There is a three year old by the fire. She is wearing green stockings, green boots, a short red dress and an elf hat complete with ears! The complete effect is, of course, a little three year old elf. The most impressive part of the whole ensemble is that there is only a hint of "I did it myself!" to the outfit. She is Very Proud

Only kids could pull off an outfit like that and look cute. He remembered some of his sons early ideas of 'totally amazing' outfits to wear out that he and Heidi had to convince them otherwise. Usually a cape and/or goggles was in the mix somewhere.

Nathan was back to wearing suits these days, but he was just wearing the button down shirt and trousers.

"Hey, your family just get back in?" He smiled and crouched down to be eye level with her. "All ready for Santa?" He had lost track of time around here, but a quick glance around reminded him it was almost holidays again.

"HI!" Boo offers him a huge sugar cookie grin and nods eagerly. "Uh-huh! Santa gonna come down'a chimmy!" She points in case he's unfamiliar with what a chimney is.

[waylostandfound]

"Yes he does. Been a really good girl for Santa right?" He figured she had of course, but fun to ask anyway.

[i_scare_monstrs]

"Um...."

She looks shifty.

"Maybe?"

[ohnoitsjools]

The grown 20-something pauses in his step when he sees the child elf. He looks confused round the bar before pointing to the door with his thumb.

"I think Father Christmas and all the other elves left without you," he says, completely serious.

[i_scare_monstrs]

Boo shakes her head seriously.
"Santa not come yet."

She Knows These Things.

[ohnoitsjools]

He gives the child elf a mildly confused look, which slowly fades to a grin.

"So, he's coming in later on, then? Good, because I wanna ask him for a new crash helmet and a football."

[i_scare_monstrs]

Boo nods and offers him a sugar cookie.
"You wat wif me.

Cookie?"

[wheatencrown]

Demeter giggles when she sees Boo,

"You look very festive, Boo."

[i_scare_monstrs]

Boo beams and abandons her cookies to run and hug Demeter.
"Meter!"

She hugs the goddess' legs and grins up at her.
"Hi!

Santa coming!"

[wheatencrown]

Boo gets swept up into a hug,

"He is and he'll smile to see you so dressed up."

[i_scare_monstrs]

Boo beams.

"Happy Santa? I has cookie 'n milk!" She points to the half eaten pile. It's the thought that counts, right?

[puckishly]

One fairy, lured by the bewitching scent of sugar and dairy, pops in.

"Why hullo, there. What sort of creature are you?"

[i_scare_monstrs]

Boo tilts her head at him.

"I Boo. Who you?"

[puckishly]

"Boo?" Puck repeats, a delighted grin edging up the corners of his mouth.

"How perfectly preposterous. Puck is my name, or as near to it as you are likely to get."

[i_scare_monstrs]

"HIII!" She grins at him.

"I elf for Santa." This is said Very Seriously.

It's cold out back, and a warm fire is bound to attract anyone who doesn't have the good sense to stay indoors. So it is that Sativa crouches by the fire and

- fish ? -

warm her hands.

"...That's a nice hat," she is compelled to tell to the moppet she spots with a sidelong glance.

[i_scare_monstrs]

Boo swallows the cookie she's munching on.

"T'anks!"

She watches the woman and tilts her head.
"ookie?"

[findthegeck]

Whatnow? Oh, cookie? "Thank you."

She takes the baked good and nibbles at it, knees drawn to her chest.

"'f'goob," she pronounces.

Some people just never learned not to talk with their mouth full.

Swallowing, she tells the cookie-giving sprog, "I'm Sativa."

[i_scare_monstrs]

"Hi! I Boo."

She tilts her head, studying the new person.
"More cookie?" She offers another one.
