Well, the weather outside is frightful

Characters: Everyone!
Date: Midnight the 16th of December
Summary: The inhabitants of the Garden get their reward for making out beneath the mistletoe, in the form of a lights show in the sky.
Warnings: N/A

In the dead of night, the Garden is dead silent. Without the sound of the city or urban life, only the noises of nature pervade the air. Crickets. Rustling leaves. The occasional footsteps of an animal.

However, tonight, at midnight, the silence is broken by a loud pealing of bells, rousing the people of the garden from their sleep. The bells continue ringing for nearly half a minute before falling silent. For a moment, the peacefulness of night returns to the Gardens.

Then the enormous mistletoe plant begins glowing, with a brilliant white light bright enough to be seen from all corners of the Garden. It fizzes, shooting off heatless sparks, and then bursts, shooting up into the sky and breaking into pieces of glowing light, forming various shapes. Above the Orchard, a series of hearts form, burst like fireworks, and reform. Over the Necessities, nymphs made of sparkling light kiss and dance through the sky, winking down at the people below. Over the ruins, flowers of multicolored light pop into existence and disperse. And above the Viridian Pavilion, fiery red phoenixes swoop through the air, burn out dramatically, and are reborn in a new cascade of light.

The show will continue until morning. Fortunately, now that the mistletoe's light has dispersed, it's not so bright that it should keep people awake.

Akiha doesn't cook. She has people that do that for her. Why would Kris want...

"...people d-don't make good gifts."

"Why not?" Once again, Kris looked a little confused. "Who made up something like that?"

"Because people aren't possessions." No matter how possessive and territorial Akiha sometimes got. Like over Kris' blood. But that was beside the point! "Not with the type of relationship you and I have. That's something you ask for when you're romantically involved with someone. Then it's a symbolic thing."

"I see." Kris tapped her chin thoughtfully. "Knowing all that, I'm sure I can leave it to you then."

Akiha sighed. "You're so difficult," she stated before pulling free. It was an amusing statement considering how between the two of them Akiha was by far the difficult one.

"I'm going inside," she said, shivering a bit with the sudden loss of Kris' body heat.

She waved at the leaving Akiha. "Bye bye."
