Frostfall is here, and Filth loves having a family to enjoy it with.
Any family works, really, considering he doesn’t have one of his own.
No, he simply waits until the first bit of frost comes as a forewarning that it’s time to find somewhere warm, and then picks a set of likely candidates at random.
This year, it’s the Evenses. There’s Mister Evenses, and Missus Evenses, and Brat Evenses, and Crybaby Evenses.
He likes them quite a lot - or more accurately, he likes their house quite a lot. They have an old fashioned cellar, the door of which is in the kitchen pantry, which is very convenient. He’s dug himself a hole in the cellar to bed down in, and meals are always waiting for him at the top of the steps, after he’s shoved aside whatever they’ve tried to barricade the door with this time. Wood magic usually makes that part easier.
He helps himself to Frostfall roasts and christmas cookies, rotting everything he doesn’t want with a gentle touch of death magic before descending back down into his accommodations.
The flowers and strong, aromatic herbs that Missus Evenses tries to string up in the kitchen to mask his corpse-like odor permanently emanating from the cellar all wilt as he passes, though she doggedly strings up more the next day. It’s cute.
What’s even cuter is when he sees all the frostfall presents arranged under a great big tree in the living room one day, wrapped as pretty as a picture for the impending gift-giving.
It’s very thoughtful of them, and he has quite a lot of fun ripping up all the wrapping and seeing what they’ve given him. It’s even funner dangling the toys where Brat Evenses and Crybaby Evenses can see from down the hallway, the both of them looking utterly distraught as he smears his hands on everything. He takes delight in claiming each and every gift, wrapping them all up in a previously pristine fluffy white throw blanket from the couch and hauling them downstairs to marvel over his presents for that year.
