[sometime before mission-time, when he can sense her in that room of hers, Blue gently knocks on the door and waits for an answer.]

[bindsthedead]

[Sabriel opens the door promptly, smiling with honest happiness when she sees who it is.]

Blue! Please, come in.

[firstroar]

[her happiness is a balm, and Blue can't help but smile small as he dips his head in greeting and steps inside. he has some cut paper pressed between his palms, obscured.]

Thank you...I hope you've got a couple minutes. I wanted to give you something I've made.

[bindsthedead]

I do. Please, sit down if you'd like.

[The table and chairs are for once, clear of papers and any notes.]

It's been interesting, to stay on the station for so long without a mission.

[firstroar]

It seems...to have only increased the amount of festivities, I think. [unless the timing is just fated as such that it hit those increased festivities, he can't rightly say.

he sits down, setting the folded paper on the table.] And it is...the longest I've been here, in this facility.

[bindsthedead]

Well, it's been the longest I've been here as well. And I think the festivities were a combination of timing, and people having the time to plan them.

[firstroar]

Either way...it's been insightful. There are no such things among my people. Nothing...to this degree of spectacle, in any case.

I've learned a lot... [he pushes the paper toward her. unfolded, it's a simple paper snowflake.] And while it is not...a very fanciful gift, it is something I've learned. I wanted to share such a thing with you.

[bindsthedead]

True. But I think the sentiment behind festivities is often the same, regardless of how elaborate it is.

[Sabriel picks it up, delicately. There's genuine interest in the way she looks over it, observing the pattern.]

Thank you. It might not be fancy, but- it is a gift, and I thank you for it.

[firstroar]

[he smiles a little.]

You're welcome. My hope is...I'll be able to return your kindness...in better ways, if I can.
