Cinder grinned watching the Fox woman with her gift, reaching up she scratched her ears gently, "well just a little bit...there's more to go with it as well, but that can wait until everyone is done unwrapping things." The pilot relaxed some before shifting her gaze over toward Rhys and his gift, Rhys having to have his tailoring done all custom was a problem at times but always made sure that when needed Cinder would know his measurements.
Rhys looked over to the large flat box from Merci, wrinkling his brow a bit he started unwrapping it - he recognized the shape of the clothing box once the paper was off. He considered a moment what his second adoptive mother might have gotten him before finally pulling the top of the package open. The first thing he noticed was the smell, and then pushing the shiney tissue paper aside the boy grinned a little. Inside was a very nice custom fitted leather jacket. "Oh! Thank you, Merci - it's beautiful." Pulling it out he turned the jacket over in his hands touching the material fondly.
Smiling warmly Cinder nipped one of Merci's fox ears gently, "Good call that one." Reaching over Cinder pulled the rather heavy large box assigned to her from Merci close to them. Moving the Kitsune in her arms some she starts pulling the paper off, "I have faith that you know me well enough that whatever you got is perfect." Opening the box up Cinder smiled looking over the gift, the smell of leather once again was rather pronounced as she looked down at a pair of well made black leather boots. They were thick and heavy with squared toes just like she liked them, "now I was right you do know me very well. Those are perfect and now you won't have to worry about me wearing crazy alien boots when we got places." Cinder turned and gave Merci a sound kissing before relaxing again, her gaze shifting over the others in the area. "Just about done then?"
Tek wasn't really sure what all the excitement was about, but as more paper fell the wisp darted over sending the colorful balls of refuse hurdling through the air.

Dio wanted to go through his box more carefully, but he didn't want Tek to be left out. He leaned down and waved the little wisp over 'Tek there's a present for you!' The teenager indicated one of the boxes and carefully tore the paper for the little stone. He knew that Tek could probably have ripped into it himself, but he couldn't help wanting to assist him. Especially since the wisp was all over the place in excitement. Dio's fingers made short work of the paper and he balled it up in his hands, revealing a remote control car.
Merci watched her fiend and she gave Rhys a sheepish look. "He plays with all the appliances, I figured he would like a little machine of his own to dink around with. If he breaks that one it's no big deal." She just didn't want the little wisp to feel left out. Her body leaned against the woman whose lap she was in, and she smiled a bit. Gifts were great, but this was what she'd really wanted. For the first time in a very long time, she had a family. Not only were they all together, but it seemed everyone was happy.
Her green eyes moved over to Cinder and she leaned close. Merci brushed her nose back and forth against the other woman's and she murmured quietly, "Merry Christmas Cinder. I'm glad you're home." The kitsune relaxed, and buried her face into her lover's neck. She breathed in the scent of her and just sighed in contentment. This was honestly the best day she could have ever imagined.

Tek's attention went back toward the box once it was indicated that it was for him. Bobbing around the box the little wisp touched it curiously with his little aura. Rhys grinned a bit looking over at the toy, "I think you had a very good idea." Reaches over and opens the box for the little wisp before turning the vehicle over and starting to put the batteries in. "Lets get this working for you."
Cinder smiled and tightened her arms around Merci a moment, "it's not done yet...I have one more thing for you." Moving the other woman over some she leans over the edge of the chair and picks up a small jewelry box hidden next to her cheroot case. Curling her arm around Merci she snugs the kitsune up close and then opens the case turning it showing her a set of very pretty rings, "I figured with being landside like I am - I should finally make you an honest woman." Grins a bit. Tek's little aura over his new toy and without thought or attention to the other going ons. The little car zips through the room throwing paper this way and that and creating a rather loud noise.

