[forward dated to christmas eve! It's snowing softly, and inside her pavilion, a dragon is reading a scroll with oversized characters that's spread out between her talons.]

I would only wish that this news had come sooner.

((DROP POST. I'll be slow but I will get back to it FOREVER.))

--Oi, Dragonlady! Are you in there?

[deuilblanc]

You can see me quite clearly; have you only come here to question me in such a foolish way?

[alwaysuserubber]

Hahaha, it's 'cause you're the same color as the snow! I was just checking!

[deuilblanc]

[. . . if I knew you less well I would be like ARE YOU SERIOUS]

[weaving and hopping through the snow in a roundabout course towards her pavilion]

Pyaaaa pya pya

[deuilblanc]

You will freeze, if you are not careful.

[swornmyoaths]

Bya?

[starts moving in a straight line towards her]

[deuilblanc]

[tilts her ruff back a fraction and watches him come]

[has come bearing GIFTS!]

What news?

[deuilblanc]

. . . Teito.

[gestures to the scroll]

If this is correct, I will be free by morning.

[aneye4aneye]

Free? Of-- you don't mean...?

[deuilblanc]

[tips her ruff back a fraction, unconsciously]

I do.

[blindstheworld]

[ALSO COMES BEARING GIFTS. And possibly a Kururu]

Has something happened, Madame Lien?

[deuilblanc]

[inclines her head]

Indeed, Princess.

[blindstheworld]

From your words, I hope that it is welcome news.

[deuilblanc]

In most ways. It seems I am to be freed from this place.

[JUST PASSING BY]

[. . . 8D]

[sticks her head out. POLITEST TONE EVER]

Xiang, if I may have a word?

[canhascow]

Certainly; I am in no hurry to be anywhere at the moment.

[deuilblanc]

I am pleased to hear it; it would be double the offense to interrupt you when you had other matters to which you need attend.
