You know, it's kinda funny. This year I guess I stuck to some resolutions I don't remember making-- like, oh, finally getting out of my stepdad's house--

[ funny how getting kicked out makes that easy to do. ]

--and quitting smoking-- [ thanks a ton Eponine. ]

--and getting real close with my dad. [ no. really, Eponine. thanks. ]

Huh. Yeah. Wonder what this year's gonna have in store. Can't wait. [ With an eyeroll and a familiar, irritating itch for a smoke. ]

So. How many of you are going to make optimistic promises you're not gonna keep, eh? I know I'm tapped out of 'em, but that's just me.

[He just narrows his eyes at Grantaire.]

Angels, Santa. We're children of gods, R. Who knows.

I'M SORRY no i'm not

[habitually]

[ Opening his mouth... and closing it again. ]

Okay, you got a point.

Still. I've seen this place. Got no flying reindeer around.

[Gabriel loves it when he gets to win.]

Okay, I could put antler headbands on all of the Pegasi and nobody would notice the difference.

[Gabriel, horses, winged or not, are probably not even in the same family as reindeer.

Probably.]

...hey, but that would be kind of an awesome prank, right? Or we could use horns. Unicorns.

[ Why. ]

[angeliaforos]

Now - now you are speaking on my level. This is why we're friends, Grantaire. I bet none of these chucklefucks around here has ever actually seen a unicorn before.

[habitually]

I haven't either, to be fair. [ Grinning. ]

We should fix this. Imagine the younger kids' reactions. A real live unicorn, that can fly!

[ And the crushing disappointment when they find out it's a lie. Welcome to life, kids.
