What a smug smile Nox has, right?

Christmas in Coreline

.............................................................................................................................

Nox brushed some falling snow off his coat. "I can't believe they activated the snow-weathering system. The last snow-flush was 3 years ago." His paw shot into his fold, grasping a peppermint candy, still warm from his pocket. "Some mint? " "Thanks" Zee flicked it into her mouth. "It's nice to see Coreline in some Christmas spirit again." The atmosphere was loud, the place was crowded. Snow coated Coreline’s layers. "Christmas is a time when I think people might actually not be all that bad." The stallkeeper across them, a penguin, handed Nox a steam swirling crepe. "Thanks! Does Miss Whiskers wish to have one as well?" Zee lurked at him, head tilted, ear twitching. "Asking kindly- fox-boy?" The bright Christmas lights painted a colorful silhouette around her frame. "Madam Whiskers accepts your offer. But without the chocolate." He threw a thumb toward Zee. "You heard the lady." His gaze darted back at her, paw dramatically over his heart. "Without the chocolate? Come on, that's like Christmas without a tree!" Zee chuckled, adjusting her glasses as they reflected glimpses of light. "Says the fox that uses the same old plastic tree for the fifth year now." Nox smirked, handing the shopkeeper the credits for the crepes. "Hey, I said without a tree - not wood!" The penguin delivered the second meal. “Here, madam-cat! Your Crepe. Come again!” He waved them off. Nox threw a fingergun toward the penguin, winking. “Keep your chin up! “ The penguin slightly furrowed a brow when Nox quickly turned. Taking Zee by her sleeve, Nox dragged her along through the snow. “Wait…Do penguins have chins?” She gently nudges his side. “Of course.” They pushed through crowds, enjoying their day.

Nox lost a bet and had to perform a snow angle, revealing a yellow patch beneath. Zee pointed out a reindeer walking past, its nose painted red. The scenery was inviting, with Christmas stalls lining the streets. They drank mulled wine and ate gingerbread until they came across a colorful Christmas tree. Presents scattered below, beautifully wrapped - red and green

Through the gentle snowfall, Zee began shivering. “Hey ehr… Want some?” Nox lifted his scarf, tail slowly swaying. Zee blinked, then quickly nodded. “Y-yeah, it-it's colder than I expected.” He gently wrapped a patch of scarf around them. “Heh, now we’re connected like a coffee and a Monday morning.” Her lips lingered a smile. By now, they stood face to face. Uttering a smirk Nox’s nose jerked up. The air smelled of fir. “All this happy mood… Makes one forget that we live inside a concrete cardhouse with no end. Yet I enjoy the atmosphere." Zee shifted, her bright emerald eyes shining like diamonds, reflecting as if a lighthouse shone through them. “It's nice to hear something positive from you once in a while.” She loosely took him by the hand, ears flattened. Nox twitched, tail puffing up. Both their eyes gleamed with Christmastime spirit as they slowly darted upward.Dangling between all the light a and commotion... a mistletoe.
