He was expecting some ancient scroll or something along that line, but this was a whole lot better. Now that he had the box in his hands, he realized it wasn’t just any ordinary woodbox. It was made purely of mahogany. He knew the scent well. And by the looks of it, the carvings were still fresh. So it was made then and there before being handed to him.
Damian perked when heard her words, telling him to open it up. He did as he was told, and when he did, he paused to blush and pout. It was one of her favorite blades from her infamous collection no one was allowed to touch. Not even Damian was allowed to approach the chamber. That, and because it was guarded with lazers. --tt-- Not a problem for him, but the last time he surpassed her secret, he got a scolding from her. Always had to ruin his fun.
He frowned down at his gift. He wanted it, but at the same time, he felt as if it wasn’t rightfully his to wield, or as she said, to keep as a treasure. He covered the blade with the wooden top, casing it then holding it out towards his mother.
“Thank you, Mother. But I cannot accept this.”
