Paralogue Five: Home For the Holiday
Markus and Miriam sat in Markus's office passing the bottle back and forth. "So, what's your plan for Snowflake Day, Markus?" Miriam asked as she took her fifth swig. The two had wrapped up tossing out the men that had accosted Elaina and Penny, and now most of the students and staff had left. Markus took the bottle from Miriam and took a long swig
"Honestly, I'm not sure. I might head to Orre to see my best friend and her guy, or maybe I'll head to Lilycove and hit up my old stomping ground, spend some time with my nieces. I know for a fact I need to spend some time in Unova though, Evelyn and I need to pay a visit to someone special." He took another swig from the bottle. "What about you?"
Miriam took the bottle from him and took a long drink. "I'm probably going to sit alone around my house and an oversized tee shirt and panties, eat take out and cry." Markus grabbed the bottle back from her and pushed the cork back into it.
"Like hell you are, Mirri. Come stay with me for Snowflake Day. Tisn't the season to be melancholy. Fuck fuck fuck fuck fuck, fuck fuck fuck fuck." Markus and Miriam had drunk enough for this to seem incredibly funny to them both. They laughed for a moment then Markus looked into Miriam's eyes and leaned over to kiss her. "You know I'm sweet on you."
"Why do you think I let you call me Mirri?" she said as she pressed her lips to his. They kissed, passionately for a moment before separating.
"Mirri, you make me feel like my troubled heart is a million miles away."
