Fandom Library, Wednesday, November 13th

Today, Arden had come prepared. She brought a whole bowlful of candy--and put it in a classroom on a completely different floor.

And then when she walked into the Library, she simply announced, "Huh. I wonder what all that candy was doing in that classroom on the--" She barely had enough time to say what floor the classroom had been on before there was practically a stampede of gremlins heading for the door. She managed to leap out of the way in time to not get bit, clawed, or knocked down and trampled and that was really all she could have wanted.

With the gremlins out of the way, she was able to spend a relaxing afternoon putting together a display on various Indigeneous peoples who had lived in America pre-Columbus.

"Oh! Do you decorate it that night?" Arden asked, a little starry-eyed.

...Was she gonna get to decorate a tree?

"Of course we decorate the tree that night! Because Christmas can start once Thanksgiving is over," Gray explained again. "Which means once everyone is done with dessert and seconds and more dessert and second desserts and--" He flopped over onto the table. "Ugh, it takes forever. But the dishes can wait." Screw the dishes. Wasn't that what the dishwasher was for?

"Is your dorm room decorated?" Arden asked. "Or a common room or whatever? Or can Christmas not start anywhere until after Thanksgiving?"

Gray stared at Arden for several seconds before he said, "I could decorate my room." This thought had genuinely never occurred to him before, because, like. It was a rule. But Alastair wasn't here!

Alastair wasn't here. And Raiden didn't even go to his dorm room to get his feelings hurt about Gray's personal desire to just skip Thanksgiving entirely like they were in Europe or something.

"I-I mean, if Graham wouldn't mind. I guess I need to ask him..."

"I really don't think Graham would mind at all," Arden said with a laugh. "But yeah. You can have your whole room decorated with as much Christmas stuff as you want. Probably even get a little tree in a corner and everything."

And this was why you'd adopted her, Gray. All these great ideas.
