Who: Nicholas D. Wolfwood and YOU
What: Saint Nick is coming to town and he's bringing you a present whether you like it or not-
When: It's CHRISTMAS TIME BAYBEE
Where: Wherever your character is you cannot escape
Warnings: Wolfwood's big mouth otherwise N/A, will mark in individual threads if needed!
[You know...it's been a year since he's done this. A year since he showed up. And, to be honest, Wolfwood didn't think he'd be here long enough to be conscripted to do it again.

...Hell, he didn't think he'd be ASKED to do this again. It's not like he makes a very cheerful Saint Nick.

But! He is here!! Wolfwood has actually been up early (which his partners will have noticed, they will have found him just entirely missing that morning no matter how early they woke), first taking a pitstop at Ydalir's to grab up his sack of presents. There are so many more this year than the last, and it's a good thing he has Moder as his steed to help him carry them on her back. He's dressed the part, with a heavy hat that looks kindof silly since he doesn't usually wear them, and a pair of snowboots to match. Last year he was missing the beard, but this year he's actually grown his facial hair out longer than usual. Not a full-on beard, but just on the edge, to the point where it's definitely noticeable. One thing he has this year that he didn't last year is his trusty companion Angelina, who is running through the snow like :D??!!! EXCITED, so you will get to greet her when you receive your gift (if you do not like dogs she will be omitted from the equation, Wolfwood will have her stay outside, she's a very good girl who can be patient and wait with Moder if needed).

You'd better watch out.]

[*ankle.]

Good -- means I got one less reason t'worry about ya. [he means it gently, of course. his smile is sure lighthearted enough as he offers the thermoses.]

Coffee 'n broth. Keep ya goin', darlin'.

[bats his lashes... does he get... an kiss?]

[Man wouldn't it be sad if Wolfwood slid off Moder here and broke his ONLY good ankle. He'd be so mad.

Fortunately!! That doesn't happen. Snow is soft, just like sand.

He'll take both of them gratefully, and yes, without even needing to vie further, Wolfwood leans forward on the balls of his feet and presses a soft, lingering kiss to Livio's lips.]

Thanks, sweetheart. Hold on, you ain't goin' anywhere-

[He quips suddenly, dropping his present bag off his shoulder.]

I got somethin' for you. Well, somethin' plural.

[yeah, the "sweetheart" makes his heart breakdance. that will never stop. the blush intensifies when he realizes the coincidence of being saint nick's next stop...]

Plural? Jeez... Didn't even want anything for me... [pouting. he wanted things for wolfwood and vash, mostly. like, pass his presents onward and such. but he'll accept whatever nick hands him, nonetheless.]

Uh huh. One from Ydalir and Heimr, and one from me. Mine first-

[He wishes it was like, MORE of a thing, but hey...Wolfwood will pull it out of his pocket regardless, pressing it gently into Livio's larger palm. It's a tiny wooden figurine of a bear standing on its hind legs, carved out of whatever wood Wolfwood could find that looked both dry and uncorrupted. It's been whittled by hand, with a little hole drilled at the top for a piece of twine to be tied through so he can wear it if he likes.]

It ain't much, but. I wanted t'make you somethin'.

[THREE OF THEM... and of course he's already weeping at the first. wolfwood knows exactly what he's doing. this shouldn't be surprising at all. livio can tell before nick even opens his mouth that he carved it by hand, and the mere concept of the effort and love put into it is overwhelming. that, and he is not immune to cute, tiny things.

even if it's solid wood, he holds it carefully in his palm like it's the most delicate crystal. and those big, wet eyes? wolfwood is already getting them again. and a tiny little cracked voice, too.]

Don't say it ain't much. It's everything. I love it. Love you.

Yeah?

[Wolfwood actually sounds a little surprised, even though he has no real reason to be. Of course Livio would have loved it. He probably would have loved it if Wolfwood just handed him a lump of coal and nothing else, like. That's the type of person he is.

He reaches up and puts a hand on Livio's shoulder, and when that inevitably gets him to look down, Wolfwood will surprise him with another kiss.]

I'm glad. I missed out on a lotta years of bein' able to do shit like this, so. It's nice to be able to make up for it now.

[it's true, livio would still love a lump of coal. but he also knows nick wouldn't actually get that for him, except maybe as a joke.

of course, he also falls for the move. maybe they bump foreheads a little, because his first instinct was also to go for a kiss... thankfully, he doesn't bonk wolfwood too hard, and he can laugh about it.]

I'm glad ya get the chance, too. Real glad to get to share it with ya. Shame I don't have my gift fer you with me... Maybe when ya get home tonight?

[Honestly, them accidentally knocking together just makes him laugh again, too. It's probably the best his mood has been all day, between lugging heavy presents around, the cold, and...other things he's trying not to think about.]

Sounds good to me.

[When he gets home...Wolfwood unconsciously reaches up to tug his hat a little more securely onto his head.]

I'll just hafta get you to make it up to me by kissin' me more. Sound fair?

Y-yeah. More'n fair. Sounds like I still get the best end o' the deal.

[if his face is red, it's the cold, and definitely not because he's still as shy as the first day they talked about their feelings. livio very deliberately tucks the bear away deep in a pocket, so that it stays safe. he'll have to figure out how he wants to wear it on his person later.

and if he looks up again with expectation in his gaze, it's only because he was hoping for a "gift" from heimr and ydalir that he could turn around and use to comfort the people in his life like wolfwood... he doesn't know how, but he'll just have to find out!]

[It doesn't take Wolfwood long to remember that ah, yes, he has more things...so he'll rummage in his bag until he pulls out the big box meant for Livio. He gives it a thoughtful shake, not too much just in case it's breakable, before handing it off.]

Okay, I don't know what's in this one. We'll both be surprised.

[And what's in it, you may ask...?

It's a bunch of yarn skeins, as well as a a set of knitting needles, crochet needles, and little book that illustrates easy yarn creations that one can crochet or knit, such as scarves and doilies. There are even little simple creature designs to be made with yarn, and the yarn comes in basically any color Livio wants.]
