(OTA! Happy holidays! If you know Fin, Willy, Phouka, or Winter, feel free to assume they gave you an invite. If not, you can say your pup got an invite through a friend of a friend, someone who knows someone, ect. It IS invite over (no gate crashing pups please, Fin's a giver and would want everyone to feel included), but the pups hosting the party are pretty active and I believe they know almost everyone in the game. And the people they don't know surely know people who do. Even if you only met them once, you got an invite somehow! This gathering post is open all week, and beyond!)

"Doesn't sound very fun," Danny frowned. "What about the ones you don't save? The families who leave broken hearted, and never manage to enjoy the holidays again. That can't feel good."

[just_hex]

"Danny, do you look for the worst?" Hex asked, his brow knitting. "You don't save everyone but I can promise if we lose then in July on on Christmas the holidays are forever ruined. That's how it is."

[london_spy]

"It's not that I look for the worst, I just don't think I could find joy while surrounded by such sadness," Danny said honestly.

[just_hex]

"We save more than we lose, Danny. And people need help. You never see people more weak than when they're afraid and hurting. It's a blessing to help the injured and sick."

[london_spy]

"Maybe I'm just too sensitive for that sort of thing," Danny shrugged.

[just_hex]

"It's not for everyone. Not A&E especially. More cut out for nursing day surgery or the peds ward, some nurses. I like it, though."

[london_spy]

Danny hummed in understanding, slowing down when they reached Hex's.

"Sure you still want to invite me in?"

[just_hex]

"Of course I want to invite you in. Don't be stupid," he teased and lead the way into the well appointed home. "Take your shoes off. Make yourself at home."

[london_spy]

Danny took his shoes off, slightly embarrassed that one of his socks had a hole in it, then followed after Hex.

"Big home for one person. Don't you get lonely?" he asked.

[just_hex]

"Not when I con mates into coming over," he grinned and winked at Danny quickly. He took the noms into the kitchen and put the kettle on.

"I got Fallout 4, do you want to play? Or we can just chat if you like. And you're more than welcome to stay the night. Guest bed or mine...I don't mind."

[london_spy]

"Um, let's just chat," Danny suggested. "I'm not really a gamer."

[just_hex]

"Alright," he smiled. "What are you going to do with your hundred quid?"

[london_spy]

"Groceries, probably," Danny admitted. "That's enough to get a massive bag of rice and fill the freezer. Maybe save half to kick towards rent."

[just_hex]

"Brilliant. I don't know what to do with mine. Save it, I reckon," he replied.

[london_spy]

"Saving up for something fun?" Danny asked, sitting down as he looked around the room. It was odd seeing Hex here. Somehow it just didn't feel like the other man's space.

[just_hex]

"Not right now, but I like to have some savings so if I see something I want I can get it...or if someone needs help I've got a bit put away that I can use," he replied.

[london_spy]

"Smart that, if you can manage it," Danny nodded.

[just_hex]

"I'm getting enough Web revenue...I can do that. And I suddenly had more money when I stopped drinking, too. Fancy that," he chuckled. "I'm flush. No worries."

[london_spy]

"Lucky," Danny replied, without a trace of envy. He was genuine when he said things like that. Even though he had nothing, less than nothing, he could still smile at the fortune others found.

[just_hex]

"It is lucky. I'm...a pretty lucky fellow, all told. But I like to share me luck as much as I can. Which is why you have whotsits and I have a mate to pester for the night," he grinned.

[london_spy]

Danny smiled softly at that, nodding and then falling silent again for a moment.

"Lonely though," he noted after a beat, not unkindly.

[just_hex]

"A bit, yeah. More now that Spencer's moved back to the states. I miss her. Sent her a Christmas card," he said with a bit of a smile. "I keep thinking of taking on another room mate but I'd have to clear it with her first. And not in her room, that's for when she comes to London. But I could rent out the guest room cheap."

[london_spy]

"Good income there," Danny noted. "Especially in a place like this. ...Though you'd have to run background checks I reckon. You want someone proper well off. I mean, you could charge a mint to live here."

[just_hex]

"I could. Or I could get Spencer to approve something low and reasonable for someone I know and trust. Like you or Matthew from work or like, I don't know. Background check isn't a bad idea though," he agreed.

[london_spy]

"Oh, I couldn't rent from you," Danny said, shaking his head. "Can hardly pay rent where I am now."
