Remus had been to enough Christmas parties in his lifetime to know when one would end disastrously, including those that had been specifically dated to avoided interfering with other Christmas plans that the guests might have. This was one of them. But his tolerance had kept him quiet, the happy act of cleaning and decorating taken to as easily as any other task he did.
The twins had also been enlisted to help, given the important task of stringing a length of bright red ribbon and pine up the staircase to the second floor. The soft white lights that followed were magic. In fact, none of the lights, save for whatever lamps or overhead lights that Miles insisted upon, were run by electricity, and many were candles, kept only from setting anything ablaze by a flame-freezing charm.
By the time the morning of the party rolled around, the house looked as if it had been pulled straight out of a Christmas card, Remus borrowing from what he remembered of Christmases as Hogwarts and the Burrow, including a single bit of mistletoe in the entry. The snow helped, piling nicely (if in an oddly organized fashion) outside thanks to a little help from Miles, adding to the image; if nothing else, Remus was happy with it, the certainty that he would wind up having to transfigure another person into some sort of object nagging at the back of his mind.
Tin whistles, toy rocking horses, and sprigs of mistletoe were likely going to be very common later in the evening, he mused, tapping his wand rhythmically against the palm of his hand in thought as he checked everything over once more, walking through the sitting and dining rooms and out into the backyard where the tree house had been built out of ice and wood into the tree there. The floating green structures that Kyle Rayner had promised to provide were still missing, but they would be there soon enough.
He pocketed his wand and walked back into the house, shaking free the snow from his boots, and glancing at the clock. People who had offered their assistance had been asked to come early, which meant that the kitchen was soon going to turn into a madhouse, the extra stove only offering so much help. It also meant he had best make tea before he was banned from the room.

I don't know anymore /sigh/ have a thread idk
Oh right. Free food, Bakura's little-kid eyes, and his team was here too. And maybe getting to bug the brat twins.
But for now he was bored and far too awkward than he ever liked to be. At least this eggnog stuff is okay.]
ILU~
Hey. Bored yet?
<3
You have no idea.
no subject
I know. Parties like this aren't my style either. But the food's pretty good.
...and if Rua asks, I'm totally not avoiding him.
no subject
[That's not a gleam of mischief in his eyes, really.] Why are you avoiding Rua? I've been thinking about finding him to say hello~
no subject
Ah, he wants to duel. Which isn't so bad, except I'm tired from work. But I think he went and got me a present even after I told him not to - I don't want to go through that awkward again.
no subject
[yeah, he might be a little more relaxed now]
Mmm. I wouldn't mind dueling him...
[shrug] People are going to get you presents. It comes with having friends.
no subject
*he can tell, but for now he's not going to instigate any sort of ducking off to the guest room. Not yet...*
Yeah, but see, that's the weird thing. It's all people I hardly talk to, that I'm only sort-of friends with. Not my real friends, like you and B...
...okay, no, I'm pretty sure Bakura went and did it anyway.
no subject
[Kiryu ducks his head a little, smirk over at him.]
Yeah, and I did too.
Okay, it comes with being appreciated.
no subject
*uses that hand on his waist to tug him a little closer*
You got me something?
no subject
no subject
no subject
You don't have to. I don't think that'll be a problem.
no subject
(no subject)
Speaking of...
o/
Hey, Bakura~ Of course I did. You're here~
no subject
Oh! And I did get you a gift, but it's not here now, since I thought it would be silly to bring it all the way here and back when it's so much easier to just bring it down the hall! [[says with a soft laugh]]
no subject
[He blinks a little at that.] You didn't have to...I didn't get you anything.
no subject
I know I didn't. I wanted to. You don't need to get me anything, having you for a brother is enough. [[smiles so happily]]
XD that icon
I try my best...
/sneaks in
Just as "bratty" as always.]
o hai \o
He had an excuse to bug her, after all. Not a great one, but an excuse nonetheless.]
hey sup
She'd been avoiding going out into the snow thus far the evening, but if Kiryu was going to be in the house, she wanted to be out of it.]
no subject
Ruka? Where'd you go~?
