[Once Shinjiro actually resigned himself to doing the Gifts Thing, Kaede was one of the easier of his friends to shop for. It helps when you have One Highly Visible Passion, and after some back and forth with Garfield, finally manages to find a wind-up music box that plays songs that just so happen to sound very similar to Beethoven and Chopin and Bach. There are some Faerunian plagiarists out here, clearly -- or there are just some intense planar coincidences going on, at least.
It's wrapped up neatly in sparkly wrapping paper, with a standard holiday card tucked into it that has a cute little rabbit with a santa hat on the front and a very simple "happy candlenights" message on it -- which he meant to leave at Kaede's door and promptly skeddaddle, but fate does not care for the best-laid plans of mice and men.
That is to say, just as he reaches the door, aiming to set the box down .... well, the door itself opens up. And perhaps embarrassingly, Shinjiro's first instinct is to. hide the box behind his back. Can I get an f in chat.]
