And while we're on the subject of holiday cheer . . .

I'm afraid I will likely not be joining you all at the dance, as duty must ever take precedence over fun--but have a good time! And if anyone should have such a thing as a video camera about their person during the event, I would very much appreciate a recording.

On to my good news, which will perhaps give you all something to celebrate.

Firstly, Manuel de la Rocha, our slumbering Spaniard, is at last awake, if by no means fully recovered; my thanks to Marie-Ange, Rahne, and Douglas for their yeoman service.

Secondly, and likely of more import to many of you: Lorna awoke for a few minutes this evening. She was delirious, and slipped quickly back into unconsciousness, but it was a most felicitous first step, and her chances of a full recovery are now immeasurably higher.

I'm very happy to hear your patients are recovering so well, Doctor. Don't deprive yourself completely of the season, though, huh?

Speaking of which.. I have a present I'd like to deliver to Lorna sometime. Once she's in a position to, could you ask her if I can come down to drop it off, please? There's no rush.

I believe there are a number of other presents waiting in the wings for Lorna's convenience, and I will gladly add your name to the list.

And, I wouldn't dream of avoiding Christmas entirely, Shinobi. :)

Speaking of which . . . Alison? Are we still on for elves? I believe I've worked out some highly satisfactory pointed ears, if the three of you have agreed on a costume design.

Oooooh. Earses!

Ahem. That would be a definite yes. ;) Lemme go corner Paige...

Wonderful. Do you think you can bring her over the final hurdle by tomorrow? I'm not entirely certain my ingenuity is up to explaining to a cutthroat band of small children just why Santa decided to arrive fashionably late. ;)

Consider it done, dahlink! ;)
