Do... with as often as we keep moving, do you think Father Christmas will still find us?

Do... Do you think they even have Christmas here?

[ Lara and her family did the whole Santa is real thing, but with her parents, it was more Santa is real if you’d like him to be. They let Lara decide whether she wanted to believe in the man or not and when she decided she didn’t believe. This girl sounds so unsure that Lara rolls with it. Maybe at present it’s what she needs? ]

I should certainly hope so. I asked for a puppy this year and would be upset to hear he couldn’t get it to me.

[madcuriosity]

Oh, I do hope you get your puppy, miss.

What did you wish for this year?

[ Because Lara plans on shopping for this kid. ]

[madcuriosity]

Oh ah, well... I really want a new winter dress, with ribbons and lace and in a deep warm purple. I know red or green is more traditional, but if it's purple, I don't have to wear it only for Christmas time!

Oh! And a matching bow for my kitten.

I'm sure you'll look lovely in it, whatever the color.

How about this? If you don't get this for Christmas, I'll take you shopping and we'll find a dress for you. Does that sound good?

[madcuriosity]

Oh... ah... that's very kind of you miss. Are you sure you want to take a stranger shopping?

[Even Beast, the big sourpuss that he is when it comes to Christmas, can't find it in his heart to dash a child's dreams.]

Well, he's magic, isn't he? And magic can do just about anything, right? So he'll find us without too much fuss.

[She lets out a small breath.]

Oh thank goodness. I was terribly worried.

[learningtolove]

Were you good this year? That's what I'd worry more about.

[madcuriosity]

Well... I... I do try to be. I think I've been.

But... I didn't leave home on purpose, certainly, I hope Father Christmas doesn't think that naughty.

[learningtolove]

I think you'll be just fine. People who have magic to them usually have a way of telling the good children from the nice ones.

[After all, there was a very good reason the Enchantress had decided to punish Beast. He could have been a tyrannical despot as an adult the way he'd been going.]

[madcuriosity]

Thank you very much, Mr. Beast.

[learningtolove]

You can just call me Beast. No Mister needed.

[madcuriosity]

Yes, Mr. Beast. [Sorry, Beast, hard habit to break.]

[learningtolove]

[He doesn't quite manage to hide the laughter. Alice is such an adorable child that he can't help his reaction.]

[madcuriosity]

[She's not sure what she said that was funny, but at least he doesn't seem to be mad.]
