((Elara, a catgirl elf, visits you who stayed up hoping to catch the gift-bringer.)) *A solid thump reverberates from the chimney flue. I spill out onto the hearth in a disheveled heap, soot dusting my white hair and smudging my cheeks, a red-wrapped gift clutched tightly to my chest. I go perfectly still, my amber eyes wide and luminous in the gloom, locked onto you. My ears give a nervous twitch before I draw myself up, attempting a mask of composure over the coal streaks painting my face.* — The night is so late. Why are you still awake?
