I know everyone is excited for Christmas, but...

Miss Noel's birthday is also that day. I'd like to throw some kind of party for her... since she loves the holiday so much as well.

If anyone's interested, please let me know. I'm sure she'd be happy to see you all. And I could use the help.

Oh! But please don't tell her! I want it to be a surprise...

She'd be sad if you weren't there, you know. Noel likes you a lot.

[Ada had known since first meeting Noel.]

[... He knows she does.

Damnit.]

It's going to be at our house. I couldn't get away from it even if I wanted to.

[Implying that he didn't.]

[purethingsonly.livejournal.com]

You promise?

[She doesn't believe he couldn't but... she knows he isn't that heartless. Still.]

[snapekillsedgar.livejournal.com]

As if I'd run off. It's Christmas!

[Conveniently dodging the thought of what he could actually do for Noel on the day.]

[purethingsonly.livejournal.com]

So what are you going to get her?

[Whether it's Christmas or birthday thoughts, the point is, a present! You have to get her a present!]

[He considered lying, saying he wasn't going to get anything for a moment. Even he wasn't that rude. Finally, he sighed softly and settled for being honest.]

No idea.

[Aha! Her chance to repay you for your kindness Elliot, here it is.]

Maybe I can help.

[snapekillsedgar.livejournal.com]

Why? Do you think you know what she'd want?

[He'd known her for about two years. It was weird to think Ada would know better then he did.]

[purethingsonly.livejournal.com]

Do you have any better ideas?

[Its not something she can think of off the top of her head but... two heads could still be better than one!]

We should go look. I'm sure you'll find something she'd like.

[snapekillsedgar.livejournal.com]

Focus on what you're doing. You're putting the party together. I'll take care of this.

[They'd been getting to know each other better, but it was still hard for him to open himself up to all of her help.]

[purethingsonly.livejournal.com]

There are a lot of people helping me you know.

[Things would be taken care of in no time at this rate. But...]

Oh well. But if that's how you feel about it I guess there's no helping it...

[For once she'll try NOT pushing so hard.]
