Apologies, all of them accepted. Your punishment is 30 minutes of snow time. What is snow time, you ask. When we get home, you will help me build a snow man, make snow balls, and snow angels. Anytime you have meltdown, as we know you will, you will accompany me in sleigh rides to the 500 acre lake, and learn to ice skate. I promise bumbs and bruises on your own terms."<br/><br/>The mage popped a piece of crab cake in his mouth. She dripped her napkin into the wassail and squeezed a few drops on his lips.
