"I don't know..you seem angry about something," Alucard shook it off and smiled, "Are we almost there yet?"

"Yes, Alucard, please, calm down for just a second. It's only hot chocolate..." She glanced up on her tippy-toes, wondering why the hulk in front of her hadn't moved yet. She realized that they were still next in line, but that the person in front of them was continuing to guzzle down about twenty cups of hot chocolate in one setting. "Don't you think you can save some for the rest of us...?" she grumbled under her breath.

"Oh no! Is he going to drink it all?" Alucard noticed the same thing Loralei did, and despaired.

Loralei grimaced. "Not if I can help it..." She tapped the big person on the shoulder, her wings fluttering gracefully behind her and when he turned, she raised an eyebrow. "Were you planning on saving some for the rest of us...?" She crossed her arms, cocking her head to the side. "Or were you just planning on being the pig that you are and scarfing it all down in one go?" ((OMG, Big Alucard is rubbing off on her, XDD))

Emileigh slowly but surely dragged the ladder up the steps from the basement, and she looked about for Kit and Enid. "Hello? I have the ladder! You guys better not have started decorating without me..." she grumbled under her breath. She always seemed to be late for things.

From somewhere above Emileigh's head, there came a loud hissing "Shhh!"
Kit peered out from a second-floor window, garland getting squished in his hand as he clutched the windowsill for balance. He hissed a whisper at Emileigh.
"The old bat's somewhere inside with a customer--don't get her attention!"

"Kit!" she hissed at him. "What do you think you're doing up there, trying to kill yourself?!" She sighed. I swear, boys are so stupid... "What do you think you're doing?" She began to search for stairs so that she might reach Kit, possibly to smack him over the head. "I swear you're such a moron..." Emileigh grumbled.

Alucard gave big puppy dog eyes, "We want some too.."

Loralei gave the great pig of a man, a look, cocking her eyebrow as if in challenge to his piggish ways. The man grunted at her, frowning. "Wait your turn, bird-brain." He turned back to the stand, much to the dismay of the workers. Loralei sighed, frustrated.
"Why is it that men always have to be so... self-indulgent...?" She cracked her knuckles, then hauled at the obese man's shoulder. Loralei threw him to the side. "Get in the back of the line, pig." She snarled, then looked down at Alucard. "Come on, to the front of the line. Tell the nice vendor what you'd like..."

"Wah! What's a vendor?" Alucard was puzzled.

Loralei smiled. "That would be the nice man standing behind the counter, ready to take your order." She gave Alucard a slight push to the counter. "Come along then."
She headed up to the vendor, and smiled. "Hello there. We'd like some hot chocolate and some sugar cookies if you don't mind..." The vendor nodded, somewhat distracted over the events that had taken place. He handed her two cups of the steaming goodness piled high with chocolate jimmies and whipped cream, and a plate full of the cookies. Loralei smiled her thanks, then walked towards the tree-topping ceremony.
"Hurry up, we're going to miss the tree-topping!" She said, handing Alucard the plate of cookies and his mug of hot cocoa.

Zasha was looking upwards, watching the man on the ladder as he made his way to the top of the tree to place the angel in its rightful spot. A persistent tugging at her cloak led her to turn her gaze to the squat mole-man who was pulling at the cloth. His face and clothing were caked with dirt--a fairly common occurrence among the burrowers who were at work on the tunnels beneath Artemis--but the panicked look on his face was not a good sign.
"What is it, Merrick? Not more troubles with the tunnels I hope?"
The mole-man took of his cap and began wringing it in his hands.
"No, Mssh Zasha, but...You'd better come."
Zasha sighed, then gave a big smile to the crowd in case any who weren't distracted by the tree-topping thought her leaving the stage odd, then motioned for Merrick to lead the way and followed him into the crowd.
"I brought a carriage, Mssh Zasha, we'd better hurry."
And so, Zasha headed back to Artemis, a knot of worry building in her gut.

Alucard happily took the cookies and the hot chocolate and followed Loralei, "Tree topping..ceremony? I still don't know what that is."
He wanted to munch on a cookie but his hands were full. He hurried along so they could get there faster, and eat the cookies.

Loralei sighed gratefully as soon as the two reached the large, festive tree, watching a citizen climb nimbly up the ladder to put the angel at the top. "The tree topping ceremony is really significant to us. It's representative of the new life we've made here in Hestian..." She smiled. "But don't worry about that yet." Her eyes caught a flurry of movement from where Zasha was standing and she caught a glimpse of Merrick, a tunnel burrower from Artemis. He looked slightly panicked, and Loralei frowned. "Looks like we have a bit of trouble in Winter Wonderland..." She sighed.

"Trouble..?" Alucard sat down so he could place the plate down and use the hand to grab a cookie. He munched on it, then he lifted the mug up and sipped a little, "Yee! It is hot! How do people drink this stuff?"
Still, he thought it tasted pretty good and licked his lips before taking another sip.

Loralei looked up at the stand where Zasha continued to speak to Merrick, her face contorting in a look of confusion. She gasped when she saw Zasha take flight and head in the direction of Artemis. "Come on Alucard, we're going home." Loralei grabbed the boy's hand, fllipping out her wings. "There's something wrong, and I have to help Zasha fix it..."
