A box wrapped meticulously in deep green paper arrives via post, topped by a simple white bow and a label with nothing more than 'The Kenors' written on it. Inside there's a healthy pouch of homemade chocolates, a wooden spoon, a note, and an envelope. The note reads, in rather ornamented handwriting; 'Happy Starlight! From both of us to both of you, we hope that this time brings you warmth and togetherness. If the spoon isn't of much use, it was good practice - I carved it thinking of your(1/2)
lovely cafe and what may be useful there. I believe the other gift’s purposes should be obvious enough! With love, Aromirr & Shiun.’ When opened, the enveloped appears stuffed with pictures of a very sleepy baby miqo'te with horns, dressed in her starlight best.(2/2)
Despite how it pained her so, the woman had slowly moved outside to sit on the deck that had been built in her absence. She welcomed such a thing, as it was near enough to the door that even on her worst days, she could still move to sit in the sun.
It was during this move to sit out in the sunlight, and small amount of snow, that she noticed this gift that sat upon their porch. She giggled softly at the name on the tag.
“The Kenors, hmm? I suppose we will be such a thing soon, won’t we?” came her soft murmur as she her face brightened into a smile. “I’m excited for that… To have her as my wife… What a dream…”
Sitting upon the nearby chair, she began to carefully unwrap the paper, just as she had with the gift from Zel as she examined each gift as they came into view, although she left the envelope for last. Popping a chocolate into her mouth, she glanced over the spoon and had a feeling she knew who the gift would be from. It had such fine workmanship and she was sure that Vel would be proud to use it within the cafe. Nimble fingers which had begun to shake occasionally since their return home picked up the note, smiling at the warmth and love she felt through her friend’s words.
Her interest soon moved onto the last gift — an envelope, and with curiosity nagging at her, she very quickly opened it before letting out an excited squeal as the sleepy baby miqo’te came into view.
“Oh! What a sweetheart, look at how precious you are… I can’t wait to meet you… I’ll have to get her plenty of gifts before we make a visit to them… We need to pick up the pets soon also…” Her finger tapped against her chin in thought. “I wonder if we can do it all in the same trip..?” Her eyes misted over slightly as she gazed to the closed door. “That’s if she’s okay soon…”
Aaa, thank you for this sweet gift!!! Jade’s so excited to meet baby Rose and she can’t wait to see you and Shiun again soon! There’s some hints in this as to things that have been going on, bc I enjoy angst with my fluff!!
