Christmas Lights- Gravesmarket

Graverobber’s natural wariness melted into mirth as he saw the look upon Shilo’s face. It was worth looking stupid just for that , even though she hid her smile behind a pale hand. He just wanted this night to be easy, to give her this wish of a tree without having to fight or run for their lives. She’d been through so much, if he could give her that, and see the light of wonder in her eyes, it would be the only present he’d need this Christmas. Her sass was something else about her that he loved and he liked to bait it sometimes. Sure enough she dealt it out now. “Oh yeah.. “ He tried to remember the movie. “They’re the ones with swords and bows, and some mighty fine fightin’ skills right ? Sure, that figures, and you’d be a lot more help to this Santa as one of those, than one who can just wrap presents and wrangle reindeer.” A dark brow arched and he put on a look of mock offence at her take on his motivation. “And..what girls? Let me tell ya, you’re gonna be the only girl that gets to see me in this get-up. Ain’t havin’ those Zee’d up moochers thinkin’ they’re gonna get some Glow for free from ol’ Santa. Oh no.” Another though crossed his mind and his smile gained a somewhat lascivious twist. “ As to the sittin’ on knees.. why don’t you try that out when we get home, might be a surprise present waitin’ for you.” He wasn’t sure if she’d slap him or chase him the last couple of blocks home but he offered his gloved hand as invitation.. the smirk growing wider.

Long before she had left her cage, Shilo had loved movies of fantasy and sci-fi, giving her a chance to leave her world behind- the sickness, the lies and bullshit… The Lord of the Rings had been her favourite and not only for the story and characters.

But because it showed the world, the landscape as it had once been.

Green lush trees, rolling valleys and mountains, blue sky and puffy perfect white clouds. Life. It could have almost been a perfect trick of movie magic, where the actuality of it true. Shilo had glimpses of such a world beyond Sanitarium, on the island she and Graves had visited years before.

There had been life there… green trees and teal grass. Hell, there was even the fucking sun. But that paradise didn’t last, for they had priorities here. But her thoughts strayed to that island and Dorner more than once.

Back in the present, that smirk on his face and that gracious gesture of his outstretched hand made the young cock her brow further, hands resting on her shapely hips. “I thought we said no presents this year.” Money had been tight and with the crackdowns of various busy allies, she and GraveRobber had used their money for only the necessities, not for pleasure.

However, always the showman! So Shilo nibbled her bottom lip and eyed his offered hand a moment longer, before adjusting the backpack on her shoulder and took his hand. “Alright, Sandy Claus.” Teased the shorter woman. “But you should know, I’ve been awfully naughty this year.”
