Characters: Cara, with mention of Richard, Kahlan and Zedd
Decorations (PG)
Cara scowled at the pile of decoration piled up at the foot of the stairs. The workers of the Confessors Palace were moving from railings and posts around the entry hall hanging garlands and other decorations wherever there was a suitable place to put one. Cara thought it was a waste of time and effort. She headed for the door to the kitchen and paused at the sight heading her way. Coming up the stairs towards the entry way of the palace was Richard and a handful of guards all carrying between them a massive tree. The wide doors to the entry hall would struggle to let this monstrosity through, but she had a feeling Richard would manage it anyway. The Winter Solstice was important to him, and this year more so, he had a 10 month old daughter to teach and make happy.
Kahlan and their daughter Megan had been shut upstairs in the Mother Confessors room for the morning, told they were not to leave until everything was ready. Cara had just left there to get them some lunch, Kahlan hadn't wanted to interrupt one of workers to get it so Cara had offered. She wished she hadn't now.
Shaking her head as Richard attempted to get the tree through the door she vanished into the kitchen and gathered up lunch for herself and Kahlan and some of the specially prepared food for the baby and headed back out towards the entry hall. She was shocked to see that the tree had made it through the door, though it was obvious that Zedd had arrived in time to help them, the old wizard stood in the middle of the room now, staring up at the massive tree that had been set up and half decorated in the few minutes Cara had been absent. She watched for a moment as he considered, then raised his hands and sent a huge amount of decoration up against the tree and into place.
She quirked a brow, shook her head again and vanished up the stairs to have lunch with Kahlan.
