[Dictated]

 [If anyone should happen to be in the lobby tonight, they might be in time to see a cloud of soot suddenly coming out of it. If that person also happens to still believe in a certain jolly gift-giver, it would be hard to miss the gigantic white-bearded man in red who had also come into the room through the chimney.  He climbs to his feet and dusts himself off while grumbling in a heavy Russian accent.]

I tell elves to clean chimney.  And do they do it?  No!  Dingle is going back on cookie duty, I am thinking.

And what is this?  [He waves the open journal around irritably, not knowing it was carrying his every word to those who could hear and writing down every word he spoke.]  Who leaves books just lying around?]

[He turns and takes in his new surroundings.]

...Wrong chimney?

Bah, there is no time for this!  It is only nine months left!


[ooc: Just to clarify, North can only be seen if you believe in him.  If a non-believer is in the lobby all they would see is an unexplainable puff of soot. His comments can be read on the journals if your character doesn't believe.]

That is stupid.

[He looks at her sadly for a long moment. Wonder was the right of every child. It was sad and painful that this one seemed to have none of it in her heart. Then he suddenly laughs in a deep booming voice.]

Is no matter! Will fix this!

[wolfchild]

[ Confusion leaps onto her face. ]

Fix what? [ Your slipping sanity...? ]

[rightjollyoldelf]

To bring wonder back to child.

[wolfchild]

[ Arya looks over her shoulder. ]

To who? If you've just come, you ought to know whoever it is probably isn't here.

[rightjollyoldelf]

All children. [Including you.]

[wolfchild]

I'm not a child, idiot.

[rightjollyoldelf]

What are you then, would you say?

[wolfchild]

I'm nearly woman-grown.
