It was most likely the latter. “I mean, if you actually turned up really late? Sure, I’d leave,” she answered, as if this proved her point. “You were just on time, which I guess does count but if we’re being honest, being early is being on time and being on time is late. So technically, you were late.” A small smile appeared on her face now as she looked at him, the picture of innocence.

She already knew what she was going to do, of course, but listening to him say he was going to go back to the house hurt her little heart in a way she couldn’t quite articulate. “Oh. That’s cool. Will you be doing anything fun?” she asked, almost hoping that he was going to do something super fun and interesting, just like she was going to. Having spent every Christmas together since ever, Sloane couldn’t help but look down at her butterbeer and turn her attention to the small, water droplets that clung to the outside of it. She wasn’t exactly excited to go skiing in the alps, which might be surprising to some people but to her, it just wasn’t straight forward.

After taking a moment to fight down the lump in her throat, she somehow managed to find some words to answer his question. “I…uh…think Faith and Zoryn have something planned. Something about going skiing.” Her words clearly lacked the right amount of enthusiasm that you’d expect from someone who’d never so much as had a weekend away let alone a holiday away in a different country before. Of course, they’d asked her if she’d wanted to go and she could have said no…but truthfully, she didn’t want to say no. She’d wanted to go and it was possibly this decision that was eating at her slightly as she sat there opposite her brother.

Mickey knew exactly whom he was talking to. That was the issue. Maybe he was simply assuming that because it was him that she would give special treatment, or maybe he knew that she wouldn't and that would give him cause to complain about it. Either way, his tone remained the same even when she declared that she would indeed leave had he turned up late. "But I wasn't late. And who says being on time is being late? That makes no sense. Being late is being late, Sloane.. and being on time is being on time." He wasn't going to rush for anybody. When he said he'd be somewhere, he'd be there. At the given time. Should he happen to arrive early well that would simply be luck. "Plus you could've come here WITH me instead of having me meet you here." Cause logic.

Was he going to do anything fun? How was he meant to know what they all had planned for the holiday break. He was sure whatever it was though that they were going to try to rope him into joining them like everything was perfect. It wasn't. Not that he hated it there, things could be worse but it could be better too. "It wouldn't surprise me at all if they've planned something but I don't know.. there's a lot of them." It was like having siblings.. that weren't his siblings. It wasn't fair.

His gaze shifted from his sister to his own mug of butterbeer back to Sloane, his finger lightly gliding along the rim of his mug. "Skiing? How much time do you think you'll spend on your bum then on your feet?" The question was meant to lighten the mood and maybe even get a little laugh out of her but it lacked its usual smirk behind the words. He wanted his sister to do what she wanted to do, but they had never had Christmas apart before.
