No Breaks?

I have NO intention of abandoning this blog, I’m just letting you know that activity may be severely limited for the recent foreseeable future. Thanks everyone! Hope to be back soon!

I have to be honest, I like all the Alvins I follow. None of them are bad and all of them are different enough from each other while also being considerably accurate. So you definitely should check out @broadswordandpistol @fruitymerchant @bonafidebittersweet .. and even @tragic-charismatic … they’re all really good… … edit: FFFFFF. AND @guard-breaker too..

“It’s urgent that I return to Lady Lake as soon as possible.” 

It was obvious he mistook the information as a person, not a place. Easy mistake to make given the woman spoke of a location from an entirely different world.

“What has you around these parts, if you don’t mind my askin’?”

“Simple answer, my friend. I’m a salesman! I go wherever the business takes me. And I got a tip that this area is a gold mine at the moment. So here I am!” He smirked, polishing off another shot.

“Actually, yes. If you’d be so kind… I could use directions to the closest town.” 

Alvin opened his arms and spun around demonstratively, “You’re in the nearest town. This is Duval, won’t find better bar food anywhere else in Elympios.” He put on a friendly smile, “Course, you’re probably not looking for the bar. You seem like the Reize Maxian type. Unfortunately you’re on the wrong side of the bridge.”

“Non alcoholic? Where’s the fun in that? Hit me with a scotch, make it a strong one too, if you would my good man.” Glancing around the new establishment, Alvin leaned back against the bar as he took it all in, “Nice place ya got here. You the owner?”

He raised his glass in a playful toast.

“A conservationist... I like it...” he winked and moved his lips affectionately against hers when she initiated the kiss. Letting the embrace linger for a few moments, he pulled away slowly and brushed his lips against her ear to whisper sweetly, “Merry Christmas, sugar. Here’s to our first one as a couple.”

“That doesn’t seem quite as fun as the other option...” He glanced into her eyes teasingly, leaning in part of the way but stopping to whisper rather than letting his lips touch hers. “You can always throw it away... your call, babe.”

“Sides, my little lady would be extremely upset if I wasn’t looking forward to Christmas.”

“The year is seriously almost over already? Damn. Where the hell has all the time gone?”

“You’re telling me. And I ain’t getting any younger,” he commented as he heard the other man speak out at the bar they were both at.

I don’t want to feel like a loner on this

   ❛My mom taught me how, I wanted to wrap one of Leia’s gifts.❜  he effortlessly ignores alvin’s irritated jabs while stepping back to allow the merchant to work on his own with no help.  ❛You’re pretty good at learning things, and you just got a demonstration. You should be fine, all it takes is a little practice.❜

“Well look at you, teaching your elders a thing or two. You’ve come a long way from the little scamp I saved in Fenmont that day,” his mood improved as they spoke, it would seem his tantrum was over. Taking the gift, he followed the steps Jude had gone over. The ending result wasn’t the most beautiful gift in the world, but it did the trick. With a few more, Alvin would undoubtedly get the hang of it.

   ❛Don’t get mad, I’m trying to help you.❜  this looks like a baby that got his hands on the wrapping paper. what kind of person is he if he can’t even wrap a simple gift…  ❛Look,❜  jude motions to it all, ripping it all apart and shoving that mess aside to cut out a piece that fits the box before laying the box in the center of the paper.  ❛You do this. Come over here and look, I can’t teach you if you’re not watching. This goes here… and…❜  he folds the paper in with precision, as though he’s been born to do something that looks incredibly easy when he does it himself.  ❛… and then you tape it here… and you’re done. See? Its not so hard.❜ 

“Yeah yeah... I think I got it. Let me try this one,” he said, grabbing for one of the smaller gifts.

happy holidays!! ☆*･゜ﾟ･*(^O^)/*･゜ﾟ･*☆
