"It's the eleventh! Is it necessary to do this now?" Skulduggery groaned. "I hate these things."

"Well then you can just go sulk in a corner, baby," Valkyrie replied, throwing a handful of sand at him.

"Luminaries are pretty!" Tanith shouted . "How can you not like them?"

"They're pretty when they're all done, but it takes so long to get them all set up! I don't have that patience."

"You're so dumb," Valkyrie groaned and set to the candles. Fletcher appeared next to her and took the candles. He tried to light one, but the flame rose up unexpectedly and his sleeve caught on fire.

Valkyrie looked over at Fletcher, who was desperately trying to put his arm out. "Alright," she sighed. "Nevermind."


My neighborhood does luminaries every Christmas Eve, so…

:D
