Epilogue

"Would you like a thigh, or a breast, Jedite?"

The man in question licked his lips greedily, and readjusted his elf hat. The damn thing kept falling off. "I believe I'd like the thigh, although I wouldn't be averse to having some breast. Then again, the wing is pretty good too…"

"Jedite!" Queen Beryl was growing impatient. "How dare you make me wait! No turkey for you, only ham!"

Malachite snickered into his napkin. He always enjoyed it when Jedite got in trouble with the queen. "Perhaps, to ensure that he learns his lesson well, you should assign Jedite with clean-up duty."

"Excellent idea, Malachite. And you shall help him."

Malachite choked on his wine. Damnation. He waited until Queen Beryl turned away to serve Nephrite a slice of turkey breast, then flung a dinner roll at Jedite. "I saw that, Malachite. Throw any more food at my table, and you can forget about dessert."

"Yes, m'queen." He glared daggers at Jedite, who had taken the roll he threw and began to butter it.

Jedite smiled innocently at him. "Want a bite?"

Zoicite, sensing an argument brewing, immediately cleared his throat. "Uh, how about we sing some Christmas carols?" The other Negaverse occupants at the table raised their eyes at him and grunted. "Or not."

"I think that is an excellent idea. Now, all of you, sing!" Everyone at the table, save Zoicite, suppressed groans and started to sing.

"Silent night, holy night. All is calm, all is bright…"
