Cold as it was, it was warm and cozy in the cabin, and Toki had dozed off, curled up on the corner lounge near the piano. The knock on the door woke him up and he slipped off the seat, padding barefoot to the door to open it up and immediately hugged Stephanie. "Oh, you gots real cold on your way!" He said, "Come warms up! I musta eats too much, I falls right to sleeps!"
The musician nudged the door closed and helped her off with her coat, hanging it up on the coat hanger near the door. "Glad you could comes here. Cassie's still on de slopes, an' Soren's out hangings with Sable, I thinks." He scratched through his hair with a small smile.
The cabin was already slightly decorated for the winter holidays - sparkling paper snowflakes glinted in the firelight, dangling down from the high ceiling, and there were glowing fairylights hung against the chimney. There was even a place cleared out for a tree, just behind the couch.
