There was something fundamentally strange about the idea of buying God a Christmas present. Mikami had agonised for weeks about whether or not it would be appropriate. Eventually he'd decided that it was only right to present Kira with an offering, a sign of his devotion.
He'd been relieved for about ten minutes, until he remembered that he still didn't know what to give him.
Eventually, he chose a
quill and a small bottle of black ink, enchanted never to blot or smear. The note attached to the parcel simply read From your servant.
He also bought a very polished
wooden desk tidy for Professor Vorkosigan, who clearly needed all the help he could get.
