Family Moments

Despite being given free rein of the workshop, Jade somehow always found herself outside with the reindeer.
They were big, and intimidating, and sometimes they tried to smash her brain out with their antlers, but she felt a kinship with the beasts.
After all, she was a fearsome creature herself, a symbol of lightning and death, but Jade knew that was not all she was.
Maybe that was not all the reindeer were, either.
So when North found her a few hours later, sitting in one of the stalls and cooing to a strangely-snuggly reindeer, he could only watch in amazement.
A smile formed on the Russian’s face.
It was nice seeing his children get along so well.
