walking towards it, tried to see who was on the other side. The psy-shielding in the apartment prevented that though. "Who is it?"

by **Will Stanton** » Mon Aug 04, 2014 10:59 pm

"Candygram."

by **Miranda Weaver** » Mon Aug 04, 2014 11:00 pm

"What?" Miranda asked, confused, as she opened the door.

by **Will Stanton** » Mon Aug 04, 2014 11:01 pm

"Miranda?" Will said, surprised.

by **Miranda Weaver** » Mon Aug 04, 2014 11:04 pm

"Will," Miranda responded. "Good to see you."

by **Will Stanton** » Mon Aug 04, 2014 11:56 pm

"Surprised to see you here--though I guess I shouldn't be."

"Since school let out, I've been spending more time here. Family dinners and stuff. You want to come in?"

by **Will Stanton** » Tue Aug 05, 2014 10:37 am

"Maybe for a few minutes--I'm mostly here to drop off some presents."

by **Miranda Weaver** » Tue Aug 05, 2014 10:46 am

"Okay," she said, moving out of the way so he could enter.

by **Will Stanton** » Tue Aug 05, 2014 10:59 am

Will hesitated at the threshhold.

"You're sure your parents aren't home?"

by **Miranda Weaver** » Tue Aug 05, 2014 11:01 am

"Pretty sure," she said. "Why?" Her tone was a little suspicious.

by **Will Stanton** » Tue Aug 05, 2014 11:17 am

"I just...maybe I should come back?" he said, nervously. "I don't want to disturb Her stuff or anything."

by **Miranda Weaver** » Tue Aug 05, 2014 11:24 am

She tilted her head, "I don't think there's anything here to disturb and I am confident enough in my place here to give you permission to enter. I'm not entirely sure I understand why you're hesitant." Her wings rustled.

"I'm not really sure I'm on your Mom's good side, so I'm being cautious," he said, half-truthfully, as he gingerly stepped into the apartment.

by **Miranda Weaver** » Tue Aug 05, 2014 11:53 am

"Which one do you think you offended? Mom or Mum?"

by **Will Stanton** » Tue Aug 05, 2014 12:00 pm

"The redhead which stares into your soul," Will joked.

by **Miranda Weaver** » Tue Aug 05, 2014 12:02 pm

"Mum then, unless Mom has dyed her hair while I wasn't looking," she quipped back. "I think you worry too much."

by **Will Stanton** » Tue Aug 05, 2014 12:08 pm

"Oh, I think I do, too, but you can never be too careful."

by **Miranda Weaver** » Tue Aug 05, 2014 12:15 pm

"I'm not sure I agree with that statement, but you're welcome to think that," she said, closing the door behind him.

by **Will Stanton** » Tue Aug 05, 2014 12:54 pm

"It looks so...normal," Will observed, looking at the tree.

by **Miranda Weaver** » Tue Aug 05, 2014 12:58 pm

"You were expecting raven feathers and Egyptian ankhs?"

by **Will Stanton** » Tue Aug 05, 2014 1:54 pm

"I was expecting a different...feel. It was certainly here the last time I was. But this looks straight out of the Saturday Evening Post."

by **Miranda Weaver** » Tue Aug 05, 2014 2:09 pm

"There's something to be said for traditions," she said, "Even for those of us who've never experienced them before."

by **Will Stanton** » Tue Aug 05, 2014 3:06 pm

"That's right! This is your first Christmas. How exciting!"

by **Miranda Weaver** » Tue Aug 05, 2014 4:45 pm

"Quite. It promises to be very interesting."

by **Will Stanton** » Tue Aug 05, 2014 5:25 pm

"A visit from Santa, ey?"

by **Miranda Weaver** » Tue Aug 05, 2014 5:35 pm

"That's one tradition that I've avoided. Not all traditions are interesting."

by **Will Stanton** » Tue Aug 05, 2014 5:49 pm

"Watch out, or you'll get a stocking full of coal."

by **Miranda Weaver** » Tue Aug 05, 2014 5:59 pm

"I sincerely doubt that."

by **Will Stanton** » Tue Aug 05, 2014 6:04 pm

"You never know if he's watching you," Will said, gears within gears spinning in his head.

by **Miranda Weaver** » Tue Aug 05, 2014 6:25 pm

"I'm fairly certain I'd be aware."

by **Will Stanton** » Tue Aug 05, 2014 6:51 pm

"Not of Santa. He's got all kinds of mutant powers."

by **Miranda Weaver** » Tue Aug 05, 2014 9:13 pm

"I am aware of the history of Saint Nicholas. I didn't know he was a long-lived mutant."

by **Will Stanton** » Tue Aug 05, 2014 9:24 pm

"Oh, he's probably cosmic in origin."

by **Miranda Weaver** » Tue Aug 05, 2014 9:29 pm

"Then they wouldn't be 'mutant' powers." She was giving the distinct impression of intentionally being a brat.

by **Will Stanton** » Tue Aug 05, 2014 10:20 pm

"Or WOULD they?" he asked, sliding a couple packages under the tree.

by **Miranda Weaver** » Tue Aug 05, 2014 10:25 pm

"I'm not sure they would, but that's a debate for smarter brains than mine."

by **Will Stanton** » Tue Aug 05, 2014 11:22 pm

"Then that probably knocks me out of the running too," Will said, looking around the room again.
