[ He mutters because he can guess what the look is about as he places the glass on the side table and lets out a sigh. ]
It's the holidays, Five. Maybe cut them a little slack.
[ He says in a low enough voice just for Five to hear. Five looks at him like he's stupid. ]
This is all the slack they are getting from me.
[ He's allowed them to be here and he hasn't tried to rip their faces off for touching his girlfriend. That's all the Christmas spirit he has got for them. ]
