“I don’t know… I’m sure he’s not hurt. We should look for him. Have you started looking yet? He’s gotta be around here somewhere”

       “ I guess it’s pretty weird, right ?? No, that’s a video. It can get sort of tricky… Did you want to take a picture ?? ”

❝ --- Are you sure you don’t want some extras pillows? There are far too many for me and frankly, I only need one ... Maybe two , but that’s debatable . ❞

❝ In the morning, right when I woke up . I left my room for breakfast and-- and he was gone, just gone! I-- ... Do you think he might be hurt? ❞

“Distraught? What is wrong? I – Well I may have seem a little dog wandering around earlier. I can take you to where I last saw him. Does this dog have a name?”

“Really?” Theo looked down at himself, smiling at the color. He hadn’t expected her to put so much thought into a present for him. He just had to remind himself that he knew she cared. “You’re welcome. I didn’t know you got my sisters anything. I haven’t had the chance to check in with them either.” He smiled, taking her hand. “That’s good. I like Christmas a lot more this year. But I think that’s mostly because I have you.”

“ Really, and I guess I was right. Te ves guapo. ” With a kind smile the Empress let him take her hand in his own, fingers locking with Theo’s as she began to speak once again. “ I did --- I bought a dress for Adeline I think, and a pair of pants for Maggie. She seemed to like the ones I let her borrow, and I thought it would be nice to encourage her into wearing what makes her comfortable. Well then, I’m glad because from now on, all of your Christmas will be good. I don’t think I’ll be going anywhere anytime soon, unless you ever want me to. ”

“I love it. I think it looks pretty good, if I’m being honest. Which I am.” He looked at the bracelet around her wrist and smiled, taking her hand so he could get a better look. “It’s perfect on you. Much better than it was in the box. I’m glad you’re wearing it.”

“ I’m glad you do, though I’d be lying if I said I didn’t think the color would suit you well right from the moment I saw it. ” In fact, Reina was proud of herself for finding a present so fitting. Smiling as he took her hand, Rey nodded her head . “ Gracias, cariño. It matches my necklace in a way; I love it. Do you know if your sisters liked their presents? I still haven’t had the chance to ask them myself. I think I like Christmas more than I expected. ”

“You are in the wrong room, though you do not necessarily need to leave. Do you need something?”

“Did you need the mirror?”
