Room 406, evening

[izzyalienqueen]

After work Isabel had returned to her room, made a few handwavey phone calls, then turned on Christmas carols and settled in for an evening of gift giving.

It was a nice distraction from thinking about anything else.

The Christmas tree lights were twinkling and the door was most definitely open.

[ooc: If you think you might have gotten a phone call to come get a present, you did, so stop on by.]

Adam, present in hand, walked across the hall and knocked on the door frame.

"Hey Adam. Merry Christmas!" Isabel smiled.

"Hi Isabel," Adam returned the smile. "Merry Christmas to you too! How are you?"

"I'm doing the Santa thing," she said. "It's fun. In fact I have something here for you."

"Very nice," Adam smiled. "Yeah, that seems to be the general consensus," he agreed. "Funny you should mention that, I've actually got a little something for you, too."

"Why thank you Santa," Isabel grinned handing over Adam's present. "You shouldn't have."

Adam laughed, "You're very welcome. And thank you," he smiled gratefully. "Ditto."

Opening her package, Isabel laughed. "My favorite food. Thank you."

"I was hoping you'd like it," Adam smiled, pleased. Opening his present, he couldn't help but laugh. "Oh, the perfect gift. Thank you Isabel!" He grinned. "You realize this is all I'm going to be watching now, right?"

"You've got time during the break," she pointed out. "Set it up in the common room. Make a party out of it."

"Now this looks interesting and useful," Isabel said as she opened the book.

"That's true, I do," Adam nodded. "Wonder if anyone would show," he joked, knowing at least a few people would happen by.

"Thought it might be," he admitted, shrugging slightly.

"Well I have the occasional need to be sneaking. So yeah, definitely."

"What are you doing for the holiday?" she asked.

"Don't we all," Adam chuckled, knowing that Fandom definitely called for it. "Thought it might come in handy here," he noted.

"I'm going home for a few days to see the family and some friends," Adam explained. "Eve's coming with me, so it should be fun. How about you?"

"Back to Roswell for a few days to see my family," Isabel told him. "Then I'll be back in time for New Year's."

"Nice," Adam smiled. "Looking forward to the trip home?"

[izzyalienqueen.livejournal.com]

"Yeah," she smiled. "It'll be good to see my family. I've missed them. And we haven't had holiday together in a while. This will be nice."

"It certainly sounds it," Adam grinned, happy for Isabel. "I bet you'll have a wonderful time."

[izzyalienqueen.livejournal.com]

"I think we will. And it'll be nice to have mom cook for me."

[im-afrog.livejournal.com]

"Oh yes," Adam laughed. "Mom's cooking. I must say I've missed my mother's food, that's for sure."
