Michael was pacing about the apartment trying to decide whether everything was ready. By the Christmas tree were two neat stacks of presents ready to be summoned away, one with presents for Iden's family and one with presents for Michael's family. On the hob were several dishes keeping warm until brunch at Iden's mum's house. In the refrigerator were several more dishes keeping cool until dinner at Michael's parents' house.
"Iden, are you ready to go?" Michael called from the kitchen.

After grabbing Inky with his free arm, Iden popped them all over to his mum's. The house was small and had a garden surrounding it. Inky slipped immediately from Iden's grasp and bounded up the few stairs to scratch at the door, which cued Moira to open the door. She was rather tall and thin with dark brown hair lightly streaked with gray. At the moment, her tan robes were obscured by a very happy dog that seemed to be trying to hug her.
"Inky, down," Iden said, following the dog up the stairs. "Hey, mum. Happy Christmas."
"Happy Christmas, Dear. Good to have you with us, Michael. Happy Christmas," Moira said ushering them in.
The house was warm and smelled of cider and cocoa. In the livingroom was a rather modest tree next to a couch. On the couch was a man about Iden's height and complexion but thinner and in rather conservative robes.
