Maybe it was odd for Helen to give gifts to the people she had surrounded herself with. Most of them, she had only known for a few months. Most of them, she'd never see again if they were ever to leave Taxon. Even with that knowledge she still prepared gifts for them. She had wrapped them and placed them under the tree that was set up in her office.
She made sure to be there for when they opened their presents. Sitting at her desk, pretending to be busy. The Sanctuary was completely settled and nothing was out of place. Breakfast had already been prepared for all of the late sleepers, the building was warm, and there were no odd reports of the security system going off.
So, she sat in her office with her cup of tea and waited for the others to walk in.
