"Yes, she does," Dark agreed, "She is my favourite to listen to." ' Daizi smiled, turning her face away as the slightest blush came to her face, "You flatter me, Goose."

Ivy stood and squeaked at him but when she heard her parents, she turned and almost immediately stumbled over, falling softly onto the couch. "I was just listening to Daizi play," Dark said, touching Daizi on the small of her back before going to sit down, "She napped for a long time."...

"Ack!" She said happily, standing up in his lap and leaning against him, babbling excitedly because it was always such a delight to see her brother. As she did, Dark and Daizi came downstairs, "Thank you for getting Ivy," Daizi said, "I'm sorry we didn't hear you come home!"

Not hearing their children come home and having completely lost track of time, Daizi continued to play for her husband. He wasn't sleeping, just enjoying how nice it was to hear her sing. Before the vow renewal, the twins had made a comment about how boring classical music was, but as he lay...

Upstairs, Daizi was singing softly. The fact her music wasn't intwined with the discordant sounds of a baby banging on her toy instruments suggested Ivy was sleeping. The door itself was mostly closed, but through the narrow opening, she could be seen, peacefully playing her harp. Below...

When the twins stepped inside, music was drifting downstairs from Daizi's harp and only Enkidu came to greet them at the door.

"Yeah, I'll text you," Milo replied, holding up one hand in a wave before heading where his grandparents picked him up since it was getting too cold to bike home.

"Do I ever forget pictures?" Milo joked, shoving his hands deep into his pockets, "Some people do Thanksgiving with their friends. He might be doing something like that."

"It will be awkward, but my aunt was always really nice. I don't remember my cousins as much. My aunt was a good baker, I think." Milo told them, "and I haven't, you know, had a normal holiday in a really long time. So it's kinda cool."

"They're taking me to see my aunt and my cousins who I haven't seen in years," Milo said, "It's my father's sister. I remember seeing them a lot when I was a kid and after my dad died, before my mom's injury."

"Yeah it's like knitting but it's with hooks instead of straight needles. It's the other thing she took up after her injury since she couldn't run anymore, which is what she used to love. She can make stuffed toys, but also hats and stuff. She has a strawberry hat she loves."

"She's got some. She goes to meetings for people with her troubles, so she spends time with people from there. And she joined a crochet club, she's thinking she might start selling crocheted stuff at artist markets and stuff," Milo told them.

"We said we'll probably be able to have Thanksgiving foods at Christmas and do both together. Christmas is better than Thanksgiving, anyway," Milo said happily, "She was able to afford the flight all through her tips so she's been doing really well as a waitress."

"She's doing really well," Milo said with real delight in his face, "She actually, um, told me that she can't come for Thanksgiving, because she can't get the time off, but she's going to visit for Christmas. She already has the flights booked and everything. So I'm actually hoping it won't...

"I promised her I would," Milo replied, "My mom wants to see them too. She loves snow."

"Yeah, she texts me a lot. The time zones are weird, but it's okay. She sends me some of her drawings and pictures of life in Cairo. Did you know she's never seen snow?"

"Xander, have I ever once seemed like a person who has a life?" Milo asked blandly although it was clear from the look on his face he was teasing, "I work in the dark room, I play video games, and I watch twitch streams. Sometimes I'll read a graphic novel or a book from the library and I'll...

"I've just been trying to get the pictures done, but it'd be cool to hang out," Milo replied, "I love the dark room, but I think I'm starting to go a bit crazy. I've been having dreams where I'm just developing photographs."

"I didn't feel like you were," Milo replied, "I'm pretty easy to overlook, which I prefer."

Milo shrugged, "It was alright. Actually, I'm pretty close to finishing the pictures for your parents. They look good."
