Aideen was a bit startled by the gruff voice, but didn't allow it to show. She was always taught to never let anyone surprise her. She watched a very big and muscular man stroll out from the darkness behind her, drinking a beer. "No I'm not. Not one for being hit on every second either," she said quietly glancing across the room at Diesel laughing with Lorelei. She didn't want to start a confrontation today. She didn't know who this man was, though most likely a teacher, but obviously not the traditional type. She didn't feel the pressure to be so formal with him.
Aideen looked at the tree with a bit of awe shining in her dark eyes. "I don't know if I should. Never had a Christmas Tree before," she said softly and shrugged her shoulders.

Lorelai smiled at Aideen when she spoke to her and nodded as well before she had walked off, and then turned to Ian, unable to help rolling her eyes at him. His imitation of the Santa laugh amused her and so she laughed, but gave him a look when he asked her if she was naughty or nice. "I'll let you decide that, eh?" she said, smirking with a wink.
When he complimented her, her smirk softened into a smile, "Thank you. You look pretty good yourself. And you keep telling yourself that," she said with a laugh.

Ian grinned and winked at Lorelei. "Yup she's falling for my charms," he said laughing. He loved Christmas it was such a spirited holiday that put everyone in good cheers. Even Aideen over there. When he looked over at her sitting alone and talking to a big guy, he smirked thinking of the pretty pyro. Ian turned back to Lorelei and began singing a Christmas Carol.
"You better watch out, You better not cry, Better not pout I'm telling you why,Santa Claus is coming to town! He's making a list, And checking it twice; Gonna find out Who's naughty and nice. Santa Claus is coming to town! He sees you when you're sleeping, He knows when you're awake He knows if you've been bad or good So be good for goodness sake!" he sang in his deep voice taking in the Christmas spirit and wanting everyone to be in a good mood.

"With rooty toot toots and rummy tum tums- sumthin sumthin sumthin I'm not too good with singin songs...Santa Claus is comin- Wolvie!!! You decorated!!" Shadowkat beamed as she watched Logan put an ornament on the tree. It was the most she ever could remember him doing at Christmas.
She got up and followed him back to the table to give him a big hug. "It's been so long, we weren't sure if you were coming back to teach or what...? Merry-" *smeck* she kissed his cheek "-Christmas!"

"Velcome home Logan!" Kurt called down. He was dangling by his tail above the tree attempting, with guidance from Beast to put the star juuuust right on the very top of it. "It vould be a far different place vissout you here, I am also qvite glad you've returned." he said.

Aideen watched the reunion among the friends in silence, not wanting to disturb them. Logan... Wolvie? Logan suited the man but she hoped for his sake 'Wolvie' was short for something else. Everyone seemed to be in such a good mood and even the jackass' singing added to the festivities. Her Uncle never allowed anything like this to go on, saying it was unnecessary and frivolous. She did like it though, the big tree the good spirits.
She wondered if all Christmases were like this here. Aideen leaned more into the shadows and curled one leg under her, content with just quietly sitting and watching the happiness that she had never seen firsthand on this holiday.

"You know Wolverine, a beer doesn't sound half bad." Cyclops said as he took a break from hanging ornaments on the tree to head over and grab a beer.
"Any luck out there?" He asked as he reached into the brown paper bag at Logans feet. He looked at the label before trying to twist off the cap. It was a german brewery he could maybe pronounce if he had a day to sound it out, but he wasn't trying to say it - just drink it.

"Naahh...Here give it here, you need a bottle opener." He reached over and took Cyclops' beer in his left hand twisting his right hand into a fist in front of him a sound of 'SNIKT' acompanied a foot long blade as it emerged from the back of his hand.
Using the tip of his claw he flung the cap off the bottle with ease, and retracted the claw back into his arm with a 'SNAKT' sound. "No luck, still at a loss- trail's gone cold I think...but I'm ready to go if anything comes up." He said as he handed the beer back to Cyclops.

Lorelai rolled her eyes again and spoke with a playful scoff. "Sure she is, that's why she walked away to go sit by herself, because she's falling for your charms," she said, laughing again. When Ian burst out into Christmas carols, she stopped laughing as her eyes widened and snickered. Even still she couldn't help but hum along as one of the teachers finished his sentence. As she heard the other teachers perk up in happiness at the arrival of someone, she turned around to see who it was, and saw a man who near Aideen, talking to another teacher. She looked at them curiously for a moment before turning back to Ian with a smirk.

