The Cape Rouge, Port of Fandom, Christmas Eve

As a rule, he didn't tend to do much for the winter holidays -- unless you counted "go somewhere it's not winter" -- but some combination of Fandom's festivities and the cold weather had actually put him into something of a Christmas-y mood this year, so the Rouge's deck was -- well. Decked. There were string lights and garlands all over the open deck area, especially around the table holding the big thermos of hot, buttered rum. He'd set up a little fire pit on the metal cargo-bay doors, and the door to the galley and lounge below-decks was propped open with a now-dormant loaf of yesterday's fruitcake, in case people preferred to go in where it was warmer.

As discussed, Duke had only mentioned the party to a few people since planning it with Rey. It was Christmas, though, so if people decided to wander up and say hi, he wouldn't turn them away.

[up early and ready for all the slowplay. A few people in the know expected, but as it says in the narrative, it's open for wandering in if you want, too!]

She was very cute. But oh.

"Do you need help?" Rey called after her.

"Yeah."

She might've added a 'for free' but she still thought that should have been a given. And anyway, she had the feeling Larceny wasn't any more used to paying for food than she was.

"They let you take some with you, too. For later."

She was trying! But her life before the boat had been very different.

"Okay," she said, nodding. "I'm not allowed to use the stove. Can you?"

"I'm not allowed to have food in my room anymore," Larceny said solemnly.

Okay, that deserved a slight eyebrow raise.

"Why not?"

What did you do, Lucy?

"Riddle?" Lucy asked, confused.

So probably not?

"You just could not live there."

"Not me!" Lucy declared. "Bird-things started it!"

There had been a fight.

"The bird-things --" Octavia started, before some suspicions clicked. And she shook her head. "Okay, I don't want to know."

She was very fond of the porgs, okay.

"I can," Rey answered. And hopefully Duke was cool with that.

"Okay," Larceny said, easily.

There was a pause and then, "I don't know what to say to you next."

She wasn't Larceny, so he'd probably be fine with it. But she still giggled and played with the light switches every now and then, so letting her fiddle with the stove was still on the list of bad ideas.

"This way we can make more," she said.

Octavia huffed out a snort, almost despite herself. One side of her mouth ticked up, just barely.

I bet she could use a perspective like yours.

"That's fine," she rasped. "I don't know half the time, either."

Octavia shook her head. It was only a tiny movement.

"Because I'm weird, too."
