Bookmark Notes:
“Do you want to put the fairy up on the tree, Markl?”
Markl blinked at him, surprised he wasn’t asking Sophie, but even more surprised that Sophie was smiling at him as well and nodding.
“I don’t think I’m tall enough, Master Howl.”
Howl grinned and ruffled the boy’s curly hair.
“That’s not a problem Markl. Here, you take hold of her and I’ll pick you up, alright?”
Markl nodded excitedly, prompting a laugh from Sophie and Calcifer.
He gently took hold of the small thread running through the fairy’s back, and nodded at Howl to let him know that he was ready. With a one, two, three! he was hoisted up into the air before being manoeuvred closer to the tree so he could wrap the thread around the highest branch available.
Howl dropped him down with a slightly sharp exhale, his blue hair in his face. He smiled at Markl, and then at Sophie.
Sophie’s eyes lit up before running and closing all the curtains to block any and all light from coming through, so at the end of it all there was just the softly glowing tree and Calcifer to illuminate the room. Howl wrapped an arm around Sophie’s waist, pulling her in, and placed a hand on Markl’s shoulder.
Clearing his throat, Markl asked, “Sophie, is there any other things we do to get ready for Christmas?”
Sophie grinned.
“Markl, we’ve barely even begun!”
