Christmas Day - Later (OPEN for visitors/guests/friends)

[walkthedawn]

[When everyone else arrives for dinner, more gift-giving, and chatting. There's ham and turkey, stuffing, mashed potatoes, a salad, corn, biscuits, plenty of cookies, pies, and candy, and so much more.

There's also a cooked goose...but that's for Aslan.

Any visitors can drop off their gifts under the tree or give them to whomever.]

Your... purpose? [It makes her pause for a minute, looking awkward and thinking. Her own purpose was over as far as others and herself knew, and yet she was still here.

She's close enough to reach out to him and her hand shakes and hovers just over his mane, a little unsure.]

How can you tell... that you still have one?

[aslandish]

[ He does not draw away, the look in his eyes a gentle one. ]

The same way I know that the sun rises in the east.

Everything that lives has a purpose all its own.

[linkings]

[She quietly gulps and dips her hand into his mane, visibly surprised at how soft it was.]

You always sound so sure of your purpose... and so positive that everyone has one.

[aslandish]

[ Very soft and very warm. ]

I am certain.

[linkings]

[She pets a little more, creeping a little closer.]

That's nice. I... I'm not sure about things like that myself. I thought my purpose was over.

[Roxas smiles when he sees their friend-their father-there like he's always been. Well, he certainly belongs.

He doesn't hesitate before bending over to hug the lion, burying his face in Aslan's mane.]

Merry Christmas.

[aslandish]

[ All the hugs ever.

He smiles, as he has for them all. Though they hail from many different worlds, he loves them like his own. ]

Merry Christmas.

[pullsheavendown]

[He grins when he pulls away, full of the Christmas spirit and all that.]

There's a lot of food and everything. Riku made you a goose again.

[aslandish]

[ It's rather catching, isn't it?

His eyes are bright with good humor. ]

I know.

He has outdone himself.

[pullsheavendown]

It's a special occasion. We're all together...you're back with us.

Hey, do they have Christmas in your world?

[aslandish]

We do.

[pullsheavendown]

Is it very different from how is it here?

[aslandish]

It is a time a great happiness and celebration.

Father Christmas is a purveyor of many gifts.

[pullsheavendown]

Father Christmas...like Santa Claus.

I hope he brings something for you this year.

[aslandish]

The very same.

[ A quiet smile. ]

As he will for you.
