A Cath's guide to Christmas: bacon, portals, and trophy's.

Carelian doesn't understand human holidays. The noise, the crowds, the bizarre obsession with wrapping paper -- it's all very confusing for a Cath warrior far from his realm. But his quean Cori seems happy, so he'll endure the chaos of "Christmas" for her sake.

Between eating bacon, helping with perfume disasters, and posing majestically for admirers, Carelian tries to be useful. But he knowns he needs his own trophy for the tree.

A heartwarming holiday tale about found family, fierce loyalty, and one Cath's determination to make sure his human knows she's loved -- even if his gifts are not appreciated.

This a short story set in the Ternion Universe. Takes place between Hired Luck and Educated Luck
