[to everyone he's sending a gift to]

My apologies for the slight delay. I had a few things to put together and I wanted to do this all in one shot, as it were.

[/filter]

[After scrawling that message in the journal, he leaves Chimera HQ with a wooden box in his hands. The top is open, and a piece of cloth is draped across is, concealing the contents from view. He handles it carefully as he walks. It had taken several months of assembly and experimentation to get this to work correctly, and sadly the trip to Paris, as welcome as it had turned out to be, had delayed his progress quite a bit. But it was finished at last, and he could finally deliver it.

Hopefully he'd make it to his room without incident]

.....

[room filter]

[once he gets to the room, Felix gingerly places the box on the kitchen table, then reaches into the top, keeping the object in question still draped in the cloth as he pulls it out and sets it there. It's easier to see, now, that is appears to be shaped like a globe, like a crystal ball. He worries at the cloth for a moment to be sure it's covering everything, then sets the box aside and waits]

((OOC: So, here it is, late like so many others. I think I got everyone on the meme, but feel free to ask if you think he should have sent your character something and I forgot you.  Everyone else, feel free to ambush him between Gaudium tower and his room! :D))

_{[Ashura comes into the room, sweeping off his fur lined coat and hanging it up, smiling at the two Pokemon that chirped hello at his arrival. He paused a moment to give them hello pets, then wandered over towards where he had the sense his lover was.]}

Well hello, Felix.

Felix

[inafadingcrown]

[My goodness, you have excellent taste. What is it with you and your boyfriend giving her gorgeous jewelry?]

You have my thanks, Felix. You know my taste well.

Galadriel

[lord_wizard]

[They both wear more of it than her, probably]

I know enough to match elegance with elegance. I'm glad you like it.

[lord_wizard]

[Felix grinned and held a hand out to Ashura]

Hello darling.

[kungfuwitch]

Your taste is impeccable! I love it! Seriously. I know who I'm going to if I ever need fashion advice. [She chuckles]

[wishmadeinfire]

_{[He beamed, taking the hand and coming closer, leaning in to kiss him.]}

Glad to see you made it through the day in one piece.

Felix

[inafadingcrown]

[A little laugh] And fair words to match the gift. You flatter me.

[lord_wizard]

[He chuckles as well] I picked up a few things in Paris about fashion in your world. That, and it seemed very you.

Galadriel

[lord_wizard]

I can stop if you want.

Felix

[inafadingcrown]

[So amused] Far be it for me to object to such praises. If they are truly meant, then, by all means, continue if you wish to do so.

[kungfuwitch]

It even fits perfectly. Thank you. Did you get the gift I sent you?

[as the mun tries to remember if she put it in the meme... Or what it was...]

Galadriel

[lord_wizard]

[It was debatable as to how much he meant it at any given time]

You can count on it.

I've been meaning to ask you if you've met some of our new magic users?

[lord_wizard]

[The mun had to go back and find it because she forgot too. It was this]

I did, as a matter of fact. You have some excellent taste yourself. Is it a symbol from your faith?

[lord_wizard]

[Felix smirked, sliding a hand around Ashura's back]

I have something for you.

[He nodded at the object on the table. He wasn't in the mood for stalling. He'd been at this far too long to wait any longer]

Felix

[inafadingcrown]

I have met some. I do make an effort to tell those I deem clever and trustworthy of your council.

[wishmadeinfire]

And the day just got better.

_{[He grins, following him along, his own arm sliding around him.]}

[kungfuwitch]

Thank you. It is, yes. The pentacle, the star and circle part of the pendant, the five points symbolize the four elements or cardinal directions as well as the spirit. It's the unity of all parts of the world. The crescent moon is balance and harmony.

[lord_wizard]

I could use more harmony in my life.

Galadriel

[lord_wizard]

Which is truly and greatly appreciated.

Have you met Dairine or Vanyel?

[lord_wizard]

[He points to the covered globe on the table]

Merry exceedingly belated Christmas, darling.

Felix forever

[inafadingcrown]

I have met Dairine and I begin to think a great deal of her. She reminds me much of myself in my youth. [Smart, stubborn as Hell, pretty bratty at times.] Vanyel, I have not yet had the pleasure.

[wishmadeinfire]

_{[He blinks and goes to the globe, tugging off the sheet and gasping at what he sees. He suddenly feels like his ring was shoddy in comparison.]}

It's beautiful...

[lord_wizard]

[Suspended inside the clear glass globe was a floating light, much like Felix's witchlights, though this one was a fiery red and shaped much like a rose. It cast a faint reddish glow on the nearby walls.

He smiled and reached out to brush his fingers over the glass. As if reacting to his touch, the flower glowed even brighter nearest his fingers, like a fire kindling with a breeze]

It's a bit of an experiment. I'll have to re-charge it like this every so often, but as long as the glass stays intact, it will stay this way.

Galadriel forever

[lord_wizard]

He has abilities like yours, among quite a few others I've yet to discern.

He was...less than thrilled at the idea of you reading him.

[inafadingcrown]

If his gifts are truly akin to mine, I am not surprised in the least. I have taken great measures to protect my own mind. You may assure him I will not delve deeply without either permission or reason. There are some things, however, I cannot help. It is something like sight; you may choose not to examine an item, but you may not or would not willingly blind yourself.
