what would the parent figure react to child!mc giving them a handmade present for their birthday? (Still a bit salty with how nobles parent could abandon MC, but i guess they got a present too 🙄)
Lord Churchill: He holds the gift in his hands, his eyebrow raised. “Oh, I see, thank you my child. I was not expecting to receive anything.” He smiles down at you charmingly. “My gift is your continued success in your studies.”
Uncle Grisom: He grins widely, and their may actually be tears in his eyes. “You worked hard on something like this for this old man? I love it!”
The Nobles: Lord Jason is a little perplexed but he takes it silently from you and inspects it. “What does it do?” He asks you. Lady Evangeline takes her gift gingerly, also looking it over, her mouth pursed, before she raises her head and smiles thinly at you. “I am very pleased, my dear.”
Priestess Olivia: Her mouth quirks up. “You spent time on this for me? You are quite thoughtful, little one.” She caresses your hair fondly. “Thank you. I will cherish it.”
Kenorath: He seems surprised when you hand him it. His eyes are a little narrowed. “What is it, what do you want?” He asks. When you explain it is for his birthday, he blinks. “I’d forgotten the date…” He mutters to himself, before nodding and giving you a wane smile. “Apologies. I am not used to receiving gifts. Thank you.” He seems heartfelt.
The Miners: Lorelai grins widely and snatches it from your hand. “You shouldn’t have, kiddo!” She looks excited. Benev takes his less exuberantly and smiles at you warmly. “I’ll take good care of it.” Nova raises an eyebrow at you and then the gift. She takes it. “You shouldn’t waste time on me, but thank you.” She ruffles your hair fondly.
Renee: When you hand her the gift, she smiles weakly at you. Her face is still downcast, but her smiles curls up a little at the corner. “Thank you, darling...” She reaches up and caresses your cheek motherly.
