"Can I put the star on top?"

CHRISTMAS PROMPTS. ( @cflight )

       ❛ Of course you can. ❜        In truth, Laurent was excited to do that himself, but he's always prioritised the feelings of others before his own. Besides, he's bound to have many more Christmases exactly like this one because of Isabelle and her decision to abandon the bad man she was stuck with before; he can let Ekira have the glory this time.        With none of the reluctance he momentarily experienced, Laurent picks up the glittery gold star and hands it over to them.        ❛ Can you reach? Or should I get Issa to lift you? ❜

        UH-OH!  He's discovered silly string!

       If he's honest, Laurent is grateful that his intelligence hasn't been underestimated by Darla. While he understands a typical adult's desire to attempt to preserve his innocence, the truth is that he's been privy to details far more mature than he should be for years— and he's only thirteen as it is.

       When he tilts his head slightly, as if to view her from a new perspective, his thick brown curls go with it, bouncing animatedly like a puppy's ears might.

       ❛ Do you not understand it because you can't or because you won't? ❜  Getting a solid read on Darla is difficult, though he suspects it's because she's hiding. A lot of people don't want their true selves to be known, and as such they pretend to be somebody else. Laurent has always been good at seeing through veneers of that nature— but that doesn't necessarily mean he knows the person behind it, only that it's there.  ❛ If it's because you won't, why is that? Are you afraid of yourself? ❜

@humanchewtoy confessed: “ I would stab someone for a big Mac right now.”

       Immediately, Laurent's eyes blow wide. While he knows that Stiles is joking ( well, probably... ), the assertion that he could kill someone for a bit of processed meat still shocks him.

       Quickly, the boy takes his hand, giving it a tight squeeze.

       ❛ Let's find you some food, monsieur. Before someone winds up hurt! ❜

        ❛ I've never had a warm sandwich before... ❜

       ❛ Mhm. Laurent loves the aquarium. He enjoys walking around it despite seeing it all already. ❜  And as long as the boy is happy, Isabelle is content to follow along. After everything Lily endured at the hands of Quinn, she'll honour her promise to protect Laurent until her dying breath; he may not be hers by blood but that doesn't matter to her one bit.  ❛ In fact, we're going there in an hour or so if you'd like to bring your little one along? ❜
