[In preparation for the holiday season, the Dressing Room has gone out of its way to decorate a fair number of the evergreens into Christmas trees. There is no method to the madness as only some of the trees outside have decorations and an even more random number of trees indoors have lights and tinsel and ornaments

[Jeez boy you are loud. Enough she can hear him out in the hallway.

But she'll go investigate the crash, stopping in the doorway before coming around the room to the tree.

She only gets about halfway before she stops again, catching immediately just who it is.] Lavi?

[besomeothername]

[She loves him for it]

[Brushing broken bits of shatter proof ornaments out of his year. Yeah, someone was going to have to have a word with the manufacturer. He blink before he twists and turns to see her properly. Lavi knew that voice from anywhere]

Love~ ♥ I made it back in time for Christmas.

[tempersword]

You--[Love. He just called her Love. He's still him even if he did go home.

Darts the rest of the way, dropping to her knees (or kneeling, standing, whatever she has to do to reach him) and wrapping her arms around him tightly.]

[besomeothername]

[Makes a bit of an eep sound. He wasn't quite expecting that. But when the shock wears off, he disentangles an arm enough to gently run his fingers through her hair. And he leans over to place a kiss on her cheek]

I'm sorry, Love.

[Sorry for making her worry. Sorry for leaving her behind. Sorry for leaving her alone here where she really only had one Alma to lean on when he was gone]

Are you all right?

[tempersword]

I'm fine. [Tucks her head down a little. And yeah, it actually is kind of lonely when you're down to one person you don't get to see all the time. Who would have thought.]

Did you go home?

[besomeothername]

[Lavi is not quite sure if he believes Yupunzel or not. While he was getting the warm butterflies from her reactions, they weren't normal for someone as proud and strong as herself. But he'll just turn that worry into finding out a way to make it up to her]

No. My flower arranging room got turned into a portal, yeah. A portal to somewhere kind of strange. Like a low budget Dressing Room with more zombies.

[tempersword]

[Furrows her brow. A what?]

... Somewhere like the place I went to? [But she presumes with mostly versions of themselves again. And zombies.]

[besomeothername]

Less dark and dreary. No collars and asylums. More open space. And lots of interesting characters.

[Playfully tugs on her hair]

A met a princess with pink hair and one with this lovely shade of blue.

Are you going to let me dye yours someday?

[Shifting a little bit against her, trying to get his other arm free]

[tempersword]

No. [Pulls back a bit at the shifting--right, Lavi's still tangled up. Reaches to start untangling him.]

Were you all right? [He sounds fine, at any rate.]

[besomeothername]

[Laughs out loud at that. Oh Yupunzel, Yupunzel. He hopes that you never change]

Zombies and ghosts are our specialty, yeah. Nothing too scary about them.

[And still fumbling around until he manages to pick up a folded piece of parchment from his pocket and hold it up in front of her nose]

[tempersword]

[Stops in her untangling and blinks, crossing her eyes and takes it.

--Ah.] The letter?

[besomeothername]

[Yes, Lavi's letter, which he had meant to give her sooner than later. But he really didn't have control over ending up in Never Never Land, so it had ended up being later]

[The parchment and ink is not of the best quality. He really hadn't found much to work with. That place had been barren for the most part. But there is a dried and preserved white daisy that has been carefully nestled between the folds of the paper]

I didn't mean to keep you waiting so long.

[And if she wants to open it now, he'll take the time to finish freeing himself from the clutches of the Christmas tree]

[tempersword]

[No, she'll help him get himself free first. Then she can look at it.]

[besomeothername]

[Then in a minute or two, he'll be free besides some glitter in his hair and a length of blinking Christmas lights that he is coiling around his arm. He has an idea for that later]

Thanks, Love. It would have taken a lot of time and property damage to get out of there by myself.

[tempersword]

[Reaches to dust some glitter from his hair.] I think you already caused enough of that.

[besomeothername]

[When she takes a step closer to him, he'll use her proximity to sweep her off her feet, spinning around in a girl and grinning down at her. He had missed Yupunzel. Missed her more than he could put into words]

Oh really? I was just getting started.
