underhisprotection[It's been a long, long day, but then again, Christmas always is in the best sort of way. And the fact that most of it's spent hopping around in a time machine doesn't really help matters much, so it's probably been a little more than a day for the four of them.
They've popped by Cheem, visiting Nina's Grandmother Willow and the rest of her family there, even if their way of celebrating's a bit different. Different planet, different holiday, after all, but it was similar enough. And, of course, they made sure to visit the Oswalds. Oswin knows that her parents go absolutely mad with worry if she doesn't contact them at least once every couple of days and not stopping by for Christmas just seems cruel. Especially given that she hadn't been around for the last one.
But now, they're all back on the TARDIS, just resting after a busy day. Oswin's curled herself up in front of one of the fireplaces in the library, where her favorite of the multiple Christmas trees that are scattered about the ship is set up. They're all kept alive, the trees, as per Nina's request and thanks to the TARDIS herself, and they'll be replanted somewhere in the universe once Christmas is over.
But, for now, the lights twinkle away in the glow of the fire, and Oswin lets herself relax for a bit, sipping from the mug of cocoa in her hands. No tea today, it's just not Christmas-y enough. There's a book open in her lap, but she's not so much reading it as gazing at the pages as she rests. Normally, she's a bit opposed to peaceful, but for today, she's pretty sure she can stand it a bit longer.]
