Thank you so much, this is a very lovely shirt! I'll owl you your present as soon as I get back from Africa.

Why don't you teach him to walk? Can he crawl?

[fallingblack]

Oh, you're welcome. Happy Christmas. I hope your honeymoon is treating you well.

Oh, yes, he loves to crawl everywhere. And we're working on walking, it just depends on how interested he is in it. Sometimes he'd just rather sit. He's still got plenty of time to learn.

[juste_skeeter]

Merry Christmas to you, too. It is treating me very well! This is such a nice sort of place, Africa.

That sounds terribly exciting, he must've grown up quite a bit since you last saw him.

[fallingblack]

I'm glad. Is it very hot there?

He has, it's amazing what a few months can do. He still recognizes me, though, so that is good.

[juste_skeeter]

It's extremely hot! But we're right by Lake Malawi, so I can go swimming whenever I like. We had a sweltering Christmas, it was terribly strange.

That's so brilliant, does he look somewhat similar to you, still?

[fallingblack]

I couldn't imagine, it's dreadfully cold in England. It wouldn't feel like Christmas otherwise.

Oh, yes. And this time with a little hair. It's amazing.

[juste_skeeter]

Is it snowing? It feels like an extension of summer over here. It didn't feel like Christmas, there was no snow fight.

He must be so adorable. Children always are.

[fallingblack]

It was just a little. Not a lot.

They are, it's horrible of them.

[juste_skeeter]

Oh, that's alright then. Did you have a nice Christmas?

How is it horrible?

[fallingblack]

I did, yes. It was small, but I enjoyed it.

Oh, it isn't. I was just being silly.

[juste_skeeter]

That sounds really lovely, did you spend it with your family?

Ahah, I see.

[fallingblack]

I did, yes. For about an hour. And then my parents went on their own ways and I played with my brother.

[juste_skeeter]

Oh. That sounds alright.
