zlabyaI hope scribbling down a paragraph or so of my Yuletide story counts. If not, so be it.
Oh, OK, just a drabble... Akka and Al are in the living room half-asleep, Al with a cat on his lap and Akka with Sola drowsing on her shoulder and two cats nearby (she's been doing unpredictable things with her hands--namely, writing down notes for things to go over with Al--so they don't want to risk her lap. Shes' busy most nights while talking or listening to the radio--usually knitting, crocheting or hand-sewing, but sometimes sanding or fiddling with a bow. Yes, Akka makes (wooden) bows. It's one way she brings in money for things like solar panels, underwear, shoes, and meat other than chicken--more money than her magic does. She's also a bow hunter (I came up with this idea on my morning commute): "it gives the deer and turkeys a fighting chance. Besides, I can't make a gun, and arrows are reusable unlike bullets." Her hunting vest ensures she will never be mistaken for a deer or young bear--wild yellow, orange, turquoise and violet patchwork. Do you think Al needs one too? She has fabric left over, though not much of the violet.
