Sorry I haven`t left you any gifts this week. I was out of the country. I will definitely make it up to you in the morrow. -Secret Santa

I thought you had lost the spark to keep you going, I’m glad to know you’ll continue to amuse me. I hope your trip was fun or at least not stressful. I’ll look forward to whatever you have for me, please rest well.

A knock comes at your door. When you open it, you find a little kid smiling up at you. He hands you a medium sized dark oak box, with your named carved onto it. He hands you an envelope saying "The man gave me candy in exchange for me delivering this to you." He then turns and exits quickly. The note reads: "This next gift didn't take me quite so long as the others, since I had it expressed shipped in one night. I do hope you like it, though I'm sure you will. It's just as fancy as you. Inside the box you will find a superbly decorated pair of J. Lamotte Flintlock Pistols. They are silver mounted, relief chiseled, and gold inlaid."

Did you not get my gift for the day? I sent it early this afternoon... - Secret Santa

[I'm sorry, it was received. I'm getting to all the replies and it's in the drafts. I'll reply now.]

I'm pleased to see that you like my gift. Ah, you are a challenge indeed. I would have enjoyed the task of getting your gift a little more if I had not run into some problems acquiring it.

It was an exceptional gift, I wouldn't have thought that anyone would manage to pick a perfect gift but you did. It is the trouble you had to deal with that makes the experience special, it will carve itself into your memory.

A knock come at the door. There is a long white box placed at the foot of it. On top there is a black envelope with Secret Santa written in English font with silver ink. Inside is a simple note reading as follows. "Dear Min Woo, sorry I missed these last two days. I was busy trying to find the perfect first gift and well--let's just say it involved venturing into some very shady parts of the country to attain it. It's a Siamese Ritual Sword, and is 33 inches long. I do hope you like it."

Hearing the knock on his door, Minwoo puts down the tools he was using to clean his pistol and goes to open the door only to frown when he finds no trace of anyone. His eyes notice the white box just before he closes the door and he arches a brow in amusement when he reads the two words. So you did come at the end! He bended to pick the box then closed the door and walked to the table, placing the box down and opening it. The following few moments, Minwoo experienced a mixture of feelings as he read the note. He was happy, amused, grateful and there was surprisingly a hint of sadness that he couldn't explain. He held the sword and examined it, his lips forming a soft smile the whole time. He wanted to challenge his Santa and whoever sent him the sword proved to be worth the challenge. Minwoo left a note on his door addressed to his santa, hoping he or she would read it. "Dear Santa, I didn't think you would ever show up. I thought you couldn't handle my wishlist, I'm amused that you did. Thank you for the sword, it's perfect. I hope you enjoyed the hassle you went through to obtain it."
