Forgive, O Lord,
my little jokes on thee...

Lindsay nodded.

"Yeah, sure." he said.

"I mean, that being said, I don't intend to just keep hanging out outside." he told her. "I can still be quite productive and shelf the rest of the... not-so-important stuff." he reasoned.

"And I'm sure you have some things to chat with to Agent Sharp." he went on.

"So I can head back in and keep working until it's ready." he offered.

...and I'll forgive thy
great big one on me.

"Hey, if that's how you want to do this, then I certainly won't stop you."Hollie commented.

"However, don't feel you have to." She added.

"Come in at your leisure then. I'm going to go get a start on the food." With that,she gave him a kind hug, the kind one might expect from an aunt, before heading back to the house.

Lindsay was silent for a moment, but returned the hug. He held it for as long as she did, promptly following her back into the house.

"I feel better already." he said.

"I just can't stand the thought of traumatising my loved ones." he told her.

"It's... not pleasant to think about..." he mumbled.

When they'd gotten back inside, they'd seen that Hal had carefully removed the Tyrant's Attire, and had placed 'Victor' in a special containment biohazard container. He had, essentially cleaned up the scene.

"Figured it would be best to get... it... ready for transport." he commented.

"I'm licensed to do so, so I did so."

Hollie just chuckled.

"Yeah, thank you." she said, her voice making it obvious she did appreciate it.

"I'll be in the kitchen. You two... mingle, or whatever." She added with a light laugh before heading to the kitchen to do as needed

Hal and Lindsay watched her go, before they exchanged some small talk, and Lindsay excused himself, going back to what he was doing, where he'd been doing it. Hal watched him go, and then turned to Hollie.

"By the way." he said.

"Why IS he here?" he asked.

"If you don't mind my asking." he said further.

"He doesn't seem like the type that would visit you."

...and I'll forgive thy

"No, he doesn't often." Hollie answered him.

"The only time we really see each other is times like this." She chuckled, "When he's here helping me with some paperwork organization."

"Heaven knows I need help with that. Always."

"...well, that makes sense, then." Hal responded with a light laugh.

"From all I've heard, he has a natural talent for that sort of thing." he commented.

"Still. Holy hell, this incident." he muttered.

"Oh, for a bit of good news, Ty's still doing it." he then told her.

"Has not touched a DROP since the day this started." he continued.

Hollie was silent for a moment.

"I... Admit... I did not expect that." She admitted after a moment or two.

"I really did think that he'd end up falling at some point." She added

"Good. I'm actually really happy about that."

"He's almost fallen." Hal told her.

"A couple of times." he went on.

"One of the... spies... I have, watched him enter a liquor store, come out with a bottle, and started walking down the street with it." he continued. "However, he'd barely walked a minute before looking at the bottle, and then throwing it into a nearby alley. Hadn't even opened it. And the spy heard the telltale smash and crash." he went on.

"Even went and checked." he said.

"Bottle was smashed, liquid was everywhere. Ty bought it... but shortly tossed it. Not sure if it was symbolic or he was slipping, but whatever it was, he hasn't broken his chances yet."

Hollie was silent for a few seconds, chuckling lightly.

"Heh. Good for him." She said.

"Also, I don't know I mentioned it yet, but the committee is saying that if all goes well, he can take her for Christmas. If he hasn't fallen off that cliff."

Hal smiled.

"Heh. Good." he chuckled.

"I'll tell Angela that." he told her.

"I will NOT tell Ty that, though." he then said.

"The true test of his character is his willingness to stick this out to an UNKNOWN deadline." he reasoned.

"But Christmas. A perfect finish line." he commented.

Hollie nodded.

"Of course." She commented.

"Has Ty asked at all about if you'd heard anything for a deadline?" She asked, her voice curious.

"In passing." Hal responded.

"More comments of 'I dunno when this game is going to end, but damn it, I WILL win it." he told her. "So for what it's worth, he doesn't seem like this is all about a deadline for him." he shrugged.

Time passed for all of them, though they were sure it was starting to seem like forever to Ty. However, it was Christmas holidays, and the Unit was getting ready to close up shop for said holidays. Liv and Lunet were in the daycare once more, with Angela and Ty there as well, talking with each other and sharing some tea, when they saw Hal walk into the area and make his way over.

"Hello-ho-ho!" he greeted the lot of them.

...and I'll forgive thy
great big one on me.

Angela was silent before waving to Hal.

"Hey there." She greeted.

"Looking forward to not having to be here, soon?" She asked Hal with a light laugh.

Hal just rolled his eyes.

"You know as well as I do that I don't have that privilege." he reminded her.

"Sad, but comes with the territory of being the boss." Ty commented.

"Sadly." Hal agreed.

"That being said, I've come to be a bit of a Santa for you lot." he told then with a smirk.

"I come bearing gifts for you all!" he declared.

Angela just laughed.

"Of course you did." She commented as the girls made their way over.

"Also, here." She added before reaching into her bag and pulled a small package out.

"Happy Christmas, Hal." She said, knowing he'd appreciate it... and really hoping the runic markings she'd learned thanks to Zeke's frequent visits were right and blocking the mana that it produced. She really didn't want him knowing what it was ahead of time.

What she'd gotten him, was extremely rare. It was, if one were to simplify it, an obsidian geode that had a phoenix feather within, giving it the ability to BE a geode, and the mana to boost any other mana around it.

Hal accepted the package, and looked at it quizzically. He narrowed his eyes a little, and she could tell he was concentrating.

But to no avail.

"Well then." he said.

"Whatever this is, you're certainly going to great lengths to keep it a secret." he chuckled.

"But you didn't have to get me anything." he told her with a smile.

"We could say the same to you." Ty responded. "And hey, I got you something, too." he added.

"It's what friends and family do." Angela said with a chuckle.

"Especially since we know you won't listen when we say that you don't need to get us anything." She added.

"So shut up and accept it." She finished with a smirk

Ty then lifted up a smallish wrapped rectangle, and set it down by Hal.

"From me." he said.

"To both you AND Hollie." he said further, causing Hal to look a little confused.

"Well, then!" the djinn responded.

"Shall I open them NOW?" he asked with a smirk.

"You can open mine later tonight." Ty told him.

...and I'll forgive thy

"Go ahead and crack into mine. Well, it's actuall from the girls." Angela said, motioning to the pair of them.

"Personally, I listned to you and your desire for nothing." She added with a laugh, but it was a lie, of course. She'd just given him her gift to him the other day. It had been a dinner reservation for him and Hollie somewhere they both rather wanted to try, but had a hard time getting into. She'd managed to swing a table, and gave it to him for Christmas.

The girls, meanwhile, were sitting off to the side, with LIv watching Hal to see how he liked it.
