Belated gifts

[unionjackflash]

Apologies to all for 'missing' Christmas, I can assure you I didn't do it intentionally, of course I wouldn't, but apparently the Japanese Post Office seem to become uncharacteriscally LAX during the festive season- the items I asked to be brought over here from home have only just gotten here TODAY.

Anyone getting a gift from me will get it

WHERE HAVE YOU BEEN I WAS SO LONELY!

Just kidding, Actually I spent Christmas with Ivan and actually I have found a few more french speakers in the school. It was interesting.

[unionjackflash]

You spent Christmas with RUSSIA?

You poor soul... I ACTUALLY feel sorry for you.

But yes, I went out- you'd be surprised how many shops are open here on Christmas day I had quite a nice time window shopping and having the day to myself... It's been the first time in a long time really.

I... was a little lonely I'll admit but still...

More french speakers? WONDERFUL- at least I'll know when you're insulting me when I walk into a room, you'll all just start speaking French.

[france_kiss]

Well yeah, he is my room mate....not like I can avoid him....not to mention actually...he was really nice...And even gave me roses...

I wonder if it's a trap...What do you think?

I was trying to avoid being alone...I...was starting to get really homesick. But after talking to people here in my own language I am feeling much better, not to mention I finally got the room to smell more like France, at least on my side and the kitchen.

Why would I insult you in French~ I much prefer insulting you in a language you know~ more fun.

[unionjackflash]

Yes, it's obviously a trap- I'll tell you that one for free because he's probably the only bigger prick out there than you- You should know that already though, we were in in enough meetings together as allied nations during WWII.

Loneliness isn't such a bad thing I mean, why, I managed to sort my books out while I was hiding away after my little love potion fiasco so, yes, loneliness isn't always a bad thing...

I know enough of French to know I was mentioned up there, that's all I need to know.

Of course, Arthur. Personally, I was a bit skeptic of the Post Office here and asked my parents to send along a box of cards back in early November. The rest...I made here.

I'm afraid I took the coward's way out with my gifts in not having anything shipped from home. I do hope you liked mine, though.

Cheer up, hmm? Your 'late' Christmas may be precisely what you need. It will be a chance to spend time with those you care about without the bother of the actual festive holiday itself.

I don't suppose I could steal you away for tea in the Workshop?

[unionjackflash]

That sounds like a splendid idea my dear θ, it would be nice to just have an evening together.

I'll bring your present then, I hope you like it.

[ergaleomancer]

I'd like that very much, Arthur.

If you haven't opened the one I dropped off for you yet, bring it along as well? We can have a proper gift exchange.

[Croakity croak]

What on earth is wrong with you!!?

You look like you've just crawled out of your own grave...

[freedomfriesusa]

Nothing's wrong with me. Don't I look chipper?

[He smiles at the screen lopsidedly.]

Okay so I'm tired, but I couldn't not wish you Merry Christmas Artie. I don't have enough friends to not treat the ones I have well... Ah don't mind me.

[He frowns.]

I might have, it's been a shit couple of days, weeks, months? Not that that ever gets me down! I'm ALFRED.

[unionjackflash]

I don't care if you're chipper, you look exhausted- you get yourself to bed before I come over there and drag you.

... Get some sleep and then we'll go look at Christmas trees, okay? I can't take you if you look like you're about to pass out Alfred
