[There’s a letter and a small package at Iillit’s mailbox]
Iiliit,
Bear with me here, because you know I kinda suck at writing letters. First of all, sorry I can’t really return the visit at the moment. Work’s been tight around here and I can’t really take any days off right now. It sucks to hear that you’re sick, though… Hey, you better get better! I’m not taking no for an answer on this one. Kinda like how I’m not taking no for an answer when I tell you you’re a great daughter, despite your whole rebellious phase wanting to be fully independent thing, but I’m not gonna go there… okay maybe I kinda did. Whoops.
Point is, I love you too, and independent or not, I’ll always be there for you.
And thanks for the statue! Holy shit, I can’t believe you carved it! It’s sitting on my living room shelf right now.
I sent you some cookies—I know you probably had a fuckton of them under my rule but, shit, nothing beats Danish cookies (and you can’t find these at your place because I baked them myself. Hah!)—and a selfie of me with this glorious statue.
Thanks for helping make my birthday a great one. =)
Love,
Mathias.
[enclosed in the package are a dozen Dansk cookies and a polaroid of Mathias in a party hat, grinning ear-to-ear with the mermaid statue, who he also put a party hat on]
( Sorry this was late ;u; thank you for the gift to him! )

Iiliit hadn’t checked the mail in a while due to her fever but decides to do it today. She went out and got it before returning inside-All wrapped up in a blanket she had gotten from an older woman a long time ago.
It was kind of surprising to see something from one of her Danish dads but she was pretty sure it was from him if her tired eyes didn’t deceive her.
She read the letter first-A smile marking her face the whole way through it. She couldn’t believe he’d gone through this trouble to write this to her and send it. She was sure there was just something in her eyes as she rubbed at them and sniffed a bit.
She folds the letter back up for safe keeping and then goes to look in the package. She snorted and smiled at the picture and then looked at the cookies-She would definitely eat these later. She really did secretly love his cooking. (don’t be sorry this is so cute omg)
