[If you are one of the lucky ones to receive a specific gift from the elf, it's been delivered to you wherever you are right now, in a red box with green hand-tied bow, along with a note:

My apologies for how late this Christmas gift is. I wanted to make sure I did it right and get everyone something that fit them best while adhering to the customs of the holiday. I hope what you find inside is worthy of you, and may good things come your way always. From: Alleyne]


[End Filter]

[And with that sap done, she'll finally be given the gifts she's owed, by others and the castle itself. They were waiting for her until she had given out herself, and she's quite overwhelmed by everyone's kindness. What she wasn't expecting though, even after hearing of others receiving things from back home, was to see a familiar pink face scurrying about her room this day.

She hoists him up on her shoulders and takes him out to the lobby, feeding him bits of fruit and dictating into the journal.]


Seems the castle didn't forget a gift for me after all. Everyone, I'd like you to come to the lobby and meet an old friend of mine form back home. I'll be on the lobby. Oh, and bring small bits of food, if you would.

[When you show up, a small, pink monkey will be on her shoulder, being as adorable as possible. He'll wave at you when you come by, but will otherwise cling to Alleyne's braid and eat happily.]

[ooc: Whatever Alleyne gave you on this meme feel free to react to getting now! If you gave her something, it's been received. The castle's gift to her is her pet monkey, Ruu.]

[Aradia was chillin' in the game room, readin' a book, when suddenly a red and green gift box appears out of nowhere and falls in her lap.] Oof-! What the...

[But then she reads the tag, and then she opens it, and then she gets SUPER DUPER EXCITED. There's a few minutes of general fangirling mercifully not recorded by the journal, before she finally takes the thing out to dictate a thank you.]

alleyne!
thank you so much this is awesome!!
ah my gosh you wrote so much! :D

[disciplines]

[Good thing you can't see her, because a slight blush is tinting her face. Must. Remain. Stoic.]

Well, I just wanted to make sure it was noted down right so people could reference it easy, but I'm glad you like it all. I figured it and the dagger would suit you well, especially since you couldn't come with us.

[psych0p0mps]

ahh yes this is both fantastic and wonderful
is the dagger from the ruins then :0

[disciplines]

I found the materials for it there; part of what we traversed was volcanic, and it was of perfect shape and edge to be formed into a knife. I know you and your race fight well, so let it serve you well. Just be careful, it is quite sharp.

[adorbs]

Ah, M-Ms. Alleyne! [adgkahsgd a little later, a sunny voice is coming over the journal]

T-Thank you so much! I really like my presents.

filter forever~

[disciplines]

[Abwuh, good thing you can't see her blushing a bit either. This gift giving thing sure is embarrassing, in a good way. Her voice is as cool as ever though.]

I thought they'd suit you and help keep you warm during this time of year. You're young and can catch cold easily, you should watch yourself, right?

[adorbs]

Mm! [haha, the sound of her... nodding] And I can wear it while I practice!

[disciplines]

Exactly, I wouldn't want you to get splinters or blisters. At least, not yet. We can toughen your hands once you've gotten a bit better.

[You've no idea how happy that makes her to hear, ffff.

A small couple squeaks can be heard as she talks.]

I know you'll do well. You've the right spirit for it.

[guiding]

[Lilith hadn't heard any of this, but she was just passing through the lobby when she happened to see the little monkey.]

Well hello there, little friend.

[disciplines]

[Ruu perks his ears and face up, turning to face the passerby, waving a bit and squeaking happily and softly. His tone is gentle and friendly, eyes wide.

Alleyne takes notice a second later, her own ears perking up, twitching a bit as she looks at you curiously. She'll watch for now, knowing it's not her that's being spoken to right yet.]

[guiding]

[It doesn't take her long to tilt her gaze to the monkey's owner, giving her a warm smile.]

That is a lovely pet you have.

[disciplines]

[Ruu clings faithfully to Alleyne, happy as can be in his spot.

The elf tilts her head and nods a bit, tone soft. She feeds him a small bit of fruit and pats his head.]

Ahh, Ruu? He is, the castle seems to have been nice enough to return him to me. I've not seen him in almost a year.

[shipper_on_deck]

You thought of me! How sweet, Alleyne.

[disciplines]

Probably not in the way you'd want me to, tch. Just consider it payment enough for what good you have done.

[shipper_on_deck]

[heh]

I don't do good, but I'll take it anyway.

[disciplines]

[She'll snort a bit, almost growling as she talks now]

Are you trying to get me to say out loud what usefulness you have proved yourself? Take a compliment and a gift gracefully.

[gevurah]

A pet from home?

dictated;

[disciplines]

[Her tone is a bit calmer for once. Not quite happy, but it's still a large shift in tone from what you're all usually used to hearing from her.]

One I'd not seen in almost a year. Last I saw him was before I arrived.

dictated;

[gevurah]

[ She notes it. ]

Sounds like he's pretty important to you.

[inafadingcrown]

You have my thanks for the gift, Alleyne, and also an invitation to join me in the use of it whenever you may wish. [...just don't get drunk. You are a sad, sad drunk.]

[disciplines]

[What, you don't believe 'abwuhboohbuwh why don't married girls like me' makes good drinking conversation?]

I figured something refined would suit you best. I'm glad it worked out.

[inafadingcrown]

[No, no, it doesn't. She chuckles] And you flatter me as well.

[gunslinger]

Old friend...?

[disciplines]

My monkey companion from the forest back home, Ruu. It's been forever since I last saw him. I was pleasantly surprised by this castle, for once.

[gunslinger]

Wow, a monkey?! I'd love to meet him.
