Christmas Morning

Kate and Tess have woken up together and made breakfast; at the same time, Johnny and Damien have also awoken to join them for Christmas morning, both feeling a little nervous about being around others as a couple. Breakfast is served, and everyone is sitting down to the meal.

Kate smiles as she pours out juice fer everyone, t'go with our coffee. "I do know Luke a little. He's a very polite young man; I like him." I duck my head in a nod as I pour syrup over my pancakes. "Yeah, he's real nice." She pauses and adds "The tavern sounds lovely. I've never been much for visiting ale houses, but maybe I should stop by and wish them well."

I blink a bit at that, but I guess it is hard t'picture Kate hangin' 'round the Tavern with a beer in her hand. "'F you go earlier it ain't rowdy, and they do have food now," I tell her.

She asks Damien how their work's goin', and they look 'way from Tess t'answer. Tess is frownin' a little and I catch her eye 'n glare, 'cause I bet she's bin givin' Damien a hard time. "Are you back t'work soon?" I ask Tess.
