[Thanksgiving has come and gone and Amelia has let it pass by unceremoniously. She isn't the type to raise a fuss about the holidays even if she did decorate her classroom and her house according to the season and would participate in celebrations she was invited to. In Hotel Caelum, time just passes by but many things have happened in the several weeks she's been here so holiday spirit has been the last thing on her mind.

For one thing, she's kind of certain she's made new friends. Several! It's a record for the Emerald Witch.

One of them she's invited to explore a random floor of the hotel with her one weekend. As the elevator music plays, Amelia occupies the two minutes or so they have by reading a recommendation given to her during book club.

Neverwinter Nights— Duskfall.

Yup. And she's just reading it with a straight face with only the sound of the paper flipping cutting through the elevator music every other minute or so.]

[It's a few days before Christmas by the hotel's calendars, as far as Gale can tell, and while the holiday itself is new for him, the spirit of it is not. Other recent developments mean that the already affable wizard has been even more cheerful than usual, and though he's continued to go about much of the daily routine he's developed for himself in this place— most of which has to do with extensive interplanar and multi-universal research— he has also been glad for every opportunity he's had to include Amelia whenever he can.

Today, she'll receive the following message:]

Dearest Amelia,

I humbly request the pleasure of your company this evening for a dinner. If this is amenable to you, please allow me to escort you from your room at seven o'clock sharp.
I would advise you to dress warmly.

Yours,
Gale

[ On Christmas Day, an impeccably wrapped present is delivered to Amelia’s suite with a note: ]

Dear Amelia,

In the spirit of celebrating these winter holidays at the hotel, I hope you enjoy this present. I am very appreciative of all of the literature and poetry you’ve shared with me from your world. I hope to reciprocate with some recommendations of my own sometime, but for now, let this gift suffice.

Best wishes,
SH.

P.S. I will be checking out for a few days to tend to matters at home. If you’ve need of me, please feel free to leave any messages with the front desk.

[ Inside is a mug for more of Amelia’s working sessions. ]

[Gale hardly needs an excuse to drop in on Amelia, but he's eager to take her up on her offer to continue their conversation in person when she extends it nonetheless. After bidding Tara farewell for the time being, he leaves his room behind and makes his way to hers, rapping sharply against her door once he arrives.

Knock knock, it's your self-proclaimed knight in magic armor!]

[Dinner is hardly an unusual event for the two of them at this point, but given the nature of the date, Gale thought it imperative that they make an occasion of it— which, admittedly, is something he is guilty of doing even without a holiday to give him a good excuse.

Rather than escort Amelia somewhere himself this evening, he has asked her to meet him as a specific location: one of the hotel's many restaurants, though it is one they haven't had the opportunity to visit just yet. He had done some investigating beforehand to ensure that their menu and other offerings would suit his needs, and once convinced, had asked her to meet him there at seven o'clock with the specification that restaurant was "something called 'black tie.'"

Naturally, being the over-eager sort, he himself had arrived far too early, and so whenever she does arrive, the hostess will show her to a table where Gale is waiting in a modern suit and looking oddly nervous despite apparently already being halfway through a rather large glass of wine.]
