a gift!

[cozen]

[ The mail cubbies in the dining hall have likely been destroyed by the abomination, at this point, so the package has to find its way to her some other way. But it does eventually find her! And it contains a fipple flute—solid wood, fine quality for a beginner but not too fancy—and a note: ]

Lady Barra,

If Byerly tells you to stop, blow on it as hard as you can until he leaves.

crystal.

Do you have a moment, Sonia?

[vorbratta]

Certainly! I am very available at this particular moment.

I need some advice as to what a young lady might like to receive for Satinalia. I think I didn't manage very well last year.

There's a knock at Sonia's door during the evening on the day after after the Satinalia feast. Colin stands with a shy little smile, shoulders a teeny bit hunched as if he's faintly apologetic for being there despite himself.

"I didn't get the chance last night, so..." He offers her a little package wrapped in paper.

One day, Sonia will figure out how to get Colin to look a little less apologetic for his own presence around here. She greets him with a warm smile, and her eyes light up as she takes the package.

"Oh, Colin, you're too sweet!" She ushers him inside with her free hand, looking delighted. "I'm so glad you came by. I've got something for you, too."

As always, he’s somehow surprised that his friendships are reciprocal. Still, he relaxes a bit as he steps inside, glancing about the room.

“You don’t have to,” he says as it occurs to him she might just be looking around for something to give him in return.
