[ sometime mid-morning, Falco is getting a text back!! ah to be blissfully ignorant... FALCO.......... ]

Fal~co~!! ✨ I hope you had a wonderful Halloween!! I would love to see you anytime, so you give me a ring whenever you're ready! Are you having an interesting dream? We can catch up and you can talk about anything you like! I'll be looking forward to it.

For now, enjoy your goodies! It will be Christmas time before you know it!! Start thinking about what you're going to ask from Santa!!!

- Father Abel✨✨

[ so maybe a day passes before he sends a Brand New Message to father abel— one after he's had a chance to clear his head and work things out. ]

Father Abel? It's me again. [ maybe the dream can come later, ] If Mister Santa gives us gifts for being good, then who is the sir that breaks into houses and stones people with coal?

[expio]

[ ....Falco, he has a lot of questions, honey ]

Wait, what? I think someone was playing a prank on you, Falco! [ some PUNK is going to get a talking to... ] Please don’t pay talk of anyone breaking into your house and... um, anything unpleasant like that any mind!! There’s only Santa Claus and he is a very kind soul!!! Ho ho ho!!! 🎄🎅🎁

Ava wouldn’t lie about those things to me, maybe she doesn’t know either.

[ THEY ARE JUST CHILDREN WITH BAD EDUCATION and also equally bad at telephone. ]

So they’re the same person?

[expio]

[ wow who told HER this story and how did she get her wires crossed my god it'd be almost poetic if it wasn't terrifying ]

Um - I wouldn't say the same person, because that would imply that Santa Claus breaks into your house for some sort of dastardly intentions and he truly doesn't! He's a jolly and very good-natured spirit, Falco!!! Utterly pure!!! Wouldn't hurt a fly!!!

[grice]

Can you start from the top then, please? Who is Mister Claus?

I'm confused

😕

[expio]

Well, you know what...? When it gets closer to Christmas time, there are usually a LOT of really good movies that will explain everything from top to bottom! What if we watched them together? And Miss Ava, too?

[grice]

That’s more than a month from now! Come on Father Abel . . .

[ he’s curious!!!!! he’s so damn curious and wants to renew this hooligan imagery he’s last had of mister claus!!! ]

I’ll let Ava know. Can you at least give me another hint?

[ more hints, from the look of things. ]

[expio]

[ h-heh. HEH. ]

A hint? Really, you need another hint...? Hm, I don't know, it would be pretty exciting if we let the anticipation build until then, right...? Maybe I should leave it at that...

[grice]

😑😑😑

[ but after a moment more of dramatic pausing: ]

Alright. I owe you for the treats, anyway.

[ he's being a brat, but on purpose. tease...... ]

[expio]

You're going to love these movies!! Santa is amazing, just you wait and see~! Should I remind you daily, just to keep the suspense alive? Ho ho ho~!

[ we tease the things we love to let them know we love them Falco. ]

[grice]

Every reminder should come with a piece of candy just in case.

[ WE TEASE THE THINGS WE LOVE TO LET THEM KNOW WE LOVE THEM FATHER ABEL also this is legit ]

[expio]

Oho! Every one? I see, I see... you know, you drive a hard bargain, but maybe I can agree to your terms. Do you like peppermint...? Candy canes might be hard to find yet, but I have my ways.

[ WHO KNEW FALCO READ ART OF WAR?? WHAT A FINE STRATEGIST... ]

[grice]

[ he learned from the best war strategist and his name is colt grice ]

I don’t know, I haven’t tried it before. Is it spice and mint at the same time?

[expio]

No, though I could understand why you might think so! It's very mint-y. And delicious! They're red-and-white and shaped like canes. You can hang them from your Christmas tree if you don't eat them all first!

[grice]

You’re not going to wait for the movies to tell me what a Christmas tree is for, are you?

[expio]

Oh, Falco, you’re going to love it~!! I can’t wait!!! 🥰🎄

[ yes this text was absent any explanation. that might be a hint as to the answer to that question ]

[ heh HEH HEH when December comes around they're going to have so much fun :> ]
