Sleepy smile.

"Morning."

She kisses Ellie's forehead. "Morning! And Happy Christmas." Tea? 

"Best present. Yes."

Heeee! "Maybe I should've waited until today to start kissing you... Make it a proper Christmas surprise."

"As if I wasn't the one who kissed you first."

Kiss! "True... So, really, you just opened your Christmas gift a day early."

"I'm getting to be even more impatient than you."

She kisses the tip of Ellie's nose. "Well, impatience apparently means you get nice things sooner."

"An overlooked benefit."

Heee.

"I got breakfast stuff... Figured we could eat then go see Fay? Or just bring this to Fay's, even."

"No, let's eat here."

"Okay." She sits on the bed next to Ellie, legs touching, as they eat, sneaking frequent glances at her.

"People are not for breakfast," Ellie says, waggling a bit of bacon at her.

Innocent expression. "Really? Are you sure?"

"Unless you're a Dark cannibal wizard," she allows.

"Couldn't kisses be for breakfast instead?"

"Woman cannot live by kisses alone."

"Hm... That sounds like something to try and invent. Life-sustaining kisses."

"That's not going to help for today's breakfast, though."

"Okay, have it your way then." She sticks her tongue out. "No kisses until after food."

"I'm glad we could come to an agreement."

"That you're right?"

"Of course."

Giggle. "Well, you are the smartest..."

Noseboop.
