[Lavi made a list, checked it twice. Though he really didn't care about the naughty or nice part. Why should they be denied the joy of Christmas
( Read more... )
[Nope, sorry. Miranda's still sleeping. She had no one to celebrate with and no gifts to give... And she was sure Santa didn't come to the dressing room so she decided to sleep in.]
[Well, Lavi will knock on her door three times during the course of the morning/afternoon to see if she's home. If not, he'll leave her present waiting for her by the door]
[She opens the door sleepily. No bandages on her head today. The nurses wanted to air out the wound for a few days since its healing well. Although her arms are still bandaged.]
I have a few minutes... Yes...
[Miranda's room seems to be a little more quiet than usual... Like something is missing...]
[That is indeed whats missing. All of Colin's dog items; his toys, bowls and even his food is sitting in his tiny dog bed under her table. The dog wasn't here when she came back... And there has been no sign of him since.]
[She tilts her head for a moment, then looks back into her room.]
Oh!... The dog!... I... I don't know. He wasn't here when I came back... I-Infact... I actually forgot I had one... Link reminded me when I ran into him... I don't even remember what he looks like.
[She scratches the back of her head and moves to sit on her bed... There was a lot of drama going on back home...]
I forgot everything about him... But sometimes back home I'd have dreams where a small shadow followed me everywhere and was always with me... In my dreams it didn't have a shape, I don't know if it was a dog.
And those memories haven't come back yet? [Even though she had been in the DR for a few weeks now?]
[Lavi pauses a bit, not sure if this was the best Christmas conversation. He had come with the intent to make Miranda happy, not guilty over not remembering her dog...]
[Slips in and drops his bag of gifts by the door. He leaves the doggie treat where it is in the depths of his bag and goes hunting around for Miranda's gift instead]
You're not spending all of today in your room, are you?

Morning!
[Peeking in around her shoulder to see if he can find her cute little puppy. Lavi even brought him a doggie treat]
[... He really hopes that's not what's missing]

Thank you.

Miranda, where's Colin?

I wanted to at least make some Christmas cookies, but the nurses didn't want me using my arms for something like that and I had no one to help me...
Lavi... I hope you have nothing inside of that bag for me... Because I have nothing to give you in return.

And if you need a baking buddy, my afternoon is free.
