Title: The Sounds of Children Playing (G, Wizard World 'Verse)
Author: charisstoma
Word count: 200
Prompt: Christmas
Wizards World ‘verse … yes again. Meridae has a lot to answer for.

It was the clink of metal being dropped and then rolling followed by the skittering of little paws on slick floor that drew the attention of the adults. Thoughts of ‘they probably have one of the new toys’ making them lose interest , before the realization that among the Christmas toys had not been anything like the latest play thing. There was a thankful collective sigh that it didn’t have that hollow sound of glass before Brian stood to see what it was.

Duke briefly raised his head off of his paws to notice that Brian ‘had it’. Rustled shaking of the newspaper said that Balthazar trusted Brian to handle anything that was a problem, he was the knight in the family after all and knew when to call for help if he needed it.

Brian looked down at the small kitten racing towards the carpet’s center with something golden clenched between his teeth, his siblings racing to see where he was going to drop the favored toy. It was Brian that pounced first.

Studying the golden ring carefully, he read, Made In China then released the toy to its fate deeming it safe. It was in the wrong ‘Verse.

I thought you might like the climax. Heheheh.

Given that Warne is older than anybody knows, I don't think he's going to have much trouble keeping up with Ranel for a long time to . . ah . . come.

I actually know a lot of Warne's back story, which would be a huge epic of a fic in itself, but he's sworn me to secrecy.

Ugh, too much pepper on my potatoes (trying to disguise the odd tasting leftover Christmas ham).

Pepper was highly prized in medieval times to make palatable meat that had gone 'odd'.
After my stint in the ER and then the hospital with some old tomato sauce.... yeah. I don't do that any more. Be careful.

Washing and browning the meat and heating, in the manner you desire, the heck out of it *nods* all good things. Better is the adapted thinking, I can't hide those calories this bad meat's potential from myself so I will throw this out without eating it.

Oh the ham isn't off, just cured differently in a way that made it taste funny to me. That'll mteach me to try a new brand from a small business.

(My brother used to work for a small foods shop - salamis, sausages etc at xmas I'd visit when they were smoking the xmas hams and he'd cut me bits off straight from the smoke house. So good!
