[Francis hands Feliciano this small package, and a card separately. On the envelope, Francis very evidently put much effort into writing out the other’s name, and stylized it the best out of anybody’s. His writing inside is just as fancy, and reads:]
Feliciano my dear brother,
I had a lot of trouble with your gift this year, though I hope that you enjoy it and that it fits you. xx
I could say so much in this card, but I already talk to you and tell you everything. Just remember that you are so important to me, and that your big brother will always be here for anything you may possibly need.
I love you, and always will. xoxo
Ton frère, Francis.
[Inside of the package is a silk tie wrapped around a rolled up piece of paper with a small box inside of it. Inside of the box is a gold ring with the inscription, ‘pas mon sang, mais ma vie’ on the inside.
The piece of paper is a coloured pencil sketch of Venice from the last time that Francis had been there. It shows an ominous moon looking over a water canal, with many parked boats and low lights seen on the side. On the back of the paper, there is writing:]
Night time in Venice is surreal. I love the way that the moon beams hit the ripples in the water, and how calm and serene everything is. For me, it is just like you- always there, and always able to make me happy.
