Guy loathes Christmas. The revelry lasts too long, everyone is too jolly, and true to his annual Christmas tradition, the Sheriff is, by the third course, stark raving drunk.

"Hav atch you!" He swings the loaf into Guy's shoulder. Smacks him in the face on the second try, and leaves crumbs in his hair. "Yool never getsh me, Hood!"

Guy loathes Christmas.

There is a plop of something falling into his wine, and the Sheriff looks down in surprise.

"Hood!" Guy ducks the next swing of bread. "Show yourshelf!"

A flash of movement, and Guy turns to see Marian load a grape onto her spoon, squinting as she takes careful aim.

The grape hits Vaysey between his eyes.

"Augh!" The Sheriff falls off his chair in a flail of hands and ermine.

Guy laughs aloud and quickly muffles it in his glove. He hears Marian giggle, light and clear. Across the table, their eyes meet, and she smiles at him, genuine and lovely.

Then loads up her spoon and hits him on the nose with a pea.
