@abrupturn : Marble has bought Alice a soft fur coat , tailored to her measurements . It looks almost like the one he'd shoved on her before . There are a set of different dresses beneath it - all of which Marble had picked himself . Her present is wrapped in black wrapping paper with white ribbon to tie it all together .

The owl looked up from the package at Marble, as if confirming the gift is really for her. Her golden eyes brightened after an answer, and she immediately cut the ribbon. She gingerly unwrapped the package before opening the box. She was sure she could the wrapping paper for another gift. Possibly, tailored to Marble.
Within the package was the fur coat. It was white, soft, and of high quality material. It was in a style the owl liked to wear when she felt okay in feminine clothes. Alice snuggled into it, like the boys would into the feathers of her wings. She could fall asleep in it if she could but it was best if it was still in a pristine state for a date or night out with the boys. If she was younger, she would have had a heart attack at the price, but she knew better. This was one of the only ways Marble could be clear about his affections for Noir and her.
She tried it on before looking over the dresses Marble picked out for her.
“It fits, and is very cozy,” she said. “Soft too, like how you like my feathers.” She took the dresses out one by one. Knowing Marble, they were also customized to fit her form and just as expensive. There were plenty of accessories she could wear with them. As long as the boys were with her, she would be safe from her sister’s allies. “The dresses are lovely, and there’s plenty to choose the accessories to go with them. Thank you.”
She looked around her room for camera angles. Seeing as it would be hard for them to be watched, she stepped on tip-toes to kiss Marble’s cheek.
“I take it, it’ll be a clear evening tonight so we could go out?” she asked. “If so, we should wake up Noir.”
