Liam grinned brightly as Rachel took Lily and held her close. "See you got this." he encouraged her.
It surprised Liam when Mara joined them, she rarely did, but it was nice to see her. She sat away from everyone but still there with them. He moved just a little closer to Mara and gave Rachel some more space. Not enough to push either of the ladies out of their comfort zones. Liam wasn't a master at small talk, he always felt awkward trying to Lure people in, but it was easy when you went to the right place where people were looking for certain types of companions. So it wasn't as much small talk as being in the right place at the right time. This was not a situation like that but he wanted to include them both while they all sat and watched. "Are you looking forward to Christmas? This is the first time we've actually got to decorate a tree. Nox says he's gonna make sure we have one for the history books."
Liam was pretty sure that Nox hadn't had any great Christmas' either, living in cars and hotels his whole life. Last year was his first real Christmas, and Liam didn't even think he'd celebrated it. He felt bad, and he wondered how Nox and Arabella were doing upstairs.
