239/240 - Presents

[notcalledlizzie]

Well, she's managed to give some of them out. She'd see what more she'd manage today, and then she'd do the rest on January 7th.

Even looking at the brightly wrapped presents, she still doesn't really feel that Christmasy. She wonders if it's the place, or the circumstances or both.

She'll go to Midnight Mass later. See if that makes any difference.


[[ooc: There are presents for, uh, people. Yeah. I've misplaced the list. Oops? (It's on paper! I do so well with bits of paper!]]

"We'll have to work out another field trip like Chicago," Aeryn says, finally forcing herself to look up from the book.

Elizabeth nods, bouncing slightly on her bed. "Yeah, it should be really easy to wrangle. And Janet can probably persuade Professor Pierson to chaperone again. Or if not, I'll ask Professor Cregg. It'll be fun!"

"I'm looking forward to it," Aeryn says, automatically dismissing the 'I hope I'm here for it' thought that enters her mind. She's getting good at that. "You're not going home at all for Chrissmass?"

Elizabeth looks away briefly, as she shakes her head. "No, I'm not," she replies. "I can't, so..." She sighs. "Just staying here. Sam and I are going to go to the beach-thing in the Danger Shop, and just relax. Or at least, that's the plan."

She hadn't meant to bring up anything bad, so she tries to change the subject a little. "I haven't seen anyone around," Aeryn says. "I thought more people would be staying."

Elizabeth shrugs. "Well, I guess some people are taking advantage of the break to head away somewhere. I considered it myself, but just didn't get around to booking a flight or anything in the end."


[[ooc: Gotta head to work in a couple of minutes :(]]

"Well. I'm sure there's got to be some way to make it worth staying."


[I'm gonna be gone soon too.]

She grins. "I'm just gonna kick back and relax, I think," Elizabeth nods. "I've not had the chance to really do that in a while, so hopefully things will be quiet and we won't get attacked by killer snowmen or anything!"
