[Bonfire season has always been Rebekah’s favorite holiday tradition. They’re doing it a little later than usual this year, to accommodate for Alice’s new place in their family as well as other people who needed to be elsewhere but eventually the evening arrives, the bonfire is lit in the courtyard of the Abattoir, and she begins to pass out the small slips of paper, particularly to the newer members of the family.]
You write a wish for the new year on it. You don’t tell anyone what it is, and you burn it in the fire.
( Doc crouches down and asks Henry a question before he leans in to listen to what he's whispering for.
Hope taps her paper against her palm as she thinks, glancing at her girlfriend across the fire. Elijah thinks to himself, smiles, and writes something succinct before dropping it in. Klaus waits to see when others will participate, but his pen is ready when they are.
Derek brushes a shoulder up against his sister. He doesn't know what to write. He also checks in with his back from the dead sister who survived the trip to Mystic Falls and back. For the three of them, everything feels the most up in the air.
Kol doesn't hesitate, writes his wish, folds it up and holds his arm out. He lets the flame catch the edge of the paper. Letting go, it drops into the fire. )
[The parade of people wind their way through the room as they leave their wishes in the fire, and Alice considers briefly before writing hers and depositing it in the fire. Once she's done, she winds her way back to where Hope is sitting and settles next to her.]
