...Ah. I just realized. Why am I in a hospital?

[ OOC: Yes, he missed Christmas. He was awake for it, but pretty catatonic. He's finally responsive now, though. ...A little. ]

A-Alfons!

[opfern]

Nill...

[caged_song]

A-Are you feeling okay...?

[opfern]

I feel fine. Sorry to worry you.

[caged_song]

I-I'm glad...can Nill come over and visit right now?

[opfern]

If you like. I'm not really sure which room I'm in though...

[caged_song]

Nill will be right over then!

[opfern]

All right.

[and Nill's there, rushed into his room all flushed from running as fast as she can. Two books in her hand~ His christmas present]

[ Startled at seeing her so soon, Alfons sits up, gawking a bit. ]

Nill! ...Did you run here?

[ He smiles at this and waits patiently before noticing the presents. Raising an eyebrow, he nods to them. ]

I hope those aren't for me. Don't tell me it's Christmas already? How long was I out?

[she smiles softly and walks up, placing the books on his bedside before signing in return]

They are, I hope you haven't read these yet. Christmas passed several days ago...Alfons was out for several days.

[ With a blink, Alfos replays what she just signed to him in his head. Had he misread? No, he had become very adept in sign language with Nill. They were at the same level! ]

God, I hadn't even realized... Ah, this is embarrassing. I hadn't gotten you a present yet.

[Blinks surprisedly. Embarrassing? She didn't quite see how. She smiles reassuringly]

That's okay. Seeing Alfons better is already a good enough present.

[ Her sincerity is touching, and he quickly leans over to gently pull her into a hug. ]

Thank you, Nill.