Merci's eyes got round and she covered her mouth to hush the gasp that she couldn't stifle. It was so beautiful, and perfect! Her gaze seemed to go from the box, back to Cinder, and then to the jewelry box again. Not even Tek whipping through the room like a crazy man could distract her. The kitsune's fingers slowly curled around the box and she liberated it from Cinder's grasp. Her mouth opened and she finally managed, "You can't be serious, are you serious? I don't have anything for you! I just, I mean I don't have anything like this. I..." Her voice seemed to choke off at the end and tears welled up in her eyes. She threw her arms around the woman she loved, and she just hugged her.
The teenager could tell something was up, but honestly he didn't want to interrupt whatever it was. He instead floated over by Rhys and watched Tek enjoy his new toy. 'He's very fast in that thing isn't he?' Some of the joy his host was feeling bubbled over to him, and he couldn't help broadcasting happiness through the empathy that all fiends seemed to have.
Dio's attention turned to his "brother", 'Are you going to try your jacket on? Merci had to get it made cause she didn't want it to bind on your wings.' He'd gone with her when she'd ordered it. He remembered that she'd been very specific about measurements and everything. His hand inched over and he tugged his box closer, turning his visible eye toward it he started leafing through the contents. He was excited about new book things, they were always welcome. After all, Dio was trying to build his own library.

Tightening her arms around the smaller woman Cinder smiled, "of course I'm serious." Cinder closed her eyes and enjoyed the closeness for a while before tilting her head and giving Merci a good kissing wrapping her arms tightly around her again, "we'll have to figure more out later...but I figure the ring you can wear now if you like...I got the darker diamonds so they look more purple then pink." Smiling some Cinder looked more content then she had in a long time.
Rhys eyed Cinder and Merci getting a general idea of what was going on but a lot like Dio he didn't really want to barge in. "Ah sure, it looks really nice." Sitting up some he got up and folded his wings before pulling the jacket on - having been cut for him his wings slide through the extra openings easily enough, noting the fit he grinned a bit. "It feels good," the teen flexed his arms and then his wings in the jacket. Rhys gaze went over toward Cinder and Merci again and speaks more softly ... "er...so does this mean your my brother?"
The little wisp was more then a bit excited, Tek swerved from side to side and finally spun and crashed xyrs little car into the table. Dropping out from the car the little wisp's aura flickered in amusement as if xe was giggling.

Merci lifted the ring out of the box and she looked at her hands. It was the left ring finger, if she remembered correctly. She slipped it onto her finger and she held it out to look at it. "Seriously you know how to make me act like a girl don't you?" Her tone was teasing, but it was obvious that she was pretty overcome with emotions at that particular moment.
Dio glanced up from his labels and arched his pierced brow at Rhys. 'Well I suppose in a way. I'm not really Merci's child, and neither are you. It would be nice to pretend though yes?' He put his things down and drifted over to where Tek crashed. He righted the car for him and turned it around so he could play some more if he wanted to.
The kitsune leaned over and gave Cinder a solid kiss before she slipped from her lap. "Alright guys, we should probably get you guys fed properly. Seraph has real food in the kitchen, and I thought it would be fun to go for a ride in the snow." Her cheeks were happily flushed when she addressed the room. She was pretty much determined that they were going to spend the day, as a proper family.
The black fiend looked up from the toy car and he darted over to his box of goodies. 'Let me put my things away! I'll be back!' and with that he rushed out of the room, his haul clutched to his chest.
Merci smiled and she glanced at Cinder, she leaned back over and kissed her again before she headed off into the kitchen. She wanted to be sure everyone was properly stuffed before she drug them all out for Christmas fun time.

Cinder grinned a bit holding the kitsune longer, leaning into the kiss she finally let her loose to start corralling up the rest of their makeshift family. While waiting for the boys to gather themselves up Cinder walked out to the small porch with her cheroot case and lighter, pulling one of the scented thin cigars out she lit it and smoked resting against the wall watching the snow outside.
Rhys nodded thoughtfully glancing over toward Dio, "suppose it is." Rhys had never had a real family...what Cinder had been building on the estate was all he had to gauge on and truthfully he wouldn't give it up easily. "I'll get my stuff upstairs as well." Gathering his things Rhys darted out of the way as Tek's race car passed by his foot. "And I'll get some real clothing on," talking mostly to himself the teen started up the stairs.
With his car fixed the wisp dropped back into it and the wheels within spun a few times before the small car darted out wildly across the room and into the kitchen.
Finishing her smoke Cinder came back inside and headed for the noisy kitchen a bit of a smile coming over her face as she saw the hectic ball of chaos that was her family unleashed on the dining area, "right lets eat up - if I remember correctly Clotho has gotten that sleigh in running order...maybe we can go steal ourselves a horse and get it moving." Dropping down into her seat it was hard to tell if the Pirate was joking or not.
