It's like a bad novel, isn't it?

Rebecca nods, more reluctant to speak about some of the other issues involved. She couldn't be sure on the details, but having grown up with the story all her life, what else was she supposed to believe.

"My parents separated when I was young. I don't remember much of my mom beyond their fighting. A couple of years before I got my power, she ran off with someone else." She shrugs in a half-hearted attempt to brush it off.

"Turns out they were a meta."

"Ah. I see."

He took another sip of his drink just so he didn't blurt out what he was thinking.

She watches him take the drink without blinking, his tone giving away he had something on his mind that she probably wouldn't like.

So she waits. Expectantly.

He doesn't say what's on his mind! He thinks it's best to not open that can of worms uninvited.

"Well, if you wanted to not spend Christmas cooped up here I can see what I can do."

He'd shrug.

"If you wanted."

"Yeah?" Smart choice on Eric's part; she relaxes a little as the subject is changed once again.

"Not that you have to. You've got your own family and stuff, too."

He wins out in the end. She shakes her head.

"No. I can deal with being alone this Christmas." A dim smile. "But I won't say no to the company, either." As long as it's not half the state going to the same celebration.

"That is such a wishy washy answer."

He groaned.

"What do you want. I don't care about what you would accept."

It's a lot nicer than being told you're not being interesting! And she does need the kick in the pants.

"I want to not be alone this holiday." There it's out, completely with a huff and shake of her head at herself for being so...wishy washy.

"I want to see what you can come up with," she adds with a bit more enthusiasm.

A challenge? Maybe.

He snorts.

"Oh don't don't get your hopes up babe. My family isn't THAT exciting. But I'll see if they are down for me bringing home a stray puppy this year." He said playfully with a wink.

"Beats sitting alone in your room though, right?"

She chucks the pillow at him again when he mentions the word 'stray' and huffs, reminding herself ot keep the mood light. For Eric, at least, it's nto a derogatory term. He's just trying to lighten the mood.

It still sort of stings.

"Well, like you said, better than being alone and staring down the walls or something."

"Ack!"

The pillow would hit him and knock his cocoa holding hand spilling super hot chocolate all down his front!

"Shit!"

He drops the cup and hops up! Jesus it burns!

"Shit!" Rebecca half jumps off of the sofa as the hot cocoa dumps down the front of him. Go figure that this is the one time that he isn't on top of things and playing with portals!

"Shit, I'm sorry." She darts towards the bathroom to get some towels and washclothes, running the latter under cool water to help with any burns and stains.

'Wonderful. What else am I gonna screw up? Shit.'

Yeah, that shirt is coming off so the liquid isn't trapped in it and just burning him.

"It's fine! It's fine!"

"No it's not!" She doesn't really pay attention to the lack of shirt, offering him a washcloth and towel as she picks up his shirt and tosses it into the sink from her current position.

"I'm so, so sorry."

Oh sweet cool fabric. He gladly presses that against the burn.

"It's fine. Really. It's not a big deal."

Her frown says otherwise as she holds out another cool cloth for him since she can't see the damage of the burns with the way he's standing and would probably only make it worse, anyway.

He'd take it!

"I was gonna make a joke, but I think that would just get me hit with another pillow." He said with a laugh.

"Go ahead and say it, Eric." She resists the urge to make a face.

"Wanna kiss it better?"

He laughed, he couldn't even hold it in.

She snorts and does the next best thing; she tosses the towel over his head so that it partially covers his face.

"I think we know what happens when my kissing anything is involved."

"Uh, a fun date?"

He'd leave the towel covering his face.

"I seem to remember you getting pretty intimate with a garbage can on said date." She walks to the bathroom and turns on teh cold water to rinse out the shirt she ruined.

He'd follow her, pulling the towel off his face.

"So? We also had a blast for the vast majority of the date."

"We did." The memory brings back her smile, less reluctant that before.
