INBOX @ Cerealia

Why are you trying to contact me? Go away. Talk face to face. This device too annoying, waste of time!

Sweets? You eat it? [She's so shocked it's almost comical. he stares down at the treat and then back at the video[

But... Why give this to me, so suddenly?

I thought it would be a nice thing to do.

[ If he's honest, you're also close to Tenka. And he wants to be on good terms with people who are close to Tenka. However he is finding making things people will like... satisfying. Especially when it's something he genuinely enjoys doing. ]

This holiday everyone's speaking of, it sounds like a positive thing. I'm sorry if I offended?

Holiday?

[She looks perplexed, and then suddenly understanding. Oh, right!!] Oh! That thing. With the gifts and strange fat human who breaks into houses. Humans think up strangest things.

[She stares down at the box for a moment, mildly conflicted] No, am not offended. Am very touched. But... Hmm, I did not get anything for you...

[ Chuckles. ] Yes, that one.

And that's all right. I'm glad you like them. I don't have many friends-- [ Still doesn't think he has any actual friends. Just allies and people who might prove useful someday. But he's never given a mere ally gifts before. Rivers in Egypt... ]

But there are people here who have been kind and friendly to me.

Hmm... [A thoughtful hum and she considers this carefully.]

Will find something. [It's said quite firmly and Oona nods as if in agreement with herself.] What things do you like? Will get something, it is only right. Price is nothing, so do not worry about wanting something expensive!

[ Ah... the question seems to give him pause. ]

That's a good question. [ Chuckles. The honest answer is that he doesn't know. Or, rather, things that he really wants are concepts and interactions and things that can't really be given. As for physical objects... there isn't really anything. He can't even think of something he'd ask for on his twin's behalf. ]

What about a plant?
