Noah could never really get into the swing of the holidays. When he was younger, he'd always had Martin or Noël to fight for attention with, and then when it was time to unwrap the toys, his siblings' presents whizzed or glittered while his were clunky and mechanical. It was what he wanted, but they never seemed to impress anyone but himself. Well, no. His mother had always been very interested in his trinkets, asking him how the muggle things she spent days searching for worked. Noah took great care to explain each instrument and would only let his mum use them, besides himself.
He rubbed his head, having been staring out the window of the house for who knew how long. The holidays should really be taking on a new meaning now, shouldn't they? He was a married man, he had children, things should be happy. They would be, he'd play happy for the kids on Christmas, and Odette---Merlin, he really hoped he impressed her with her present, it was their first Christmas as husband and wife and---
Her near sudden appearance slightly startled him and Noah shook away his thoughts, smiling back at her. His grin faded however at her words and Noah's face took on a bit of concern.
"What's the matter?" he asked, drawing near and touching her elbow gently.
