– ☾ – Chang’e pursed her lips, ready to rebuke his response of the situation not being ideal but remained silent, glad to see he corrected himself on the matter.
“Well of course I’m available, it’s not like I have too much to do on this moon anyways, besides, of course, making sure that everyone on earth even HAS a moon.”, she replied coolly, a smirk tugging at the corner of her lips. “Besides, Santa’s an immortal like myself. We must stick together, right? He’s one of the good ones after all and I would hate to wind up on the Naughty List.”
Rolling her eyes in slight jest, she rose from her throne and snapped her fingers, the throne room suddenly being doused in pitch blackness until she snapped her fingers and the stars overhead began to brighten one by one, illuminating the place with a brilliant shine until the entire sky was a dazzling display of twinkling lights. “I know I know, it’s spectacular. You’re welcome. I hope something like this will do for Big Red this year?”
“It is always better to work together than against each other, I agree. And still, thank you for entertaining the request even if it isn’t taking time from you. It’s a big help for us.” conversation outside of giving orders and sarcastic quips is a little out of Bernard’s wheelhouse; it’s not something he has to do much of and hasn’t had to do for a few hundred years. he can only hope he doesn’t stick his foot in his mouth before the end of this meeting.
he watches the dazzle of starts now up in the sky for a moment, still finding some awe in it even after a lifetime of magic and wonders. some things would always be beautiful.
“Yes, that should be absolutely great. Thank you so much for the favor!”
