Awwww, That was utterly adorable. Athough it probably wouldn't be as adorable if we'd had to hear Tidus shrieking and crying; I've got a few toddlers upstairs which are driving me to take up archery again.

I loved Tidus skipping every other stair on the way down.

Now I can't get this image out of my head of a much-put-upon Auron dressed up with a white beard and a pilow stuffed in his coat, trying to stick presents under the tree the next year.

Thank you!

Yes next year he will be ready! That image is great! Knowing Auron's luck that would be the year Tidus works out that Santa isn't real and will come down stairs going "Auron... what are you doing with that pillow?!"

Cute. ♥

Thanks!

This is priceless. I adore the idea of Auron helplessly searching the city for a tree and decorations at the insistence of a bratty little Tidus alkl the while wondering what inheck he is doing it all for

Thank you so much! *hugs*

The idea of Auron dragging a tree through a busy Zanarkand made me laugh so hard I had to write it! ^_~

I'm glad you picked up on the chocolate thing, I always had the impression that Auron was one of those "cause = reaction" people, "chocolate = quiet"

Intruder Santa, it had to be done. It's such a weird tradition when you think about it, I assumed the first reaction would be the Guardian instinct.

I love your reviews! Thank you!

(No nitpicking?!)

Heh, no nitpicking. Sometimes I am just sort of lazy or so caught up in the story that I don't find anything.

But upon closer inspection: "Warily Auron gave in. He pulled himself up so he was sitting and stared at the young boy, then stretched and yawed languidly." Just a typo on "yawned."

"Auron was denied a further chance to question as Tidus left the bedroom lightening fast." Typo on "lightning."

"Auron frowned, hoping it wasn’t another group of those damned singers he went to answer it." Period or semi-colon after "frowned."

"It’s the Christmas gifts, Jecht ordered them before he went missing." And a period or semi-colon should replace the comma here.

Still, see? Only trivial little mistakes. There was hardly anything to find at all. :)

And yes, Auron's bewilderment over the Christmas holiday amuses me to no end. It's an awesome little story.

This was so *cute*! I like how Auron stuggles to raise a young boy with no experience.
