Christmas Eve, Second Floor Common Room

[carter-i-am.livejournal.com]

Sam sat in the common room, idly flipping through channels. No specials were on, and there was only so long she could watch the Yule log. She sipped occasionally from a glass of red wine.

She was trying very, very hard not to think of her father.

"He's sulking because he doesn't want to go through the portal back home," Xander said, glancing over at Jeremiah. "I told him it's safe this time and he's not going to turn any new colors, but he doesn't believe me."

"Portal back home?" John nods and gives a thumbs up. "Good way to travel. What color did he turn last time you went through?"

Xander blinks, and points at the lightly lavender-tinted frog. "That color. He started out green. Which I realize is not necessarily a given around here."

"Ah. Didn't know if chronic portal travel had givem him other colors as well. At least the saying, 'it's not easy being green' can't apply to him anymore."

Xander nodded. "I'm trying to find a good rhyme for 'It's not easy being lilac' but so far all I've got is 'poison sumac.'"
