[zhilbar]

Zhil smiles a bit nervously, offering Naoko her present. "To another year come and gone, and a new year of joy on the horizon."

And inside the box?

[mistressnaoko]

Naoko turned from where she had been looking out the window towards Zhilbar. She blinked and reached behind her, where she drew out a small box. Within was a ring.

"Only if you'll look in mine, dearest heart," she smiled.

Inside the box was this.

[zhilbar]

Zhil blinked, with a slightly puzzled look on His face, but He took the box with a right good will and opened it

[mistressnaoko]

Naoko merely smiled when Zhilbar showed her how to open the gift; she would have had fun figuring out the mechanism herself, but it was never a bad idea to let the guys do all the work.

That was, until she saw the gift.

She almost backed away from the scale, shocked and surprised beyond all words. This was more than an intimate gift; it was a sword, and one she was not sure she could be certain she would be able to care for.

"Zhilbar... I..." she looked up at him, her face confused, shocked, and perhaps, awe.
