Ace is nothing if not persistant. And Christmas really is her very favorite holiday (even if she can't quite get behind the religion of it all).

Thus?

She's going to make another attempt at sharing her fondness of the Christmas season.

We're so sorry, Lissar.

"If there are Christmas trees again I shall be very annoyed." Lissar says, tugging her scarf tightly.

[nitro-is-ace.livejournal.com]

"There's nothing wrong with Christmas trees. In general, anyway, those were just very weird." Ace protests, unlocking the TARDIS. "Besides, I have something else in mind this year."

[lissla-lissar.livejournal.com]

"Fear ignites in my heart." But she's laughing, and following.

With her gun under her arm, yes.

Ace sighs dramatically as she starts setting coordinates.
"Oh ye of little faith. A few crazy fir trees, and you'd think I do that sort of thing on a regular basis."

She does. That is besides the point. Very besides.

"And a trip to Cleveland." Lissar adds, "Sentient cookie dough? Attack marbles?"

[nitro-is-ace.livejournal.com]

"I was only peripherally involved in the trip to Cleveland, the cookie dough can at least be partly blamed on Raven, and... yeah, the marbles were weird." She shrugs. "Hang on to something."

Lissar...looks around helplessly, and finally decides that a death-grip on the back of Ace's coat is probably the safest thing in there.

She can do it, too.

She's been working on touch.

"Meep?" She jumps slightly, startled, but there's no time to be startled later as she works on keeping her ship on course. This is actually much easier to do with Spoon about, but there's no way she'll tell Lissar that.

It'll be fine.

Really.

"I don't want to touch anything dangerous!" Lissar points out, "You are no danger to me!"

[nitro-is-ace.livejournal.com]

"You sure know how to stroke a girl's ego." Ace snorts. "Besides, you wouldn't touch anything dangerous. Well, not immediately dangerous. Well..."

She peers thoughtfully over her shoulder.

"On second thought, stay right there."

[lissla-lissar.livejournal.com]

"I am staying right here." Lissar agrees, digging her fingers in harder. "When does the shaking stop?"

[nitro-is-ace.livejournal.com]

"When we land." Ace retorts, leaving out the other option. She doesn't think Lissar wants to hear about crashing. "And you don't need to worry 'bout corsets and such this time."

[lissla-lissar.livejournal.com]

"This is good, because I greatly dislike them." Lissar agrees, closing her eyes and waiting for it to be over.

[nitro-is-ace.livejournal.com]

"You an' me both. Spoon liked them though." Or rather, taking them off.

Hrm. Christmas present idea!

The rotor slows, stops, and the ship settles around it.

[lissla-lissar.livejournal.com]

Lissar cracks her eyes open when they land, "He is mad." she points out.

[nitro-is-ace.livejournal.com]

"Mmmm." Ace can't argue that, because it's rather true. "And you're flyin' with the one that married the crazy."

[lissla-lissar.livejournal.com]

"I, too, am mad." Lissar points out cheerfully, "I have given my bed over to a newly-hearted young man and have been sleeping with my beloved in the garage."

[nitro-is-ace.livejournal.com]

"Right, c'mon. We can go be mad t'gether outside." Ace snorts, rolling her eyes and pulling the hand-brake on while heading out the door.

Because it's silly to stand around talking when you can go see something like this (http://www.ohlalaparis.com/photos/uncategorized/lyonlights120608.jpg).

[lissla-lissar.livejournal.com]

Lissar stares, and she admits it.

It's.




Well, rather a lot like some bits of her father's castle, but she'd die before admitting that to Ace.

[nitro-is-ace.livejournal.com]

No standing and staring when you're with Ace! She is already heading off down the street, weaving through the crowds expertly and calling to Lissar as she goes.

"C'mon, Lissar! Lots t'see, no time t'stand about gapin'!" And there is, really. The whole town is alight (http://www.ohlalaparis.com/photos/uncategorized/lyonlights120606.jpg) tonight.

[lissla-lissar.livejournal.com]

"It...it is very beautiful." Lissar finally says. Faintly.

[nitro-is-ace.livejournal.com]

"Lyon's Festival of Lights." Ace calls over her shoulders. Down the alleyway they pass, even the stairwell (http://farm1.static.flickr.com/126/320884158_b7c4a1534e.jpg?v=0) is brightly alight. "Started as more of a religious holiday, but it... grew, rather."

[lissla-lissar.livejournal.com]

"It is very light." Lissar agrees, shaking her head and keeping close, "I like it better than the trees."

[nitro-is-ace.livejournal.com]

"Well of course. The lights aren't trying to kill us." Ace replies as they skirt past a fountain full of fish (http://i247.photobucket.com/albums/gg151/Shamelesswords/LightFestival2008097.jpg) and under a canopy of glittering stars (http://i247.photobucket.com/albums/gg151/Shamelesswords/LightFestival2008073.jpg).
