an owl arrives veo's bedroom bearing a gift box. it contained an empty journal, hand-sewn and labled "Veo's Deep Sea Adventures" in stout cursive. attached is a letter from jongdae that read, "thank you for that AMAZING gift. truly. so touched. In return, here's my gift. Please feel free to fill in these pages with the adventures we had from last time. or more. please. keep doing what you love. from, kjd"
⟶ ☀ his expression mostly holds surprise at the sudden gift, even more so at its supposed signatory. with measured grace, he carefully opens the cardboard gift box, wand ready at his side if ever its contents are hexed--one can never be sure with wizards. surprisingly, though, the hand-sewn journal he pulls from the compartment looks harmless enough, and he smiles at the uncharacteristically finessed handiwork. “hm. i’m impressed,” veovis quips, brows raised and bottom lip jutted out to signify his satisfaction. his lips curl into an amused smile at his note, a sense of fondness tugging at his heart at the unlikely concern. keep doing what you love. “i hope so. i sure hope i can.”
