[SO GUESS WHAT PEOPLE-WHO-LIVE-IN-ALLEN'S-HOUSE-THAT-USED-TO-BELONG-TO-GUTS

IT'S CHRISTMAS.

Which means that the pitter-patter of feet is making its way down the hall, to your room...

and landing on your bed.]

Wake UP! Jeez, 's already 6 AM you sleep too much!

[ooc; OPEN FOR EVERYONE IN THE HOUSE and yes Timothy's yelling can be heard throughout the house.

Edit: Tree thread!]

I see.

...Is that so? You hardly need my permission. [Not his fault? The way this is turning out makes him doubt it, but he's just going to sink back into the couch and direct his attention elsewhere until he's gone]

[save-the-souls.livejournal.com]

[He pauses, hesitating]

...I'll be back later, if...if you still wish to be here...

[And he'll start moving to leave now ;; ]

[excalibured.livejournal.com]

It is quite cold out.

[That could be a yes or a no, that depends on how he feels in a few hours, but. But he's pretty good at keeping at a sense of obligation and he was supposed to spend Christmas with all of them, so he'll very likely be here]

[save-the-souls.livejournal.com]

...I suppose so.

[But he still needs that air. In the mean time, the dog will whine and come over to Arthur ;; JUST WHAT IS GOING ON HERE JEEZ]

[excalibured.livejournal.com]

[He hates to be out in the cold, so that was more his way of saying, PROBABLY BE HERE.

After a moment, he'll sigh and move forward to scratch the dog idly behind the ears. Poor dear]

[save-the-souls.livejournal.com]

[JUST SAY YES OR NO SOMETIME, IT'LL BE AMAZING. But the dog appreciates the ear scratching and will rest his head on his knee, he don't even know what's going on here. ]

[Meanwhile it will take about an hour or so for Allen to get back from getting air]

[excalibured.livejournal.com]

[Aw, at that Arthur will smile a little, but he's definitely still upset by the turn of events, and but will continue to pet the dog and occasionally give him a light scratching. He's sure this is totally stressful for it, but this is the best he can do ;;

And it's pretty much where he still is by that air time is finished]

[save-the-souls.livejournal.com]

[Yeah that poor dog doesn't even know wtf is going on, so he appreciates the comfort]

[Eventually Allen will step through into the living room, hesitating at the door since he knows...he really screwed up. Like really screwed up]

[excalibured.livejournal.com]

[I know man, just gets stuck in a random new place and then two dudes just start fighting. Also brightly coloured paper. It's a horrible day for it ;;

He's just going to devote his attention to the dog, for a few more minutes, even though he's fully aware of Allen having returned. He's not sure what, if anything he should say, and he sort of thinks Allen owes owes it to him to try first]

[save-the-souls.livejournal.com]

[....dogs are colorblind.]

I'm...

I'm sorry, Arthur. You deserve a better Christmas...than this.

[excalibured.livejournal.com]

[I'm aware gighui, and yet my dogs are fascinated by the stuff]

It isn't even my holiday, so that part of it matters not.

[save-the-souls.livejournal.com]

It's still supposed to be a nice day for people. And you came all this way out here and...[I suck okay ;; ]

[excalibured.livejournal.com]

...Were an idiot, as usual. That you did so on this particular day, isn't what has upset me, Allen.

[save-the-souls.livejournal.com]

Is it that I did it at all?

[excalibured.livejournal.com]

Naturally.

That was...Startling behaviour, to say it kindly.

[save-the-souls.livejournal.com]

I know..I was...incorrect to act in such a way.

[excalibured.livejournal.com]

And let me guess, you did not mean any of it?

[save-the-souls.livejournal.com]

[he gives him a look of frustration - he can tell you're being sarcastic there B| ]

I did not.

[excalibured.livejournal.com]

[He can't help it ;; It was bothered him, and he pinches the bridge of his nose lightly]

Then why...

And your actions? You did not mean those, either?

[save-the-souls.livejournal.com]

I just...I wasn't really thinking about them. I...I told you before, Christmas is not a very good day for me.

[excalibured.livejournal.com]

Yes, and I find that a very poor excuse.

[But he's not beyond forgiving you, so] ...You never answered my question.

[save-the-souls.livejournal.com]

I never said it wasn't..

...What question?

[excalibured.livejournal.com]

...

Whether or not you meant your other actions.

[save-the-souls.livejournal.com]

...Besides telling you to stop laughing at the name, no.

[excalibured.livejournal.com]

Not quite...What I meant.

[Since he said actions, there's a long pause here, and then...hesitantly] Have you lost...Interest? That is, in me?
