Moctezuma, Christmas Day

After wishfully believing Val would let them sleep in after their trek to the local cathedral to celebrate Midnight Mass with the rest of their neighbors (yeah, no way. She was up at 5:30, just like every other morning), Ben was--in the spirit of the season--bringing Ender and Big Val giant mugs of coffee from the kitchen while Little Val gleefully made confetti from wrapping paper in the living room.

The house was smelling promisingly of pork and chicken tamales--they were trying to embrace the local traditions this year, and Ben was always in favor of experimenting with anything food related.

"Merry Christmas," he said, heading back into the living room levitating two coffee mugs in front of him as he held his own in his hand. Force powers were so handy.

"Merry Christmas," Ender agreed.

He held up a particularly ridiculous Santa hat. "Our little helper just popped by to insist you wear this," he said.

Well, both of them, but he didn't feel the need to point that out.

"Stop trying to get out of it," Ender said, tossing the hat his way.
endsthegame: (dorky grin)

"No, I look forward to you putting on that hat," Ender said, grinning.

"I'm just going to enjoy my coffee over here," Val announced, hiding her smile behind the mug.

Ender laughed softly. "Okay," he said, reaching into his pocket, "Please hug your dad for a picture, Val..."

He raised his communicator, camera ready.

"Ah, but you're cuter," Ender said, snapping a few pictures in rapid succession. "Hence the pictures."
endsthegame: (determined set)

"They're all good family memories," Ender said, lowering the camera. "And remember how many of them involve Val in embarrassing poses, too."
endsthegame: (*snerk*)

"Or the one with the fancy spork," Ender reminded him.

"We can probably even blow it up so large, she'll never look us in the eye again," Ender said, smiling.

Ender laughed softly. "Don't worry, Val," he said. "In a week or three, we'll get started on your brother, and you can push the humiliation onto someone else."
endsthegame: (*snerk*)

Ender smiled. "But shared misery..."

"They might gang up on us," Ender pointed out.

"And those days will pass in a rush, and then where will we be?"

Ender laughed softly. "Look at her face," he said. "Keep dreaming."
