He still had yet to prefect the landing when he came through mirrors but the landings were getting easier. But he was shocked that no one in the house had awoken up and came to investigate the noise that came about from him crashing into the door. He stood up a bit dizzy at first but it subsided soon enough. He looked around the small room that wasn't filled with anything other than the mirror, closet drawers, a desk, and a single bed, and now the floor sprinkled with snow.

The bump on his head wasn't going to let him sleep anytime soon, and even if he was going to sleep he probably would have stayed at home, but he hadn't been tired when he fed the reindeer. That is until he touched the mirror and had one foot in it. So the best thing to do in a time like this…find something to eat. Careful to skip the steps which creaked he made his way to the kitchen only to find that he wasn't the only one with the idea.

She was sitting at one of the older chairs that surrounded the square table that was in the kitchen waiting for something with a glass of water in her hand. He took a step into the room and the floor made a sound that made her jump a little bit. She looked towards the door for a moment taking it in that there was another person in the room before going back to staring at the wall. He wanted to say something, but it was probably not the best thing to do since he wasn't sure if she had heard the loud crash from upstairs, if she was or wasn't a morning person which if she wasn't it wouldn't be good for him to disturb her(which he had learned the hard way one fateful morning when he ran into his mom feeding the reindeer).

Plus he wasn't sure if he was in complete control of his emotions and reactions around her just yet. He found a box of cookies and stole two of them before heading back to the door. before he finally left her alone in the room. "Good morning" he offered with a small smile, hoping he wasn't going to get a death glare. She turned her head once more to the door and yawned.

"Morning"

he learned one thing about the blond woman he had seen at the zoo with Buddy that morning. She wasn't a morning person, she was civil morning person. Indifferent to the time of day, she was just nice to everyone.
