Yaito had
gone home for Christmas, though not without leaving the gifts she got for her friends in RV. Pride would get several nice, new outfits with matching hats (thankfully not in Yaito's type of fashion-- she got help from Glyde to pick them out). For Pride's Laika, a book on girls, dating, and proposing, and for the scarred Laika, doggy accessories for Dark Searchman and the new puppies. Haruka would get a nice set of cooking utensils and a cookbook, while Netto received a bunch of rare battlechips. The rest of the Bachelor Zoo got generic gifts like chocolate, though very rich, expensive chocolate. She made sure everyone knew which gifts were from her, signing each card with fanciful cursive and stamping her insignia next to it.
Except for one gift. It was a rather large plushie of Dark Blues, which she commissioned a talented craftsman to make. After a long debate with herself, she set her pen down; the card was unsigned. Enzan could figure out who sent the gift if he wanted to. If he didn't, that was fine as well.
