RotLC 024: Surprise

Author’s Note: This was almost postponed for reasons of TORNADOES but thankfully it’s all staying south tonight. (I hate May. May is the worst month. Especially the first two-three weeks of May. I need a house with a basement…)

Disclaimer: Eira, her family, and all associated characters are mine but they are playing the sandbox created by the comic Hurrocks Fardel, now available on WebToons (it’s catching up to where we were, old pages are being redone so it is a consistent look). Whether any of this ends up canon depends entirely on the artist, but I’ll try to be consistent with what information they have provided. ^_^

Eira came scrambling into the kitchen, a paper-wrapped parcel in arm. “I can’t tell what it is,” she complained. “It’s heavy for its size though!”

“Because it’s supposed to be a surprise, snowflake,” Oline said with a laugh. Of course Eira knew what did and didn’t belong in her packs. She gestured to the table, and Eira hurried to take a seat.

“Now, there’s rules with this surprise,” Oline warned. “Your father will have to hang on to it for a bit, until you prove you can be responsible.”

Eira gave her a serious nod, too responsible by half already.
