Graham smiled before moving gently and carefully before placing it with the stand."Wait--" Reaver fixed his grip, a small smirk on his face once he made it easier. "Alright, ready."

Graham smiled before moving gently and carefully before placing it with the stand."Wait--" Reaver fixed his grip, a small smirk on his face once he made it easier. "Alright, ready."
Graham smiled before moving gently and carefully before placing it with the stand.
Graham smiled, "how abou we do it instead?"Reaver exhaled as it was set down. "There we go. Now all Adrian has t' do is get it int' the stand." He stated, then sighed. "I hear the agitation already."
Graham smiled, "how abou we do it instead?"
Graham sighedd, "why is he so complicated?"Reaver shook his head. "It somehow makes it worse. It's better t'have him do it otherwise he'll complain like the last time we tried."
Graham sighedd, "why is he so complicated?"
Graham smiled over to them, "took y'guys a while."-"Because he's AAAAAAdee." Reaver huffed while Dipper came rushing through the shadows and, soon after, Zuzana and Adrian had followed.
Graham smiled over to them, "took y'guys a while."
Graham snickered, "y'say that abotu every squirrel."-"We wanted t'make sure Dipper came back alright." Zuzana assured while Adrian would close the warp in the shadows.
"He got distracted by a squirrel." Adrian cracked a smirk while Dipper sat down in his wolf form, using his foot to itch his neck.
"He had it comin'." Dipper remarked.
Graham snickered, "y'say that abotu every squirrel."
Graham gasped, "me too! With more shavings rather than the fluff.""'s because they're eeeeevil." Dipper stated, Adrian snickering before he sighed and got started on the tree's initial setup. "But this one had it comin'. It chattered some mean things about mam." Dipper then squinted and Zuzana smiled and picked up the floor.
"Ah! My protective floof. Who wants hot chocolate?" Zuzana asked.
Malvo gasped. "With fluff and candycane shavings!?"
Dipper widened his eyes. "I want extra fluff, please!"
((-screams-))
"BabY IT'S COOOLD OUTSIDE." Adrian burst out, trimming the trees base.
Graham gasped, "me too! With more shavings rather than the fluff."
Graham sighed, "what a good day to be alive.""Same f'r meee." Reaver grinned.
Zuzana snickered and nodded before looking to Adrian. "I take it your singing indicated you'd like one, as well?"
Adrian peered over from the brush of the tree to his wife. "If y'd be so kind."
"Hot chocolate all around, then." Zuzana snickered and walked to the kitchen with the floof still in her arms.
Graham sighed, "what a good day to be alive."
Graham snickered, "hey, just be happy that it's a one day thing."Reaver nodded and curled his tail in excitement. "Right up at the top."
"Beh." Adrian stated, getting back to work.
"Oh, bah humbug t' you too." Reaver teased, glancing to his brother.
Graham snickered, "hey, just be happy that it's a one day thing."
Graham sighed, "let me heeeeeeeeeelp.""The painfully sappy overblown sentimentality lasts a week." Adrian grumbled and slid the stand over to take a few quick measurements. "Not t'mention this is the hardest time of year--SON OF A BITCH, still too big!" He growled and moved to continue his work.
Graham sighed, "let me heeeeeeeeeelp."
(Fine with me)-"No, I got it." Adrian stated and continued what he was doing with a grumble as he checked the size again. He then moved and undid the bolts on the stand before sighing.
"Gonna start callin' ya the Grinch, from now on." Reaver remarked.
"I don't steal shit from children." He stated before standing up and picking up the tree to set it in. "MOTHER FUCKING PIECE OF CRAP! I'LL BURN YER WHOLE TREE FAMILY IF Y'DON'T STAY FOCKIN' STILL!" He seethed, and held the tree in place, situating the large, probably scared though it can't feel, Valhalla day tree. "Stupid focking tree. . ." he grumbled.
((Excuse me while I vent my stuff into the grumpy woof.))
(Fine with me)
Graham blinked before looking to Reaver, "I think someone needs extra on that hot cocoa."
Graham grabbed the back of Adrian's collar, "alright, Adrian. That's enough. We'll handle the rest. Go and make cocoa with your wife and kids.""Yeah. Like a giant mug." Reaver stated.
