Every member of the Brotherhood would find the safehouses decorated as Christmas lights draped the walls--there would be ribbons, inflatable reindeer, snowmen, and snowglobed riddled about. However, on Christmas Day the bureau would serve as the centerpiece to this all.
A tree. A large fir tree, ornaments hung off and tinsel encircling every branch would stand in the center of the bureau. And underneath the fir tree, there would vibrantly wrapped, pristine presents stowed away for every member.
For Desmond, there would be an assortment of sweaters, a hoodie, stainless steel equipment fit for bartending, various boardgames, a laptop, an iPhone, and a puppy accompanied with the necessities required to tend to it.
For Aveline, there would be an assortment of designer dresses, a collection of alligator plushies, a set of decorative daggers, a rope dart and a brand new pair of boots.
For Malik, there would various pens--all with a gold finish and black ink that flowed with utmost fluidity. There would also be a jetspa foot massager, an assortment of lightup sweaters as well as a collection of Eagle feathers.
For Claudia, there would be a deluxe makeup set and an assortment of dresses as well--however, there would also be hard cash, at least 10k worth of it...she would receive a pen akin to that of Malik's.
For Altair, there would a collection of decorative swords, a massage chair, various pairs of boots and lightup sweaters to coordinate with Malik.
For Laei, there would be ballet shoes, a ballet bar, various French themed souvenirs such as a miniature scale of the Eiffel tower and--...robes. Robes tailored to her measurements, crafted to her individual sense of style and demeanor.
For Ezio?
He knows well what he received.
Breakfast would be served--and a reservation for one of the Hive's most expensive restaurants would be set atop their presents. And so, a note hanging from the tree would merely read
"Merry Christmas."
