Advent Drabble #8
Advent Drabble #8
(Running jokes are our friends.)
Lantern Stewart has invited Kai to share the winter holiday with his family. The apartment feels like a space not often occupied - it exists so that Rex may attend school - although tonight the rooms are filled with tinsel and the smells of delicious food.
As they eat, Kai tells Warhawk and her son about the New Year festivals back home, and Rex laughs at the butter sculptures. Kai thinks Rex is laughing at him, realizes only later that the gentle teasing is another tradition of their family, like reading the poem about the jolly man while Warhawk rolls her eyes.
