GIFT EXCHANGE!

[victormakesart]

If you're here, you might have had an invitation from Victor's journal to your journal or a text on your phone or a note on your door; however, since the prospect of going through all of her friends and sending a message to the ones that she has presents for sounds daunting at best and frightening at worst, here Victor is

"Viiiictor!" John didn't forget you, Victor! He has your gift in hand and is looking forward to getting his own back.

"How have you been?"

[victormakesart]

Victor has a robin's egg blue package that she hands to him, beaming, and she thinks it just might be perfect. "Been pretty well. Some days less well than others, some days more well. You?"

John tears into the package (hopefully that wasn't really expensive paper) and cheers at the book. "Brilliant!" Have a huge hug that lifts you off your feet. "A User's Guide! Just what I need!" Gives her a wink.

"'Bout the same, although I could do without this snow...I've been to a snow PLANET that had less snow then this." Shakes head.

"And oh!" Thrusts out his gift - a roughly wrapped cylindrical object. "Merry Christmas and enjoy!" Thinks. "But not too much."

[victormakesart]

"Ooh, I love it! Much better than what I usually do." She usually keeps her first-aid stuff in plastic ziplocks, but this'll give her faster access and a good, solid place to put things. "Where've you been staying, recently, that it's been snowin' so much?"

'is time for surprises?'

Because Silens still thinks the whole idea of wrapping gifts up so people can't see what they are is just the greatest invention ever.

"It is!"

She has a lot for Silens, because she wants to look out for her buddy. A bag of fresh oranges and apples and peaches, pens of all different styles and colors, markers, and (her favorite) gloves made just for him. She would have made them white, but she figured that would get too dirty too soon, so she made them pale blue. It's all in a sparkly blue box.

He opens the box carefully and pulls out each item, sniffing the fruit happily and looking over the pens. Quills are about as advanced as it gets, in his world. His one eye opens wider at the gloves and he sits on the floor and pulls off his leather bracers. There's a couple of grey scars on his arms and hands. He pulls them on, wiggling his talons experimentally, and then gives her one of his bulldog smiles.

It takes him a minute to write his reply because he has to try out a different marker in each letter, so it turns out rainbow. 'is wonderful!'

[victormakesart]

She's so happy to see him happy; his smile is infectious in the good way. It gives her the warm fuzzies, makes her feel cozy in her insides, like her organs are all bundled up in scarves and hats. "They look great on you! And I'm so glad you like it."
