[A very snow covered redhead is now standing in front of a fire in the Christmas car, not that he really wants to even be in this car but it was the first one after the snowball war one. That was not particularly fun

[Marlene had been snoozing under the tree again when she heard someone walk in and woke up. She pokes her head out from under the tree, tinsel dangling from her hair.

At first, she looks very happy. But it doesn't last long. Oh, it's you. Marlene yawns and settles down back under the tree, laying her head on her arm and watching him. What are you doing in my tree car? D:<]

[brulureanneau]

[Well, since Marlene isn't going to bother him Lavi's just. Going to. Tug. It. Off.

...

It won't come off.]

[lovemrbubbles]

Don't pull the sock down.

[brulureanneau]

[He blinks and looks over his shoulder.]

Why not Marlene?

[Look! He remembers you! From being told about her anyway.]

[lovemrbubbles]

[Her head twitches at her name, and she looks a little hopeful. Still not coming out to greet you yet, though.]

The man won't put your presents in it.

[brulureanneau]

[Kinda sad grin.]

I won't get anything but coal and switches. No point in it.

[lovemrbubbles]

Coal and switches?

[brulureanneau]

It's what Santa brings to the bad boys and girls.

Didn't I tell you abou-- Ngk! [Memory pain.

Lavi drops his hold on the stocking and grips his head with one hand, gritting his teeth.]

[lovemrbubbles]

[O-oh dear. She tilts her head and crawls out from under the tree.

Creeping closer.]

Lavi? You're..... you're sick?

[brulureanneau]

N-no. [He's somewhat leaning against the mantel.

Trying to give Marlene a reassuring grin but it's probably not working.]

My head just started to hurt is all. I'll be fine. [Maybe.

Right now he's getting a lot of pressure in his head, like a dam about to burst.]

[lovemrbubbles]

[She hesitates before stepping toward him and touching his hand.

Just gonna... watch.]

You're sick.

[brulureanneau]

[There's a small twitch of his hand, not a flinch. He doesn't pull away either.]

Maybe.

I was just out in a snowball car.

[lovemrbubbles]

You didn't get dry?

[D: The last time I walked around all wet I got sick! Why'd you do that, Lavi? Dx

She pulls her hand back and folds them in front of her.]

[brulureanneau]

I just left it. See?

[He lets go of his head to pick some slush off his shoulders and holds it out to her.

All he needs is a "pebble" thrown at the damn to break it.]

[lovemrbubbles]

She doesn't want you to get sick....

[Translate: Stay in front of the fireplace.

She looks at his hand and then looks away.]

She played in the water once and she got sick. Doesn't like being sick. Her nose hurts....

[brulureanneau]

The rain car...right?

[How'd he remember that?

Lavi winces again and puts both hands to his head, starting to sit on the ground.]
