It's Christmas Day! Noel found a well-wrapped parcel by his door. There was a note to it! "This year you are on Santa Claws' Nice List!" Well, that definitely suggested who had sent it. Once unwrapped, Noel would find a long, deep green winter scarf with hand-stitched mango embroidery on the corner. Someone made sure that extra modification was added to the present, even if that wasn't the best handy work there. It's the thought that counts, right?
He was headed out the door to deliver more presents, until finding one for him at the doorstep. ...One for him, though? That was a pleasant surprise. Picking it up and placing it on the table, he began to inspect it. It was quite well-wrapped and with a nice gold ribbon, too... in a cat-ear-shaped bow, no less. He then glanced over the note on it, which read, "This year you are on Santa Claws' Nice List!"
"'Santa Claws' Nice List', eh?" he chuckled inwardly at the thought. How thoughtful of Cat, giving him a present. After carefully opening the box, it revealed a beautifully... hand-stitched evergreen winter scarf embroidered with his favorite fruit, with colors contrasting well to his normal bevy of red and white.
Was it perfectly done? No - but it didn't need to be. It was from a friend - that's the part that mattered. He did do a little mending where there were a few little loose strands, but only so nothing would catch on the scarf.
'Well done, Cat. I'll be sure to give you a present of my own a little later.' For now, however... was Dantarg's and... *sigh* Kzinssie's.
