[There's a lengthy silence at the beginning of the post, so those who are impatient might not stay tuned for what comes after. He won't mind. His mind's on bigger things. His voice is carefully disguised as he recites a few lines:]

Are you sure
That we are awake?
It seems to me
That yet we sleep, we dream

[Wataru laughs faintly, this laugh his own, undisguised.]

You know... The strangest thing happened. I was here, preparing to celebrate this place's Christmas, and I noticed my chroma ebbing at a higher rate than usual. I don't remember entirely what came next--I think I laid down to rest, and I dreamed I was home again. For a matter of months, actually. Now, I've returned to find the date advanced a week, and the good keepers here acting as though I'd physically left. I hope I haven't worried anyone in my absence, but if I have, I'll offer my sincere apologies! The show must, and will, go on.

Though, more importantly... Has anyone seen a white dove? She answers to the name Jeanne D'Arc, and she's quite the talent.

Welcome back, my dear friend. My child was worried about you.

[demachi]

Dear me, I worried the child on Christmas! Unforgivable! Shall we meet soon so I may play a jolly part?

[hagrides]

They have no particular attachment to Christmas, worry not. But they would be happy to see you regardless.

[demachi]

And unfortunately I have a particular fondness for the day! I'd intended to deliver a little something to your doorstep for the child!

[hagrides]

Perhaps you will make their first Christmas an amazing one.

[demachi]

Is it not too late? I have no idea what transpired while I was gone. Didn't jolly Saint Nick visit?

[hagrides]

Between you and me, I do not think they will realize if any presents are late.

[demachi]

They are quite young, aren't they? one I have my affairs in order, I'll stop by!

I do hope your holiday was joyous, though.

[hagrides]

I am a vessel of fire. I am not much fond of the freezing cold.

[It's one of the few things he'll grump about, just a little.]

[demachi]

My, then this really isn't your time of year... alas. I shall bring you something warm to make up for it!

[hagrides]

You are a true friend, and I look forward to your visit.
