In private, Adam offers an envelope. "I.... Nab, I want you to have.... everything. But.... well." He offers a scroll.

Inside is a star chart for their first meeting; a conjunction of THEM, as it were. Adam may have paid/served with Sir Almaindine to be blind about the boy's efforts.

Also..... the mortal purchase of the brightest available star in that conjunction as "Nabuni 1"

Nabuni gapes as she opens and looks "Oh Adam, tthis is the most wonderful...." She buzzes with excitement
shadylady 1:54pm
Her reaction delights him. "Glad you like it!!!"
earldebuke 1:56pm
"I've never had a star before!" She says
shadylady 1:57pm
"You deserve it." Firmly
earldebuke 1:59pm
"I can watch it with you sometime
"
shadylady 2:01pm
"I'd like that." With a grin.
earldebuke 2:01pm
A knock on the door
shadylady 2:05pm
Assuming they are mostly dressed, Adam calls "Come in!"
earldebuke 2:06pm
They are...
earldebuke 2:06pm
Zane peeks in, "Hey guys"
shadylady 2:07pm
"Hey Dude!" Adam hops up and grabs a present. "Happy Yule. Here!"
earldebuke 2:07pm
"Hey.." And Zane hands him one "trade you"
shadylady 2:08pm
"Thanks! He opens it.
earldebuke 2:12pm
"Not sure if it's your style, but I figure if you ever end up in a war it might keep you pretty" A grin
earldebuke 2:12pm
earldebuke 2:12pm
"It's built in the style of the Gondor helmets from the movie. "
earldebuke 2:13pm
The metal seems light, but strong.
earldebuke 2:13pm
Chimerical, of course
shadylady 2:14pm
Adam gapes "Holy shit Zane, it's amazing!" He tears his gaze from it to the small package he gave Zane. "Dude, my present sucks. I'm sorry."
earldebuke 2:15pm
"relax man, you're cool, I'm cool. Whatever it is, I'll pretend to love it' Then he grins and opens his
shadylady 2:16pm
"You don't have to, man."
earldebuke 2:17pm
"Dude, it's okay"
earldebuke 2:17pm
"Maybe he WILL like it" Nab points out, "Let him find out"
shadylady 2:19pm
He sighs, and waits.
earldebuke 2:19pm
And Zane sees what it is
earldebuke 2:20pm
Zane gets a photo book and gets earbud cord organizers made of leather and fabric scraps to resemble tacos.
earldebuke 2:20pm
And he laughs
earldebuke 2:23pm
"Dude... that's hilarious"
earldebuke 2:23pm
He seems amused
shadylady 2:23pm
"Sorry....."
earldebuke 2:23pm
"What for? Love it! It cracks me up"
shadylady 2:27pm
"It's not as nice as this. Just stuff I made."
earldebuke 2:28pm
"Dude, you made it with your own hands. I didn't make my gift to you"
earldebuke 2:29pm
"Trust me, tthis is great. it's funny and you put yoru heart into it."
shadylady 2:31pm
"I would have got you something magical but....."
earldebuke 2:34pm
"By the time I put a photo collection of hot changeling babes, it will be magical. Trust me"
shadylady 2:40pm
Adam laughs. "Like the swimsuit magazine?"
earldebuke 2:40pm
"That thing is gold" he nods "But yea, like that"
earldebuke 2:40pm
"Swimsuit magazine?" Nab is curious
shadylady 2:45pm
"Oh." Adam gets his copy and hands it to Nab.
earldebuke 2:50pm
Nabuni gasps "This iw wonderful..." She flips thorugh "Yup. Knew she'd be there. Oh, and her. And them..." Flip giggle
earldebuke 2:51pm
"Okay, I think you just made her Yule"
earldebuke 2:51pm
That last from Zane
shadylady 2:51pm
Adam laughs. "Well duh." Affectionately.
shadylady 2:52pm
"Hey, she got a proper present, too."
earldebuke 2:52pm
"Oh? What?"
earldebuke 2:52pm
"he got me a star" Nabuni says "Do you have a star?" Nose wrinkle "Bet not"
shadylady 2:53pm
Adam nods to the truth of this.
earldebuke 2:53pm
"I do not have a Star" Zane smiles
