"Happy Yule, baby" CC informed and handed him a package, "I think you'll like this one"

"Mmm?" He takes the package and carefully picks the paper apart. Yes, it could be saved and used again.

She smiles at his fussiness, it soon proves to be a modern book, hardback, it's first printing

the title says Crownbreakers: Book One

He frowns at it, and reads the flycover and back.

It's a fantasy story that pops with glamour and... the name, he recognizes it. This i that college boy she introduced him to almost two years ago. The one he helped muse a few times!

"Ahem" she says gently

"You may not remember him well but he remembered you. "

A soft smile. "No, I do recall him. We met... well, quite a bit for coffee. Well well well........"

"You're mentioned in the front of the book. By one of your own nome deBoggans. Honey, the reviews on it have been very good, they're calling it 'High Fantasy with an Anarchist Soul' . Mortals who read it are moved towards shall we say a certain anti=authoritism?" CC grins "I thought you might like the news that you were still a force in your musing"

He huffs. "Musing? Well. Something to do when time hangs on one, I suppose."

"Fff, as if you're not good at it. "

Then "I had himautograph it, but I can seee it's good I got you more than one thing"

"Dearest...." To forestall her "Just this much is wonderful!"

"Too bad," A grin, "I got more"

"Oh no...."

"Relax, the duo of wilder girls was a fun idea,but I thought it might be more of a chore than a delight for you so I decided no. Besides, you're not wired for 2-20" wicked wink

She produces yet another box, sizable

When he opens it, she pulls forth a card and reads:

"The cheesemonger in your life is probably all set on slate serving boards, but do they own a Cheese Grotto yet? This unit is made of birch and bamboo plywood, and the interior stays temperature-regulated by wetting the included slab of clay on the lowest level.

Both hard and soft cheeses can be stored in this mini cheese cellar, and it can even be kept out on a countertop for short-term enjoyment. " She stops reading and smiles, "And I thought, we do all sorts of food things together, but I don't believe my lover has a cheese grotto"

(Pause scene 😉 )

"I do -not- have a cheese grotto, if I did you would surely already know of it." He smiles, examining the thing. "Dearest, this is wonderful." He sets it aside and rises to take her hand and pull her to his reestablished lap. "Thank you." He kisses her.

She kisses him back, "Well, it really is clever and useful " She confesses "For our cooking. I also ... uhm..." A blush? A blush!

A small grin. "Yeeeeeessss?"

She reaches for the last gift, "I feel silly doing this, but .."

And hands it over

"Welsh love Spoons" She says as he opens the case 'At least that's how they were sold to me"

"Dearest, how thoughtful and appropriate!" He is delighted.

'I thought it was so tasteful, it was crafted by this troll girl up north, she normally does more nordic work but apparently does celtic too" CC says

He runs the links through pudgy fingers. "Chained together?" An eyebrow.

"only if you ask nicely" A husky voice

"Mmmm...." some amusement there. He kisses the palm of her hand and she can feel the flex of Glamour as he Mooches something to her. An aqua jewelers box. No a ring box, mind, but....

A curious look, "you sly devil,what are you slipping me this time?" She opens it

A pair of half caret diamond solitare earing are nestled within.

She them up, then the other "Oh my"

OOC: oh. ENGLISH you're using I see. I shall try to learn that 😮

BIC: She doesn't even relaize that she's not kenning them, not looking them over for tricks or dangers. She ignores decades of life on the run and intrigues and just puts them in

"Of course, these don't come close to the fire in your eyes, but they may help draw attention where it is due...." he strokes from her temple to ear, and down her neck.

She moans appreciatively, "Let me know no when and were you want to show these, and me off, love. "
