Rayla sighed, “We’re really going to try hiding in a cabin again?”
“It’s the only place that can keep us out of the cold and I don’t see any other options. Since it isn’t our cabin, I doubt Aunt Amaya would come looking for us here,” Callum reassured.
Ezran looked excitedly at the place, grinning as he began running towards it, Bait in his arms. “Do you think they’ll have Christmas lights?” he shouted.
“Christmas?” Rayla said rather confused. She knew humans had some weird holidays, but never expected to actually have to know about them. She began thinking about the holidays that she and the other moonshadow elves used to celebrate, and how Runaan always made sure she was having a good time. She gave a half smile, knowing after the raid on the castle, Runaan may never look at her the same again. If he was even still alive.
“Not everyone celebrates Christmas,” Callum began, “but our mom and King Harrow, well er-dad, used to hang up lights every year and give each other presents. We still do, it just hasn’t been the same without mom…” he trailed off.
Rayla put her hand on Callum’s shoulder. She realized how much this meant to him.
“We’ll make this Christmas amazing, don’t worry,” she smiled at him.
They entered the cabin and took a second to look around. The wooden walls were a bit dusty as if no one had been here in awhile. The air was cold and heavy. Above them was a chandelier and worn wooden furniture. It wasn’t two stories like Callum and Ezran’s cabin, but it would do. It was all they had for now.
Zym sat comfortable on Rayla’s head, making faint approving noises as they looked around. They split up to search the place.
“I think I found something guys!” Ezran yelled a couple minutes later.
Rayla and Callum both started laughing as they walked into a storage room that Ezran managed to find. He was entangled in many feet of Christmas lights he had pulled out of one of the boxes.
“Uh, a little help,” he smiled helplessly.
“You-” Callum started but couldn’t finish as he was laughing too hard.
Rayla rolled her eyes and began trying to untangle Ezran.
They went outside, bringing the many boxes of Christmas decorations with them. Zym playfully jumped into a box of wreaths, coming up with one around his neck.
“This is unusual, but I like it,” Rayla chuckled as she jumped up to the roof and began putting up the lights.
Callum looked at her and smiled, “I had a feeling you would.”
Suddenly, a cold rush hit the back of Rayla’s head. She turned around, narrowing her eyes. Callum was still engaged in untangling all the lights, while Ezran looked innocently at Rayla.
“Oh you’re so dead,” she laughed as she jumped down, using her fast reflexes to quickly create a snowball and pelt it at Ezran.
Ezran laughed and hid behind a nearby tree. Callum confusedly turned around and realized what was happening. It was too late though, as Ezran hit him with one of his snowballs. He turned around slowly.
“You guys are asking for it,” he smirked.
