Christmas Q&A
🕑 Added 2022-12-29 19:54:09 +0000 UTCX: Marcus, let’s start with you: What is your fondest Saturnalia memory?
M: The time when I chased Niall with a stick I stuck into a pile of shit.
N: That’s your favorite Saturnalia memory? What’s wrong with you?
M: The way you shrieked… It always makes me smile.
C, aiming her words at Niall: Why do you still choose to spend time with him?
N: …I’m not sure.
X: This question is for all of you. Do you have any embarrassing winter-related stories?
T: I, uh… I was overly excited about the first snowfall. I looked at the sky and almost fell into a well.
C: You should be more aware of your surroundings.
T: Yes. It was a mishap. I didn’t realize what beautiful little things snowflakes are. And you can actually catch them with your tongue. Quite lovely.
Camilla shakes her head.
N: Mine is the time I was chased with a stick that was stuck into a pile of crap.
M: Ha!
N: It’s not funny. I ran into tata’s friends. One of them strained their ankle and had to limp for months.
Camilla and Marcus snicker.
X: When it comes to mistletoes, who would take the target of their affections underneath it? Who would turn it into a mistle-foe?
C: If anyone would drag me underneath one, I’d punch them in the throat.
X: Yes, one vote for mistle-foe.
T: Ah! That peculiar little custom. I would love to take part in it.
X: You wouldn’t turn it into a throat-punching event?
T: Heavens, no! Unless it’s customary.
N: I would take certain someone underneath it. And…
M: Are you planning on kissing Hati?
N: NO!
M: Ha! Look at your little cheeks. So red.
Marcus pokes Niall. Niall grows increasingly angry.
X: What about you, Marcus?
M: I would love to be dragged underneath any and all mistletoes. My love knows no bounds.
X: Quinn?
Q: Depends on the person.
M: Would you smooch Hati?
Q: Don’t talk about them, you disgusting creature.
Marcus grins in contentment.
X: Quinn. How do Saturnalia and Yule compare?
Q: It’s not even a competition.
X: Yule is better? Please, elaborate.
Q: Yule is about family. Your loved ones. These idiots run around drunk in costumes and gamble and fornicate like the animals they are.
M&C&N: Hey!
Q: Truth hurts, you disgusting–
X: Yes, thank you, Quinn. Well, do you prefer cocoa with rum or mulled wine?
C: What is this rum?
Everyone is given some rum to taste.
Niall spits it out.
N: BAH! What poison is this?
Camilla smells the rum, then takes a sip. Her eyes squint in thought.
C: It’s not terrible.
She takes another sip.
C: Yes. It’s quite strong but it’s… peculiar.
She hums approvingly.
C: Quite strong. You said we’re supposed to drink this with this… ‘cocoa’? Another strong beverage?
Everyone is given some cocoa to taste.
Camilla nods.
C: Not strong. But sweet. It’s…
She smacks her lips.
C: Sweet. Yes. Excellent.
She fills her cup with rum, then adds some cocoa.
X: So, who prefers cocoa with rum?
M&N: It’s disgusting.
T: It is indeed quite strong. But it was a pleasant experience to taste something so new.
Camilla has drunk the whole cup and is pouring another one.
C: This is good.
M: Are you going to drink the whole bottle, mother drunkest?
M: Oops, I mean dearest.
Marcus grins and elbows Niall. Niall rolls his eyes. Camilla enjoys her drink.
Quinn’s eyes are fully widened.
X: Quinn? What’s wrong?
Q: …This beverage. This… cocoa.
They take a deep breath.
Q in a whispering voice: It’s the best thing I’ve ever tasted.
