[ video ] loosely locked to abel nightroad
[ cesare isn't really sure what to do about this christmas thing, especially since he received a present yesterday from abel. the holiday has never been a big deal for him--even when he'd been a child and he'd had vannozza with him--so he hadn't thought to get anything for anyone, or really even change his routine for the day. he hadn't been asked to do anything for the church (which is good, since it would've been hypocritical of him), so he'd spent the day doing some studying.
he's grateful for the coat, though, which is apparent since he's wearing it when the video flickers on. he still looks pale and too thin, but he's otherwise as composed as ever. he lifts an arm to indicate the coat, offering a faint smile. ]
Thank you, my dear, but you really-- you didn't have to do this for me. You already do too much for me.
[ a pause and he makes a gesture to the pot and seedling he'd received. ]
I don't suppose you want this..? I'd have no idea whatsoever what to do with a plant.
