He expected that his father was going to owl the board of governors if he didn’t hear from him and Isobel very soon.
Sighing he tried to cheer up. "Sure, we can decorate one of the trees together that Professor Rainwater just brought in. Can i hold your hand?" If he could then Cole would feel a little better and not so down in the dumps. It was christmas after all. Lifting up two gingerbread cookies from the tray he offered one to Naya before he took a bite of his own. "It’s a yummy cookie. You should try it." Who the elves had learned to bake from Cole didn’t have the faintest and honestly didn’t care.
Naya was upset that she wouldn’t be going home for Christmas, but seeing
Cole looking so sad made it worse.
“I’m......disappointed, sad. I’ve never missed a Christmas with my family before.” Then Naya looked at Cole with a half smile.
“But.....if I cant go home, at least I get to spend time with you.” Looking on the bright side, yeah?
Cole’s agreement to decorate the trees sounded rather half hearted and Naya understood. Then he said possibly the only thing that would make her feel better. He wanted to hold her hand and on top of that, he offered her a cookie. What more could she ask for? Naya didn’t answer, she just reached out and took Cole’s hand into her own. Yep. She felt better already. This time her smile was genuine. With her free hand, she took the gingerbread cookie and tasted a bite of its foot.
“Mmmm it is good.” SPOILER!!: Islay

She gave Aboli a slight nod as she stood there in her pair of thick wool leggings and an oversized sweatshirt. She looked comfortable, that was all that mattered.
She scanned the people in attendance so far and just sighed at the fact that she couldn’t find Noah yet...but Kimmie was there and that was good. She did of course send all of her dormmates waves as she set up a spot for her things as she made her way over toward Naya and Cole. “Hey Naya, you look cozy” she smiled over to her, “would you guys want help?”
Hearing her name, Naya turned around to see her dormmate.
”Hi Islay. Thanks. I feel pretty cozy. Her dormie got a smile too. Islay was ready to help with the decorating. Naya glanced at Cole and back to Islay.
“Sure. We could use some help. We were just going to decorate the Christmas tree.” She hoped Cole didn’t mind her answering for both of them. They could use some cheer and Islay surely seemed cheerful.
