“ nah, its fiiiine, you don’t have to do anything for me. i’ve been doing just fine up until now without any christmas magic. ” kit was deliberately not answering the other question holly had asked, seeing as their living situation was best described as complicated. although that was description was barely even scratching the surface, how were they supposed to explain coherently they sometimes live in a box with a madwoman through space and other times above an ice-cream shop … when the room isn’t rented out by someone else.
there were so many more questions she wanted to ask, but it was pretty clear kit was trying to put an end to the conversation, and while she’d been raised in a place with a distinct lack of regular human people, she still got hints, and they were dropping a pretty big one. she’d have to hold her tongue, at least for a little while, try and dig a little deeper later, see how she could possibly help out...and there had to be some way, didn’t there? she’d figured that out once she’d talked to kit a little more. “oh yeah, about that. i mean, i guess maybe i just don’t know what they are yet? but i’m pretty sure i would know by now. i mean, cal and sandra discovered them around the same time, you know?”
