“Would you bring those items over here already , what is with you two and finding mediocre gifts to hand out during the cold season and you do it every year”

A harsh tone came from the otherside of the cave as the sound of large claws scraped against the stone floor, as the figure rummaged through a large pile of what he called junk and others thought they were great gifts. As two figures approached, laying more items they had found out and about onto the cave floor waiting for the third figure to turn his attention back to them.

“Oh come on Trespasser like you found any of this, you just come and hand things out with me and Bulrush don’t be so picky ya old grinch”  a pale feathered cryo said who went by Mocker as he walked up to the pile and picked out some items he thought would make some great gifts for others. Mocker and Bulrush had been gathering items for a fair bit now and wanted to include Trespasser as the grumpy cryo never left his cave often and the three were counting over what they had found even if Trespasser thought the objects were junk they would be gifts to others and they were about to head out to meet other dinosaurs.

Bulrush leaned down grabbing a claws full of the objects before motioning to Trespasser who was taking his sweet time as he leaned down picking out the best “Junk” he wanted to hand out for gifts, as him and Mocker were already to head out and they had a long walk ahead of them and not to mention the snow had been a lot deeper the past few days with the incoming snow fall.

“Does everyone have what they want to take, we have gifts to hand out and Trespasser try and be cheerful it is the season of giving not grumpiness” Bulrush said as he walked outside of the cave giving a chuckle as he watched the black and grey scaled cryo roll his eyes and growl under his breath.

The three made their way out of the cave all holding the objects and set off to head to a well known frozen pond that often had traffic around it during the day and Bulrush decided that it would ba good start to their gift giving, Trespasser and Mocker followed closely as they took in the snowy outside around them which really pushed the cheer and event feeling, they needed to hand out their first gifts and anyone who they stumbled past would do.

Mocker was ahead of Bulrush and Trespasser as he scouted out for any dinosaur he could see but none crossed their path yet and they were getting closer to the frozen pond but the further Mocker went ahead he could hear conversation from other dinosaurs as he spotted a group of cryo’s who were out looking for a hunt to do but seemed to be coming up emptied handed and Mocker had just the right idea. 

Rushing back to Trespasser and Bulrush he let them know that he had found some dinosaurs to give out their gifts too, even if the other group looked mensching all that mattered was the giving of the gifts.

“Up ahead there is some cryo’s we could gift the items to although they do look a little scary and serious looking, Trespasser might be of help” Mocker said as he looked at Trespasser who sighed and nodded before going first, as they approached the other cryo’s Trespasser looked back before getting some cheerful encouragement from Mocker and Bulrush to go forwards and with a head shake he did.

“Hello Hope you are all well, me and my friends wanted to gift you some objects for what they call presents this year, would you like them we have one for everyone” Trespasser said giving off a awkward smile as Mocker and Bulrush came down and held the gifts out with the other Cryo’s confused at first but then noticed all the presents and nodded as the lead cryo took the gift from Trespassers claws and the others from Mocker and Bulrush.

“How thoughtful of you three, these gifts are cool, where did you find them and why so cheerful ? Usually the cold season brings grumpiness with it?” the cryo said, looking at the gift before thanking Mocker and Bulrush who stepped in to explain the cheer and giving part since that wasn’t Trespassers strong suit.

“ We do it every year, it is just something we like to do with friends and allow others to enjoy the festive  feeling” Bulrush said with a smile as he watched the other cryos enjoy the gifts they had gotten, with Mocker also nodding as Bulrush explained the reasoning behind it.

The stranger cryo’s smiled at the explanation and thanked Bulrush and Mocker before the others approached Trespasser and thanked the rougher cryo for the thoughtful gifts he had picked out, that all of them had picked out it was a nice feeling they felt when they handed it out along with Trespasser joining in with them.

After awhile once the groups had conversed they decided it was time to move on and besides the three had more gifts to hand out and they weren’t even close to the frozen pond, picking up their items they all decided they were nowhere close to done giving and wanted to hand out more gifts to others they would cross.

With Trespasser, Mocker and Bulrush feeling the spirit of giving after their first group, they were excited to move onto the frozen pond where they would encounter a lot more dinosaurs who would be awaiting random gifts that would be given to them at random from the group.

“Time to do some more giving , are you guys ready!” Bulrush said before getting the nod of approval from Mocker and Trespasser who held their items up high, gift giving was always a fun task and it was time to hand out more.
