All the lessons and mistakes paid off, in the end. They are not the greatest, nor they are anything as good and pretty as Morgiana’s own baking, but there’s a small set of heart-shaped chocolate with a bit of a mess frosting on top of them, and it’s something that a sword like Kanesada would certainly have trouble with for quite some time. Regardless, they are perfectly edible ( not the most delicious ones, but edible nonetheless ), and he could only hope they suited Morgiana’s tastes. Attached to the set, there was a small letter:
And finally after all those lessons, I managed to make something for you myself! They aren’t nearly as good as yours, but I hope they’re good enough? I put a lot of effort in these, so I hope you like them.
Valentine’s isn’t something we swords celebrate, but I take it it’s something that makes you happy, so I wanted to make you something. It’s a… thank you gift. It has been a whole year since we met, and you’ve brought nothing but happiness into my life. I definitely couldn’t imagine my stay here without you. So… thank you. For being such an important part of my life.
I hope your life here has been just as enjoyable.
While she doesn't speak with Kanesada as often as she should due to being overwhelmingly busy lately, it's a nice surprise to see that he'd prepared a gift for her for the holiday that he didn't even celebrate. To think that he had gone through this much trouble just to be able to make her chocolate.
And surprisingly, though to most they wouldn't have been the most delicious in the world, she rather enjoyed them. For it was not how they tasted that mattered to her, it was the thought and effort that went into making them. Besides, anything that was made for her especially was treated with great care, the chocolates are no exception. Reading the note only solidifies this. And for a moment, she does reminisce on her past here. While it wasn't always the best, she has met people that she'll never forget in her life here. Including the man whom she is able to love along with friends that she could never be without.
It's a nice feeling. ❝ I have to tell him something later...I suppose. ❞
