“I ‘ave two arms.... and no Al or Fendi t’fill em.”

Truly, a sad moment.

Lucy blinks. “Oh... That’s actually a good idea, If y’ don’t mind I might steal that idea f’r next year.” Her eyes were sparkling. Maybe she could even hand embroider it. 

“Ah, well, That aside, I think Alfendi would be... eh... okay, wit’ owt ‘s long as it ain’t summat ah...” She scratches her cheek. “Illegal...?

She takes the sweater with a big smile on her face. “Ah, I don’t care, I’m ‘ust glad ya thought o’ me!” She immediately pulls it over her head to wear.

“Ta. An’ one more thin’.” She points to the quill pen, “if ya keep that wit’ ya, I’ll keep ya safe if ya e’er get inta trouble. It’s ah, Magic o’ a sort...” The grin turns to something a little mischievous, she’s not going to elaborate on how.

There is silence...

AND THEN AN EXPLOSION!

“MERRY CHRISTMAS!!”

Decorations are everywhere, presents wrapped and ready for opening.

Lucy is practically buzzing with excitement.

But even with how much the holiday energy is radiating off her, she’s almost subdued this year. Naught but a small, tasteful desk tree in the Mystery Room, and a strings of fairy lights in the Yard’s halls.

“Mm!”

She is... so ready........

but she must hold it in... People have chided her before for decorating before the American’s Thanksgiving...

(But she still has little desk trees stored safely away, surprise Mistletoe in her pockets...)

But she must wait.........

She is small and full of love! “’S Probably best ya came back when ya did... Any sooner an’ ya mighta been Victim ta Christmas in July.” Up on her tip toes to give him two little kisses.

“That’s good. An’ if ya e’er need a break again, I’ll be glad t’give ya as much space as a need!”

Eventually she does relent with the kisses, just opting to keep her arms wrapped around him. “Yer fine. I understand needin’ ta get away for a while.” Then she finally lets go and beams up at him. “Did ya ‘ave a good time?”

Lucy is. positively vibrating

(It’s too early)

But she’s vibrating with energy!!!

(Just five more days)

Lucy turns a page in the book she’s reading.

Lucy’s eyes lock on the cookies in Al’s hand.

So you have chosen death.

She reaches up and twisted one hand into his collar and then shoved the other against his waist, aiming to drag him down to her level as she gets up on her tip toes and bites the other part of the cookie right from his mouth.

In another situation, with another person, This might be very romantic! Buuuut right now Lucy was more focused on getting her cookie back from the thief than anything.