"Mother fuckinG WASTE OF NATURAL SPACE!" Adrian caught the tree before it could fall and glared down to the stand. "THIS THING'S FOCKING GARBAGE! It doesn't even do what it's focking made for anymore!" He seethed, energy flickering the lights before he moved down and went to tighten the stand again, but before he could the tree fell and dislodged itself once more. Adrian's brow then twitched, his eyes shadowing in his upset while Zuzana and the kids poled their heads out of the kitchen to make sure no one got hurt.
"Dad, just let uncle Grizzly and uncle Woof hold the tree in place, at least." Malvo spoke out through her frown.
"It's clearly too big t' do both on yer own, dad." Dipper agreed.
"I did it last year andI can manage again." Adrian growled stubbornly and raised the tree to set it into the stand once again. "Piece of fockin' shite, crann." ((tree.)) He grumbled.
Graham grabbed the back of Adrian's collar, "alright, Adrian. That's enough. We'll handle the rest. Go and make cocoa with your wife and kids."
(-patpat- WISH GRANTED!)Adrian then growled at the grab before he looked to Graham with. . . tears in his eyes? "Lig dom é seo a dhéanamh!" ((Let me do this!)) His Mákrish words snapped, and his voice cracked, something longing seen in those sad and angry eyes. Something almost that of a desperate kid. "Lig dom é seo a dhéanamh. . ." ((Let me do this. . .))
((The act of tree set up goes deeper than anyone knows. Feel free to ask what the matter is.
-so ready to share- ;×; ))
(-patpat- WISH GRANTED!)
Graham moved back a bit in shock as he watched his brother, "why is it such a big deal, Adrian?"
(;w; AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH GODSSSSSS MY HEART)((EEEEE! -cracks fingers-))
Adrian gave a shaky sigh, the rest of the family heading over in concern while Adrian looked to the pine needles on one of the branches. He then looked off to the side and delved into explanation. "My father always hated Valhalla Day and did his best t' make sure we didn't celebrate it at all, along with that whole week. But mama enjoyed it so much. I remember th' first year I could remember her answerin' a question I had; and that was about that big, fantastically lit tree that they had down in the middle of town." He swallowed hard at the memory. "And she. . . told me what Valhalla Day was. . . and I thought. . . I thought it was so odd that families actually acted that way. And I told her that. That made her tear up and drop the bread on the dirt road. . ."
Adrian sighed, body somewhat clung to the tree as he fought to hold himself together. "I, uhm. . . asked her why she was crying, and I did my best to apologise but then she told me that dad had taken the holiday away from her, essentially. . . so I told her we could have our own Valhalla Day."
He shakily inhaled, and used his magic to support the tree as he crouched down and tightened the stand so it would finally remain up on its own. "Of course, hearing that from yer five year old son, or I guess just yer kid in general, that made her tears. . . sweeter. She told me she loved the idea, so. . . f'r the next few years I went out and I'd steal a small pine tree from the woods. Other kids looked at me funny as I took home what could probably be called more of a small bush dispite it really bein' a tree, but I didn't care. I just made it my duty t' set up that small tree in the basement because it always made her feel so hsppy, and that's really the greatest gift I coulda ever asked f'r. . . I even got Valerie involved after she came int' our lives. And Reaver, though all he really did was wear tinsil on his head. We. . . had our own little Valhalla Day without dad or Alduin finding out f'r the longest time. . ."
Once the tree stand was tight enough around the tree to keep it there, he slid over a small jug of water and filled the stand to water the tree. ". . . Then on mam's last Valhalla Day, that's when we got one of the bigger trees. . . set it up, even had a little train going up and down the damned thing. I guess dad found a few stray pine needles that led him t' the basement. . ."
Adrian stood and sighed. "In the middle of unwrapping gifts, he came down drunk and 'e started yellin'. Hit mam right across the face before he went and tore the tree down before breakin' everythin' and draggin' me off f'r his snd Alduin's bullshite trainin'."
Adrian moved back and stood up, releasing the sturdy tree from his magic as he lifted the now empty jug. "But, although the rest of this holiday was shite. . . her favourite thing about it was always the tree, and I didn't want her upset like she was the first time we talked about it, so, even after her passing, I still. . . always. . . set one up in secret. And, when I ws able to, I even volunteered t' do it here too, and now here I am t'day - keepin' at least one thing she loved alive. . ."
His eyes were wet by the finish of his shared memory, thumb running alomg the paper label of the jug before he paused and looked to his kids, who'd been both giving him a tight hug at eather side - both sniffling as well.
