She bought herself a cute little one gallon decorative tin, clear with white and blue snowflakes, and headed for the little Saturnalia shops lining the area. She clandestinely bought a string of white lights and tucked them in the bottom of the bucket, then crafts store, then of course the massive honoring the gods store. There she purchased a couple small statues and golden laurel cord. She filled the bucket with trinkets. Eventually it got rather heavy, but she hoisted it and went about her way back to Camp Jupiter. To the infirmary, to be specific. She had no idea if he’d be there, so she was going on chance. He was probably working. Oh dear, what if he was, like, in surgery or something? She couldn’t interrupt that! To his office then.
She got to the reception area and asked for directions to his office, which got her a weird look, but they sent her down the hall. “Thank you!” She headed down the hall with the heavy bucket until she got to the door marked with his name: Kyle Lucian O’Brian. She set down the bucket and knocked on the door. Nothing. So she tentatively opened the door to a window-lit office. There she would begin. She set her bucket on the guest chair and got to work. Nutcracker here on the edge of his desk. Window clings of snowflakes she stuck here and there on his window. Paper poinsettias on the window ledge. Now the lights. Pretty little white lights wrapped around green garland that she would drape over the top of the window. She grabbed the guest chair, moved the bucket, and stood on it, reaching high high high with the lights and garland to hook them around the first ledge. Curse being short. She got the first one with a big smile, then moved the chair to get to the other side. Again she climbed, again she reached. This would look wonderful. Green and white framing his window and the poinsettias at the bottom. She was dreaming up her decoration ideas so much she didn’t hear the footsteps in the hall until the door opened. She turned a little too fast and her foot slipped off the chair, bringing her crashing to the floor, still holding on to the garland and lights as the fluttered after her, the chair tipping over onto her and her face going roughly the shade of a ripe tomato. Busted.
