Fifth Floor Common Room, Friday morning

[willbethenight.livejournal.com]

Bruce arrived back in Fandom very early Friday morning after his time spent training with the boxer, Ted Grant. While Grant really did have a lot to teach, Bruce felt that his lifestyle outside the ring was a little too chaotic to maintain adequate instruction. So Bruce learned what he could, mapped out how to incorporate it into his training, and left.

And then as soon as he got back, he was assaulted with snow.

After going to his room and changing into something that wasn't soaking wet from Cara's attack, he stopped in the common room to make some hot cocoa. With marshmallows, yes. And if anyone said anything about it... well, he'd just bribe them with more cocoa. He made plenty.

Now it was her time to shrug. "It's okay, you don't have to go and wade in the snow if you don't want." When put like that, she didn't feel much like it, but then again, the reward of seeing some snowmen around was probably worth it.

"Say, what did you usually do for Christmas?"

"There was no Christmas," Bod answered, shaking his head. "I grew up in a graveyard with the ghosts. They didn't really celebrate so I didn't celebrate."

This would be her shocked face. "Oh. I'm...sorry to hear that." Just how many years had he gone on without gifts!? That could only mean one thing for Zatanna.

Bod was getting a tie too. Well, perhaps not a tie, but a gift as well.

"They didn't celebrate because the didn't want to, or they didn't know about it? I'm sorry, it just doesn't make sense. Do you like ties?" Because Zee did a lot of sense.

"Some of them knew about it but they were ghosts," he said and shrugged, not seeming too upset about it. "There really was no need for a big celebration since they couldn't eat or buy presents or anything like that. Since I was there, I just followed along."

He shrugged again and smiled at her last question.

"I like ties. I don't wear them often but I like them."

"I see." Even then, she would have liked to add that if the ghosts were apparently taking care of him, they should had tried to be more festive. But oh well. There wasn't much else to add on the subject.

"Good! I'm getting you one. No objections. I'm being pushy, I know, but it's no big deal." Somehow she supposed Bod wouldn't like the singing tie neither. Poor tie. And while she was at it she probably needed a gift for Elphaba too.

"That's kind of you," he said and smiled. "It might be the only present I get this Christmas and it's appreciated. A tie will be useful for the next formal event."

She shrugged, looking away so she didn't have to pretend there wasn't a faint tone of pink on her face. "Nah, it's okay. Nob- I mean, everybody should get a present on Christmas, so if this is the only for you, then it's my pleasure."

She just casually forgot to mention she wasn't getting any for herself. Or perhaps...? Well, now I need to check the house. "You might need to wait until the 26th though."

"It's fine, it's no trouble and you can just take your time," Bod said, waving a hand. "I don't plan on going anywhere save for maybe into town to get some air."

He shrugged and smiled lightly in her direction.

"I'll be here."
