I - I just ...

I didn't mean to.

[eyediot]

I know. I know you didn't, Algric.

[curriculum_fictae]

I hate to have taken her from Martin.

[eyediot]

I know. But. You have each other to help heal.

[curriculum_fictae]

[ Algric stops at that, sucking in a breath. ]

Like ... having a brother.

[eyediot]

I... Yes, that is a way to look at it. A good way, I think.

[curriculum_fictae]

We did comfort each other after. As best we could.

[eyediot]

Good. I'm relieved to hear that.

[He settles to rubbing Algric's back, careful of the bad spots, his fingers lightly dancing around each scar without touching.]

Would you feel better with some tea in your hands?

[curriculum_fictae]

[ Thanks Jon. He tenses a bit, then relaxes as Jon avoids the scarred spots. ]

Only if you let me make tea for both of us.

[eyediot]

...All right, Algric. Both of us, then.

[curriculum_fictae]

R-right. Right, let me just -

[ He gets up to go get the water heated up. ]

[eyediot]

[Jon will follow, a little worried and wanting to stick close by.]

Do you need any help?

[curriculum_fictae]

Oh, ah. Fetch me some teabags?

[eyediot]

On it.

[Teabags it is!! He'll dig out the looseleaf bags, a nice mint tea for the season.]

[curriculum_fictae]

[ And by then, the water is warm, so ... ]

Thank you, Jon.

[eyediot]

You're more than welcome, Algric.

[Teabags handed over, and he's getting a little sugar and cream for his own.]

You and Martin are going to work on some Polish traditions?

[curriculum_fictae]

[ Algric settles in with his mug, then. ]

Y-yes. For Christmas Eve.

[eyediot]

I've never seen the tradition before. I'm looking forward to it.

[curriculum_fictae]

I mean, it's nothing crazy. Just different foods, a couple of weird things.

[eyediot]

But it's still your tradition. So, I'm excited to see it.

[curriculum_fictae]

... I'm happy to share it with you.

[eyediot]

Thank you.

[He just.. Sort of smiles watching Algric. Definitely improvement from when he first saw him.]

So... Something good happen? I mean, besides all the. Holiday cheer.

[curriculum_fictae]

Oh. W-well -

[ He blushes. ]

I gave Jonah his ring.

[eyediot]

His... ring.

[. . .

Oh.]

That's wonderful, Algric.

[curriculum_fictae]

Y-yes. I'm - I'm very happy.
