He owled back, first, so she'd know he was on his way:
Susan,
Sure, I'll be over in two shakes of a lamb's tail. Actually I've got presents for you as well. I expect to be told all about Hogswatch, too.
Charles
That done, he took the time to shave and put on a fresh shirt before heading over to Susan's room. Christmas day had been an utter disaster, so Charles had spent the following day in something of a mess, and only today was coming back to himself. He could definitely use a distraction. A distraction that had nothing to do with Hampden or anyone who'd ever been within a hundred miles thereof, preferably. Susan's owl was rather welcome.
And he really did have presents for her. They were tucked under his arm, in boxes neatly wrapped with white paper, when he knocked at her door.
