[ But the laughter doesn't last long because now he realizes he was being a bummer and he knows she's probably disheartened or disappointed. Or worse, both. Tech frowns. ]
look, i'm sorry. if you wanna get me something, i'm not gonna protest it. it's mostly since jaskier left, i haven't been feeling the holiday spirit. the first time i ever celebrated was with him, and all this christmas bs is just reminding me he's not here, yanno?
i'm fine, i'm fine. i don't wanna talk about it. i just wanted to give you the heads up that's where i'm at. so don't let me be the scrooge to your holiday joy. if you wanna have a little celebration, i'll be there. gotta get my head outta my ass by the 26th anyway cuz i promised i'd celebrate 'boxing day' with baph.
[ He is being a bummer, TBH. But it's okay. She gets it. Jaskier leaving had left Tech in a state. She doesn't want to remind him of that. ]
It's okay, Tech. I understand. Besides, I got you a set of pajamas and was going to make you some sugar cookies. That's all. I can sneak the pajamas into your laundry. As for myself, I have a lot of cookies I'm planning to bake for others. That's a lot of deliveries for me so I'll be busy.
[ It's a good thing she had decided against getting him a kitten! Or had planned a big celebration. Or anything like that. >_< ]
Baph invited me over for that. He tried explaining the holiday to me but I still DGI. I'm going to stay long enough as to not be considered rude. You two need your alone time.
idk. from my understanding, it's basically the same thing as christmas but just the day after? i guess we'll see if he has any specific traditions to the way he celebrates his.
maybe he'll bust out the 'figgy pudding' or whatever. or maybe you should get the recipe and make some to bring over....lol. you're the resident baker.
even when it comes to weird, obscure victorian era desserts....
Oh, no. I already shot that idea down. I don't like most puddings and I don't like baking with sherry. It's like cooking with potpourri. It's gross. I am going to make him some mincemeat pies though. I can do that for him.
i'm sure he'll love it. i appreciate all you do for him and i'm sure he does, too. i'd like to hope it gives him a small sense of family he's missing since all the shit that happened back in his world.
[ Tech's careful with how he phrases it because he doesn't know if Baphomet told Kate about his parents' death. If he hadn't yet, then it's probably something best coming from Baphomet's mouth. It's his story to share. But if he already told Kate, then at least she'll know exactly what Tech means when he references shit from Baphomet's world.]
I'm sure that he does too. Thank you Tech. It's always good to hear that my efforts are appreciated.
[ Because she does try! However, if she's not careful she'll just end up adopting all of Tech's friends as her own much like a certain boomkin named Rue.
Baph and Kate have been texting. She knows about his parents being dead. It's tragic. ]
But it doesn't feel like an effort! Just the right thing to do.
doing the right thing, huh? wild to be in a place where we're not being driven to make the worst possible choices at all times. the trials here can kinda suck, but they got nothing on hell.
[ Ah. Fond memories. ]
anyway, now that the fae shit is done...i'm gonna go get fucked up. i'll text if i run into trouble.
[ Sorry, Kate. Your son is a mess right now. But he'll continue to insist he's Doing Fine. ]
The Trials ultimately come to interpersonal communication. Usually.
[ She's heard rumors of fuck lightning. What's that about? She may not want to know. ]
Hell was straight up torture and pain and so far, I've not experienced a trial that had made me think Hell was easier. Fuck Hell.
[ She is worried but she's not going to let it show. He's hurting, she can feel it, but she can't do anything about it. She needs a drink. Here's to healthy family coping mechanisms! ]
You do that. Text me if you're going to be out of it for longer than a couple of days okay? If you can. Take care. Remember that I love you.
