[ wherever Asterios happens to be at the moment, he's surely not checking the ground in front of him all the time, right? just far enough so that he wouldn't step on a brown box with his name on it in bright orange handwriting!
the mysterious gift giver will try his best to not be seen, be it hiding behind a pot or ducking into an alleyway, but surely his bright orange fur might get seen if briefly... ]
[ nice! not spotted... but it doesn't look like Asterios looks that surprised by who might've left them? as he turns to get a peek at that smile, Kaden can't really help himself as he allows his head to be fully noticed.
both ears twitch. ]
Yeah? I knew they would be! I mean, look at what shape they're of. If they look good, they surely will taste good too, yeah?
She's that powerful? [ because he assumes anyone who can just make someone Not Do Something must be that in general and not specifically toward one person. ]
Hm... well. I'm glad she's here, then! If it means you'll be happier, too?
[ and he gives Asterios' knee a gentle headbutt with his fuzzy head. ]
[During the holiday month, Eikichi will have left an envelope at his door.
Inside he will find a 20x24 canvas which has been turned into a meticulously hand-drawn and painted portrait of himself surrounded by nature, a crown of flowers in his hair.
[Serah knows Asterios likes good food, so there's full containers of finger foods, homemade sugar cookies with cute decorations, cat treats for his cat, and one of the moogle toys she had gotten from Iris before she left (it's in near mint condition, don't worry) and a note attached:
"Merry Christmas! It's good to try a lot of different food, so I hope you like what I have for you. And since you and Mog are friends too, I thought you should have a Mog of your own to keep you company! I hope you like your gifts.
[A box comes by one of the larger messenger birds. Inside is a pre-assembled bird house with a loop to dangle it off a ceiling or something else. There's also a small bag of bird seed.

[On Valentine's Day, Asterios will receive a bright red card with a little rabbit hand-painted on the front. Inside is a little note in perfectly neat cursive and a small bag of chocolate chip cookies.]
Dear Mr. Asterios
Happy Valentines Day! I wasn't sure if you would like chocolate chip cookies, but I hope you do.
( Asriel will take the time to try to find Asterios in the woods, carefully holding a wrapped box. He'll look around every so often, calling out for him. )
[ His Master had, finally, convinced him to stop living in the woods... but luckily for everyone involved, Asterios was there today to pick up firewood.
Upon hearing his name, Asterios does walk over, several hefty branches under one arm. ]
( Asterios comes into view, and Asriel's face lights up a bit - his small tail beginning to wag. After their last conversation, he hadn't been sure that his friend would come out to greet him. )
Howdy, Asterios!
( He approaches him a bit before holding out a wrapped present for him to take. )
[ Now, Asterios is somewhat familiar with the holiday, given that they celebrate it at Chaldea. And it... gets progressively weirder every year but that's a whole other tangent.
However, he is surprised to be getting a gift - also because of their last conversation! He slowly takes it. ]
( There's a more tentative smile then -- hesitant, a bit uncertain. It's true that the last time that they had spoken was a little on the tense side, but he doesn't consider Asterios someone any less of a friend. )
... Y... Yeah... Uhm... I wanted to try to give presents for all the friends I made here.
( It's nothing huge, but it's a blanket -- one that should be extra large, given how tall Asterios is. )
... I know that you were scared the last time we talked, but -- I never stopped thinking of you as one of my friends.
[ Asterios goes quiet as he begins to unwrap the present. He finds the blanket, and runs his fingers across it. The entire time, his expression never changes.
Then, he moves towards Asriel... and gently pats his head. ]
[ He moves to shuffle around, taking something out of a satchel - He's learned how to make a few potions during his time here, and always keeps some on hand just in case. Guess this is just in case! So he takes out a bottle. ]
... Here. Potion. This will... heal you. Small scrapes. Bruises. Infection.
( For a moment, Asiel can't help but look on. Their first instinct is to protest the gift, because... they don't need anything in return. Just knowing that Asterios likes the present is more than enough.
He hesitates to take it, but offers a smile regardless. )
A... Are you sure...? You might need it a lot more, right? Uhm... I don't really fight or anything.
[For most of her gifts, Medea had been slipping out the shadows, dropping gifts and running- but it felt a little mean to treat her cousin that way.
Instead she'd just be sneaking something onto his doorstep in the early hours- a package containing a huge, warm cloak. She wanted to make sure he didn't freeze this winter!]
[ A Christmas Tree can be found within Asterios's room with the following items!
Obtained x1 Basket of Cleaning items to take a bath with! Comes with, a huge scrub Asterios Sized, a huge Towel Asterios Sized, a Hunk of Bath Soap Asterios Size, etc. x1 BB Note: I OWE YOU 1 Swim Suit Alt for your Spirit Origin when you get it back x1 Euryale Body Pillow! x1 Big Blanket for his BIG ASTERIOS BED
Upon your doorstep/mailbox/table or whatever! However delivery in this world works. The details don’t matter.
Before you is a gift & chocolate. Hakuno has other deliveries for others that came with letters, but she didn't write one for Berserker, unsure if he knows how to read, though he should? Well, all he knows is that it came from Hakuno Kishinami.
[ Asterios received socks for his horns & a whole cake. ]

