The twins had made their lists for Nick (once he escaped from the evil clutches of the elves and delivered his presents) and so had Del but she still did not know what to get Robb Stark this year. She did not know what you got mortal men that you loved for the holidays, perhaps she should get him 'Something for that Someone Special' like the window had advertised. But Del didn't understand why Robb Stark would want to wear white fluffy edged red underwear. Maybe it was a strange mortal custom.

Putting the twins 'To Santa' list up on the board in the parlour, Del sat on one of the stools and counted to a hundred as she covered her eyes. Listening to the twins giggle and run out of sight, Del span around on the stool faster and faster until she was dizzy. As she reached zero, she stood up stumbling a little before she ran into someone.

"Sorrysorry, we're playing hide and sneak." Del said smiling.

"Oh, hey, it's okay, honey," says Charlie, smiling brightly. She's all bundled up from the cold, Cadi held somewhat awkwardly in her arms, since they're both in so many layers. She puts her down, tugging the wool hat off Cadi's tousled copper curls.

"I don't suppose you do hot chocolate do you, Miss Del?"

Del grinned at Cadi, smiling brightly at her as she stumbled almost drunkenly back and forth. The dizziness clearly upsetting her balance for the moment. Looking at Charlie with an ohoh, she nodded.

"Something hot? Hmm, yep." Del said bouncing about. "With marshmallows and whipped cream and- you two are supposed to be hiding and not sneaking when you here the word chocolate. Human children do not play by rules Charlie Jones it is terribly inconvenient."

The twins, of course, had come out of hiding as soon as the word chocolate had been mentioned. "Fine, hot chocolate for everyone don't make the royal pouty face Abigail."

"No whipped cream for Cadi, honey," says Charlie, smoothing red curls again, as the little girl brightens at the sight of the twins.

"And I don't think any kinds of children play by the rules, Del. That's why they're children."

Abby was much more enthusiastic about playing with someone else, taking Daniel's hand she practically dragged him over. She waved at Cadi happily before bouncing up and down like her mother liked to do.

"Okies, no whipped cream but you can have marshmallows and one wolf biscuit if you've been good. I made them to look like my Robb's big puppy," Del said, bouncing behind the counter as the twins stood at the edge trying to peek around the gap. "You can come and watch, just stay out of the hot stuff okies? Ohoh do they not? That would explain why Abby is always breaking them then and also trying to rule me."
