Ralsei was, fortunately for the awkwardness that would otherwise result, carrying his own gift for Alastor along with him. It at least didn't seem an effort to bring along -- the lengthy gift wrapped within festive paper (he'd found some adorable paper styled after snowcats, snowdogs, and snowraccoons).

When he spotted his friend, Ralsei beamed. He trotted over at speed, nearly fell, and made his way the rest of the way with greater caution, though no less enthusiasm.

"Hello, hello! I hope that the yule is treating you well, Alastor!"