doesn't take long to put two and two together.
He gets a hint of a smile, and begins to nibble on one.]
... Good.

Yeah? I knew they would be! I mean, look at what shape they're of. If they look good, they surely will taste good too, yeah?

... Why did you do this?
no subject
[ he softly paws at the ground while looking around, trying not to seem too obvious. ]
... and I felt bad.
no subject
no subject
Maybe. I could've done something more right, then--- like bring you cookies earlier.
no subject
[He just wants to point out, then pauses to explain.]
My Master... is here.
no subject
[ but then his ears go straight up and stiff. ]
Hm? Your Master?
[ wait. he's pretty sure he's talked to someone about... ]
... oh! She has red hair, right?
no subject
... Because Master is here... you will be safe. Everyone will be safe. Master can stop me... before I hurt people.
no subject
Hm... well. I'm glad she's here, then! If it means you'll be happier, too?
[ and he gives Asterios' knee a gentle headbutt with his fuzzy head. ]
no subject
Yes. Happy. Master is good person. Kind.
no subject
[ oh nice. headpats. thank you very much ]
Do you take after her?
no subject
no subject
no subject
... Perhaps. Master is very special. Can command and win over... the harshest of souls.
no subject
no subject
No. Can only command Servants. Would not want to force you.
Master is good... Master says my name without fear.
no subject
[ wags his tail. ]
... but I'm sure that doesn't mean as much.
no subject
My first life... only two people, ever called my name. Master was the second.
Belated Holiday Present
Inside he will find a 20x24 canvas which has been turned into a meticulously hand-drawn and painted portrait of himself surrounded by nature, a crown of flowers in his hair.
There's a small note inside.
Happy Holidays!

Asterios! Are you there...?
no subject

... Asriel.
no subject
Howdy, Asterios!
( He approaches him a bit before holding out a wrapped present for him to take. )
Merry Christmas!
no subject
However, he is surprised to be getting a gift - also because of their last conversation! He slowly takes it. ]
This is... for me?
no subject
... Y... Yeah... Uhm... I wanted to try to give presents for all the friends I made here.

... I know that you were scared the last time we talked, but -- I never stopped thinking of you as one of my friends.

Then, he moves towards Asriel... and gently pats his head. ]
... You are... a good child.
no subject
Does that mean you like it...?
no subject
... But I like this.
no subject
( He can't help but smile at what Asterios says next. He can't help it. He's relieved he likes it. )
Golly, really? That's great!

A... Are you sure...? You might need it a lot more, right? Uhm... I don't really fight or anything.
no subject
It would be best, you have this, and never be harmed... then to not take it, and be harmed, with no way to heal.
[ With that, he gently begins to press the potion into the boy's hands. ]
no subject
( While Asriel knows such things far better than other children, he recognizes Asterios's generosity and protectiveness. He appreciates it a lot. )
Thank you, Asterios-- for trying to protect me.
no subject
[ Asriel is clearly trying to protect Asterios' heart. ]
no subject
( So... of course he wants to try to do his best to protect him. )
Christmas Delivery!
Instead she'd just be sneaking something onto his doorstep in the early hours- a package containing a huge, warm cloak. She wanted to make sure he didn't freeze this winter!]

... But he will eventually wear the cloak as he goes outside, and be quietly grateful. ]
