Aozaki-san, I'm disappointed! Would have thought you'd be clever enough to find the castle by now.
No matter. I was thinking we should have another match of shogi. Akagi-nee-sama wishes to speak with you about the Lord of the Forest, so we can make a full night of it. Tea and cake too maybe? Let me know.
[ The early morning of the 25th there's no sound of sleigh bells, instead there's the sound of rotors humming in the halls of the base. Why wonder around the base with a sack and a ridiculous outfit when Kaga can just send out her little helicopters to do the job, using their rescue winches to transport the packages to their recipients.
For Aoko's discovery outside her door, red wrapped packaging with black ribbon patterned with gold stars. Containing:
One (1) bottle of good sake. One (1) box of handmade daifuku, the outer mochi in various seasonal colors. One (1) scarf. Good quality material, soft, black and patterned with stars.
And a note! Penned in the exact kind of handwriting you'd probably expect from a perfectionist warrior. IE, almost unnaturally nice. ]
Aozaki-san,
It's a relief having someone as dependable as you around. Even when we've disagreed you've been someone who's comradery I am thankful for.
[ A wrapped package can be found at Aoko's door after the Christmas Party. Unwrapping it reveals a fragrance called "Death's Door." In spite of the bottle being shaped like a skull and the liquid being pitch black, it has a really nice scent to it!
There is a message with the gift, written on a Christmas postcard: ]
Dear Aoko,
I am not sure what it is you enjoy, but I know a nice perfume is always something a graceful woman can find use for. I hope it will be to your liking, I believe it to be one of the best band they sell in this world.
Merry Christmas! -- Ereshkigal, Goddess of Death and Queen of Kûr
