Town Hall, Monday

... This BB gun business took more scrutiny than Nathan had originally anticipated. Yes, he knew the importance of choosing the right firearm in most other situations, but he didn't realise that even in the realm of non-lethal...

Well.

He still had his nose in a catalogue, was the thing, even if Jan was busy trying to climb up onto his desk. (The practice was good for her.) "Go practice your block-throwing," Nathan said idly, when it finally got to be enough.

She was getting to be quite accurate with those blocks. It was promising.

Hey, she was getting better at it. "So, we don't need to get her a tree or anything, right?"

Re: Talk to Cable

[spring-lost.livejournal.com]

"...Why would we get her a tree?" Nate asked, looking up. He was a little fail about this Christmas thing.

Re: Talk to Cable

[mouthy-merc.livejournal.com]

He totally was.

"Christmas? Dear god, do I need to buy all the heart warming Christmas classics and make you mainline them?"

Re: Talk to Cable

[spring-lost.livejournal.com]

... Oh. Right.

Not that he'd in a million years admit to deferring to Wade on this score, but-- "Do you think we should get her a tree?" he asked. "It honestly slipped my mind."

"Maybe a nice plastic one?"

Re: Talk to Cable

[spring-lost.livejournal.com]

"Fine," Nate said, after a beat, "But you're not picking the decorations..." And god, why was he now giving serious thought to sitting down with Jan to watch some of those Christmas movies? He'd been around Wade too long.

He looked pensive.

"You get to bake the cookies and smile affectionately at Jan then!"

Re: Talk to Cable

[spring-lost.livejournal.com]

"I'm not baking anything," Nate shot back. You... really didn't want him to cook, Wade. Remember that one? Remember? "But I was thinking... maybe some holiday classics... She is in the right age-range."

Oh, how the mighty had fallen.

"Liiiike the Grinch?"

Re: Talk to Cable

[spring-lost.livejournal.com]

"...Might be good to give her a childhood villain we can later set up as a target," Nate mused.

Re: Talk to Cable

[mouthy-merc.livejournal.com]

Wade took a seat on the edge of the desk. "Hey, he reforms in the end."

Re: Talk to Cable

[spring-lost.livejournal.com]

"Also a good point," Nate said, thoughtfully. "But it's a good idea to pick a few of them for her... Hm."

A second later, he was shoving the catalogue with the BB guns at Wade. "Opinions?"

Re: Talk to Cable

[mouthy-merc.livejournal.com]

"Ooo! Red Rider! Red Rider!"

SHOOT AN EYE OUT!

Re: Talk to Cable

[spring-lost.livejournal.com]

"Might help her adjust to the kickback..."

Re: Talk to Cable

[mouthy-merc.livejournal.com]

Wade just eyed him. "Yeah, marathon tomorrow."

Re: Talk to Cable

[spring-lost.livejournal.com]

Nate shot him a faintly amused look back. "Marathon tomorrow," he acquiesced. "I'm not going to fight you on matters of the TV."

Re: Talk to Cable

[mouthy-merc.livejournal.com]

"Aww, you're learnin'!"

Re: Talk to Cable

[spring-lost.livejournal.com]

"Doubtful," Nate said. Then, after a short pause, he asked - almost hesitant, but not quite - "Did you want to do anything else for Christmas?"

He really was learning.
