This makes it official!
Who: Torque and Iona What: Assembling of a Christmas Tree When: Sunday evening Where: Their house!
There had been some discussion, but it hadn't really taken Torque and Iona very long to come to the decision that their living together would be far easier than them living apart. Mating hadn't changed their schedules, unfortunately, and since it was even more necessary that they be together now and Iona had a house on the lake that was, by all intents and purposes, far too big for just her by herself, she'd made the offer and Torque had accepted. They'd spent the last week moving his things in to mesh with hers, and she'd spent the better part of the weekend decorating Patience's new room in all things Brave as the toddler had requested as part of her Christmas present from Iona. It was tiring work, but pleasing as Iona didn't want to push her new role in Patience's life, but enjoyed doting on her all the same. Therefore, she might've gone a little overboard in the Brave paraphernalia, but who could blame her?
Now everything was settled moving-wise and they were left to tend to the matter of Christmas, which had sort of snuck up on them, or at least Iona, as she hadn't gotten around to decorating a single thing before now. They'd picked out a live Christmas tree, or rather, they had let Patience pick it, and now they were left with the matter of getting it up and decorated.
"Are we sure this is going to fit?" Iona asked, her bottom lip caught between her teeth as she watched her boyfriend wrestle in the pine tree by the grace of his were strength alone. The living room had very high ceilings, far higher than the tree was, but Iona had seen Christmas Vacation enough by now to be wary.
