I don't want a lot for Christmas [emrys/xantha]

December 24, 2026

Getting out of rehab was, well interesting. And it took some time for the rock star to bounce back to his usual self. Though it seemed as though something had changed. Not that Emrys would allow anyone to see that change, or admit to it, not even to himself. One thing that seemed to surprise everyone, is that Emrys was moving to a new, and bigger place. The new location had just as much security as the last one, but it seemed more capable of having more guests. While the celebrity could party and drink with the best of them, he also enjoyed his privacy. He had the three story penthouse furnished and prepped long before he would move in. He wasn't one who liked the transitioning process. He planned to move in only after it was completely ready. Once the furnishing was completed, he had the door to the top floor enchanted to only allow certain people through. that list was short. It was after all the floor that contained the master bedroom, and his studio. Sure, there were a few other things up there, but those were mostly for private use.

Once he was informed that everyone was ready, he sent a cheeky little text to Xantha. They had reconnected after he returned, and things seemed to have gotten back to some resemblance of normal. "Up for an adventure Agent X?"

They agreed to meet up after dark and he took her to the new place. Entering through the front door with her under his arms, they took the elevator as high as it would go, and he used the key to enter the ready to live in place. Gesturing for the girl to go in first. "What do you think?" The question a bit showy, and nonchalant, but held more weight than he led on.

There was no doubt that Xantha had initially been worried out of her mind when she'd heard that Emrys had been put in rehab. It didn't help that he'd been ignoring her for quite a while before that and well, the realisation that magic was real and that he was actually a vampire had kind of messed things up. She'd presumed that he'd just break her heart eventually and despite the fact she denied being in love with him, she knew that it would cause her pain and heartache when he'd get bored with her eventually.

And then she'd heard about the rehab and she'd come to find that she'd rather wait for him to get bored and shatter her than make the inevitable happen sooner rather than later. She wanted him in her live and she was going to start acting on it a lot more. She was going to actually wait around for the worst case scenario, because she enjoyed his company too much. She was pretty sure she was screwed. But at least she knew this time, right?

So as he'd texted her and asked if she was ready for an adventure at Christmas, she hadn't wasted time in texting him a very cryptic version of yes. Since they were going as their secret agent persona's, some secrecy was required. So she'd waited for him and had been highly surprised he simply dragged her to a building that was (if possible) even more excessive than the last place he'd lived (which she currently still presumed to be his current adress) but tried not to show it. Whatever this was, it was fine. Then he opened the door and motioned her in first and she just.. went with it. Emrys was rather unpredictable after all, and she'd found it was a lot more fun to just go with the flow of things on that end. Then he asked what she thought and she looked around, shaking her head slightly. Of course it was beautiful and extravagant, but she'd have expected nothing less from him. "I think my apartment could probably fit in the hallway." She said with a chuckle as she looked around the hallway a bit. "Are you telling me you moved and I get a tour rather than a card in the mail?" She then asked him a little deviously. "Are you concerned about my mailbox not having a proper lock?" She said rather jokingly, not even sure if he was sure how to even get mail delivered to muggles. She wasn't sure if his magic mumbo jumbo was connected to the post office.
