I started writing these to procrastinate from an essay. Ooops. Hopefully this will kind of make up for my unfinished and on semi-hiatus fics which I'm trying REALLY hard to get chapters finished for in time for Christmas presents. Masters courses are scary.
I've called this an Advent calendar, but as you may have noticed it's starting a week late (reason: aforementioned essay). So it'll go on until January 1st to make up for that. Note: though you get one "door" every day, some of the entries take place on the same day as each other.
Enjoy your little Advent calendar, courtesy of our grumpy Lion.

Look, when I said I'd 'turn up' for this stupid Christmas/Hannukah/Solstice/Shopping/whatever holiday that lot want to celebrate, I didn't mean that I'd help.
So would someone kindly tell me why I'm currently stuck somewhere in the middle of a forest with no idea where I am or where my supposed guide has got to?
All I know is that just after we finished breakfast this morning, I got shoved out of the door along with Tsubasa and got told to "go and find some nice decorations, Kyouya, thank you! And don't come back too early, you'll ruin the surprise!"
First of all, what surprise? It's not even the right day yet, so it can't be that they're cooking stuff or making things... unless Yuu has persuaded them to hand-make presents this year. Uh. Nope. Give your head a shake. Not happening.
And secondly, why am I the one getting decorations? And why aren't we in, oh I don't know, a shop?
Again: Forest. Lost. Why.
I know I could probably find my way out on my own, and at this point I'm very tempted to, but I also know that Tsubasa could get me out of here in about a third of the time it would take me, and it's going to get dark soon. Huh.
To be honest, I'm not quite sure when I lost Tsubasa. The guy doesn't talk much and he walks like a shadow, so it's kind of hard to keep tabs on him even if you're trying to. I only noticed he was gone when I got to a river and had to look around for a ford. That was about twenty minutes ago. I'm pretty sure he knows he's lost me at this point because there's no way I'm as quiet as him and he's like that eagle he keeps, all sharp eyes and keen senses and swift-wings-of-death kind of thing.
Which is why I'm wondering why he hasn't found me yet...
