[It's a simple envelope though it has some Christmas-y looking bees buzzing over it in what looks like crayon. Opening it up will reveal a note and a larger piece of paper.]
Dear Viktor,
My training data taught me that presents are supposed to be given to people you care about this time of year. I didn't know what to buy so I hope you like this drawing. Sorry it's not much.I'll do better next time.

[The other piece of paper has three pencil drawings on it. In the upper right is a cartoon-styled version of Viktor with his cane. In the bottom left is a little cartoon bee that's carrying Viktor's staff and its face resembles Viktor's.]
[The center of the page has Viktor as he was before sitting in his wheelchair while Viktor as he is now is standing with a hand on the sitting Viktor's shoulder. Both are sketched with an incredible amount of detail though the sitting Viktor doesn't look frail or weak even with his obvious issues. The two Viktors have the same kind eyes and gentle smiles. This is how Caine has always seen Viktor regardless of if he had the chair or not.]
[The drawings are cute and touching, and they make it clear to Viktor how much Caine cares for him, and how positively he views him. He especially appreciates the work Caine put in to create something.
Caine's gift is a small bee trinket Viktor made which actually has a bulb that lights up, and it can be worn as a brooch or displayed as a trinket on a desk or shelf. He also got Caine a tin of high-quality hot chocolate mix, and a nonfiction book of bee species, photos, illustrations, and fun facts.]
Dear Caine,
Thank you kindly for your gift. The illustrations are very sweet, and I appreciate that you took the time to draw for me. I hope your holidays are warm and peaceful, with plenty of hot chocolate.
- Viktor
P.S. Please come have dinner at my home sometime, with Xander, Skan, and I.

Dear Viktor,
I love the little bee! I'm going to put it on my hat next to my Undine sapphire! It's too pretty to just let it sit around somewhere!
I'd love to come over for dinner, but would that be okay with your roommates?
- Caine
[Last time he saw Xander and Skan you were on the verge of death, and he's pretty sure Skan hates him.]
no subject
I have asked them, and they are okay with it, yes. I will forewarn that Skan's diet mostly consists of raw meat, so I hope that does not disturb.
Viktor
no subject
Then I accept! Whenever would be most convenient for you!
And there aren't any issues with raw meat! I made an adventure with a psychopathic butcher who hung raw meat all over the walls before!
[Yeah that...that totally sounds normal, Caine.]
no subject
[Totally normal.]
Very well. How about Friday? Do you have any preferences or dietary restrictions?
no subject
[How are there so many flavors?! The mind boggles!]
Should I bring something as the guest? Maybe some dessert for you and Xander and sweetbreads for Skan?
no subject
That would be very kind of you.
