Winter log
Who: Everyone!
What: Open Log
When: December
Where: The Hunter's Lodge
Warnings: N/A
Notes: This is a mingle log, so people are free to set up their own TLs under it. So tag in and tag around!
Snow has fallen outside and while it's not heavy it's set just enough down to gently cover the wooden benches and ground outside. The chairs have been removed but the lanterns are still out and lit (as well as the little lights that have been replaced with more festive ones) if people want to walk around outside and have private chats among the snow, the trees and the lighting.
Potluck - Food is all around. Got a story about how the food you brought is part of a long standing family tradition? So much the better! But Ignis for his part has been researching and working on bringing the foods he's heard about. So here you'll find an appetizer platter along with a cream cheese tree, turkey, ham, his version of the Crown City roast, stuffing balls, roasted potatoes and roasted vegetables, and of course a few different desserts.
So you can find him making sure the table is decked out in christmas colours and full of food. But as he sets the last appetizer tree down on the table, he nods. "Quite glad to see that you could make it."
Trim a tree A small group of freshly cut green trees are sitting in a corner with room to go around the back. Simple lights are already in place, but there are ornaments with hooks sitting in silent invitation to decorate the tree and gather around as well as different coloured garland too.
But there's plenty of supplies and being able to decorate a tree with Nida last year was all sorts of fun as it will be again this year. So the advisor is definitely happy that nature can come inside at least temporarily.
Ignis stands back and takes a look at the trees with a satisfied sort of nod. "I suppose after the holiday, I will see about replanting it outside." Turning to his guest, there's an easy smile. "It won't do to simply throw it away do you think?"
Gift exchange - Gifts aren't required, but people are free to do so. This can be as private or as public as wished! The royal strategist is busy arranging gifts under the tree, trying to make some sense as to how they should be grouped, so he's on his knees trying to keep the order straight. As soon as someone approaches, he acknowledges their presence with a smile. "Would you mind handing me that blue wrapped gift sitting on the chair right next to you?"
Wild card- Dancing? Snowball fights outside? Feel free to make up a thing here!

“Well I suppose we must haul them out. It would disappoint people to not bury me in their gratitude.”
no subject
He also had a stack of greens for the chocobo he'd managed to stable away from everyone at the house. And he'd made sure it was warm and comfortable enough with the help of the local chocobo stable folks.
no subject
"Oh you're so kind to them. Though when spring comes, I think I want to look into some cat friendly plants. Julia clearly needs to nibble on something."
no subject
And even though he was serious about what he was speaking about, Ignis still managed a smile at his husband.
no subject
He laughs and shakes his head at the idea.
"Surely there are other plant friendly cats though. I'm used to living at Garden where there is a whole green space I could go a lot. Though I sort of had to fight my way through it though."
no subject
But at hearing the bit about other cat friendly things and the green space, the advisor had to tip his head to the side. "Crowded then was it? With all of the other SeeD members out and about?"
no subject
"Oh no. The training center has, you know, monsters."
Because that was just the life he'd grown up in.
no subject
So he just smiled. "I don't believe we have room for that here, but we can make something more peaceful and would give you a place to relax as it were."
no subject
"I'd prefer relaxing to, you know, war."
no subject
Yes the presents were there, but this conversation would certainly help him figure out how to cultivate a place of peace and respite for Nida, which was the entire point really.