Clutch beamed slightly as she waled into the cafeteria, she loved christmas, it being the most festive and joyful time of year. For this occasion, she had decided to go all out, after all, back home she was one of the most merry in her family. Tonight she decided to wear her "Mrs. Clause" outfit, which consisted of her knee length red skirt with white fluffy lining and her her red longsleeve top and waistcoat, all trimmed with a white fluffy material.
With her, she carried a bag with her assortments of girfts for boh the teachers and students. She had tried to find out who everyone was, but she wasn't sure if she had got everyone, so had a few girfts to spare, just in case. "Merry Christmas!" she cheered with her thick finnish accent, grinning her wide smile as she looked around the room. Clutch then made her way over toward the tree, nodding to everyone as she passed them and kneeled down to unload the bad of girft under the tree.

Lian cam in, and spotted Ember across the room. She made her way uncertainly over. 'Hey,' she said, 'Can anyone join the party or is it members only?' She didn't know if she was too late, but, well, she had had a hard time deciding whether to come or not.

Aideen smiled slightly at the site of a very cheerful and happy Clutch walking in to join the party. She had a big bag of presents with her and was piling them under the tree looking cute as ever dressed in a Mrs. Claus outfit. Aideen had never seen people be so happy with Christmas. She felt bad that the best gifts she got were for her team. Everyone else got a coffee mug with their name on it, because she was so unsure of what anyone liked. Her Uncle Gard always said that practicality is the key to gift giving, so she figured everyone could benefit with a mug.
She looked up at Ripple, a little surprised that she spotted her in the shadows. Aideen nodded slightly. "Sure go ahead, Merry Christmas Lian" she said quietly with a bit of a smile. Aideen then looked back at the friendly conversation of the teachers, observing the happy reunion among them.

Ian stopped his singing when he saw a dark haired girl walk into the room dressed as Mrs. Claus. His smile took over his whole face at the site. "Well lookie here! Mrs. Claus! How nice of you to join us. Righteous outfit. And give my regards to Good Ol' Nick!" he said laughing and winking at the girl. "Merry Christmas! I don't think I know your name yet, so I'll stick to Mrs. Claus for now," Ian said smiling easily. He was in a great mood from all the cheer that seemed to be with everyone today.
With a big mischievous grin, Ian took out a paper bag and looked over to the two girls and winked. "Time to spread the Christmas spirit to my favorite Spitfire," he said laughing. Ian liked Aideen despite her fiery nature and her severe dislike for him. He walked over to where Aideen sat amongst the teachers and Ian nodded easily to them smiling. "Merry Christmas Professors," he said with a polite infectious smile. He absolutely loved Christmas and he was planning on celebrating today as best as he could despite how he was so far from home.
Ian slid into the seat next to Aideen and smiled at the other dark haired girl next to her. He turned to Aideen and smiled at her. "Hey there Spitfire. Glad to see you're in the Christmas Spirit. Nice smile you got there," he said with a goofy grin wondering if she would end up lighting him on fire. But it was Christmas and she seemed to be enjoying himself. Hell maybe MAYBE she'll be nice to him. Ian grinned widely at her and took something out of a paper bag. It was a headband with a wire and a mistletoe that attached over his head. He put it on and pretended to look surprised. "Oh look Spitfire! A mistletoe! What a coincidence and how lucky," Ian said with a goofy smirk. "Can't break tradition can we Spitfire?" he said with a raised eyebrow.

Logan took a long pull on his bottle of beer and looked around the room. 'They get younger every year' he thought and then turned his head to see what would happen between the two kids and the miseltoe hat.

For the first time all day, Aideen wished that the professors would disappear so she could just make a roast of this jackass and give Dr. Hannibal Lector and Ed Gein a call for a barbecue. But in the spirit of Christmas and the fact that she was in the watchful eye of the teachers, she kept the flames that sparked from her fingers in very small almost unnoticeable flames. Instead, a coy smile found its way to her lips. Getting angry would not get her anywhere and probably end up setting the tree on fire. But their are other ways to get revenge.
Aideen leaned forward. "Tradition? Well can't break tradition now can I?" she said elegantly arching an eyebrow. She raised her slim finger tips to her lips and kissed her fingers. When she moved her fingers back to blow a kiss, a strip of flames came out of her mouth and stopped mere inches away from Diesel's mouth, not burning him but enough for him to feel the heat. Aideen stopped blowing and the flames disappeared into her fingertips. She smirked at him with a satisfied expression reflecting in her liquid dark eyes. She stood up and placed a finger under Diesel's chin. "Don't mess with me little boy, you will not win. You are not old enough or enough of a man to take my heat," she said amused though quite serious. Aideen moved away from him and walked in her graceful light stride to the other side of the room, quite satisfied with how she handled that.
She walked to the other side of the tree and sat quietly to admire it with an amused satisfied smirk on her face.
