[A messily-wrapped box, with Kaede's name written directly on the colorful paper. There's a handmade card on top, decorated with stickers and doodles of wintry images like snow, gingerbread men, etc. It's not properly signed, but the signature isn't necessary. On one side of the interior:]
Tall green trees in lights twinkling bright, Sparkling strands of tinsel and snow pure white, The smell of hot cocoa and apple cider too, A very merry Candlenights, from Sayori to you!
[And then on the other side:]
Remember when we talked about Candlenights after Maru? I've been thinking about it a lot. It's not the way I imagined, but it seems like people are still having a good time, aren't they? Even though things went the way they did, I'm really happy I get to spend it with you and all the other wonderful people I've met here!
[Inside the box is a rapier care set consisting of light mineral oil and a metal polishing kit, pajama pants in a soft pink with white pattern, and a brooch. The sheet music protected beneath the glass is familiar to Kaede, but it's probably more planar coincidence.]
[Kaede isn't much for leaving gifts. She's been incredibly busy running around between the moon base and New New Aspen, making sure she's gotten to give her gifts personally. It's exhausting, but seeing the smiles on people's faces makes it all worth it. At least, that's what she tells herself. Her feet are starting to hurt from all this running around!
Close to one of the food tables is where Kaede finally spots Sayori, and she makes a beeline toward the other girl, shrugging off her backpack on the way.]
Sayori-san, I got your present! I love it, it's so thoughtful!! I have something for you, you'll let me give it to you now, right?
[She's already reaching right into her backpack. It's Santa time.]
[That is the sound of Sayori's inquisitive hum through cheeks absolutely stuffed with sweet food. Her eyes widen in excitement as Kaede approaches and she forces down this mouthful so that she can talk, grinning but already flushed at the idea of receiving a gift in return.] Aah, Kaede, you didn't have to!!
[Still, she's wiping her hands on a napkin so that she does not make a mess of whatever this generous gift is going to be.]
[She giggles. Sayori is so cute? Kind of gross when she eats, but like, in a cute way. Kaede can't resist reaching out and poking her cheek with one finger.]
I did though! I wanted to give presents to all my friends, so... here!! You have to open it now though, okay? It's not rude or anything!
[She finally finds what she's looking for and rests her backpack on the ground between her feet so she can offer the wrapped gift in both hands. It's soft, bending to the touch, and if Sayori listens to Kaede and opens it immediately, she'll find a leather-bound journal, clearly something that's been purchased here on Faerun instead of at Fantasy Costco. On the inside cover is a... poem...? In the loosest sense of the word.
Roses are red, and Christmas lights too I don't know how to write poems But I know you sure do!!
