Gift Exchange Room

@☾ Sora Choi￥✔ Sae walked up to the other, holding out a box that had a bit of frost on it. Sae had been experimenting lately to make some medical equipment from her ice and accidentally made something else that she had no use for - but she figured that someone else would. "I am very good at gift-giving but I do hope that you like these," Sae nodded to her.

@დ Kang Daesung Sae walked up to her friend as she held out the box to him. She knew that they had spoken recently, but of course, they were a bit busy lately. She did hope though that he liked the gift that she had found for him. "I found this while researching - I am not sure how to use it or what it's for, but I thought only you could figure it out," She nodded to him.

@❖♕ Bambi Naka † Sae carried in the gifts that she needed to give out as she held them carefully so as not to break them. She walked to her friend as she held out a box to her. She hoped that she would like this gift, and this year she was actually not just to gift drive-by and dip. "I saw these in the market and thought you would like them. I am sure if you drink a lot of tea - but you could also drink blood or blood wine in them," Sae nodded to her.

@♆ Joy Hyunwook walked up to the demon as he was holding a box tied with a green and black ribbon. He glanced at her as he held it out to her. "You probably already have fabulous dresses from all over, but I did make something for you two. I hope that you like it," He told her with a small nod.

@☾ Winter ¥ Hyunwook walked up behind Winter, gently bopping her on the head with the small box that he had in his hands. "Snowball, I mean Winter - I made this for you. You don't have a lot of clothes, right? I thought you might needs this someday," He shrugged, holding out the box to her.

@† Kim Myungsoo Even though they hadn't been friends for too long, he still wanted to give the other something. He had been working on this for his shop. He thought though that this would be a really good gift to give to his new friend. He walked up to Myungsoo, handing the small wrapped-up box to him. "I am sure if you are interested in fortune reading, but you can have this," He told him.

@დ Jung Nicole Sanha walked up to the shifter as he held out the small package. "Here is your present. I hope it fits , I found the base when I was searching for washed-up treasure, and I've been told that girls like jewelry," Sanha nodded at her. He hoped that it was okay and she liked it since it took a little bit of time to make.

@♆ ♕ Nam Vo Yooa wasn't sure if she should give this present as she didn't know what would happen if she did. She spotted said person as she walked over, reaching up to poke his arm. "I made you something for the Winter Solstice, but I don't know if you'll like it. So, just pretend and take it - and if you don't like it just toss when I am not around or something," Yooa held out the box to him.

@♆ Karina Yooa walked up to the other as she tapped her on the shoulder. The two hadn't been friends for long, but she felt like that she should make her something to thank for her taking her on an adventure, and hoping that they could be better friends in the future. "Hi, Karina. I made this for you, so I hope that you like it!" Yooa smiled at her.

@❖♕ Bambi Naka † Yooa walked in carrying a box in her arms as she glanced to see Rui carrying a basket holding the other gifts that she had made this year. She walked up to Bambi, smiling up at her. "Bambi-unnie! I know this year has been pretty hard 'cause you know stuff that has happened, but I hope that this can put a smile on your face. I found this flower when I was cleaning up the courtyard one day," Yooa held out the small box to her.

@☾ Kwon Jiyong Irene picked up the last two boxes as she approached the wolf that stole her heart. She stopped in front of Jiyong, smiling at him. "This has been one of the best years of my life - especially since you are in it so these presents can never show or explain how much I love and appreciate you," Irene looked down at her heels for a moment before looking back up at him. "But, I did get these for you so I hope that you like them," She held out the boxes to him.

@♆ Joy Irene knew that Sooyoung woulud love this outfit and find it cute and nice - but she wasn't exactly sure if the counter part inside of the other would like this as much - but really didn't mind. She approached the other, holding the light minty blue box, and tapping the other on the shoulder. "I made this for Sooyoung, but I also think that it would look very nice on Joy as well - so I hope both of you like it," Irene told the other, holding out the box to her.

@☾ Winter ¥ Irene spotted the young wolf pup as she was holding a small white box in her arms. She walked up to the other, tapping her on the shoulder. She hoped tat Winter was enjoying her first winter solstice and having a good time at the party. "Winter, I hope that you are having a good time - and I know you don't have a lot of nice dresses so I made you this. I hope that you like it," Irene smiled at her.

@დ Jung Nicole Irene spotted the shifter as she picked up the green velvet dress box that she was on the stack that she had carried in on the back of an elk that was helping her carry all the gift boxes that she had to give out this year. She reached out lightly tapping the other on the shoulder, holding out the box. "I hope that you love this," Irene smiled at her.

@⚜ ♕ Emily Mei  Irene scanned the room as she found the recently crowned princess hybrid as she walked over to her. "I hope that you like this - every princess deserves a handmade gown to wow everyone in the court. Plus this color and fabric reminded me of you when I found it in my sewing room," Irene smiled at her as she held out the box to her.

@❦ ♕ Kitty Li Irene was carrying a stack of boxes, wrapped in different wrapping paper and ribbons sparkling under the lights in the room. She set them down as she picked up one, tapping Kitty's shoulder. "We've known each other for a while now - you're my sister kit - so I do hope that you love this. Let me know if it fits or I need to alter anything," Irene held out the box to her.

@❦ Irene Hooking arms with the older one, Nicole looked at her. "A dream come true is always a good thing."

@☠ Yoon Sanha ¥✔ Slowly nodding her head, Nicole finally understand what he meant as she gave him a thumbs up. "Got it. I shall do that...or at least try my best to be mean so no one can walk all over me or you." Nicole thought about the amount of time that it had happened to her but quickly smile so she wouldn't worry Sanha. "definitely. Its okay to hurt others feelings in order to protect myself from getting h--" She gasped loudly looking at him before touching her face. "I do not have wrinkles....." She shifted her face to make wrinkles appear. "Now i do. See." She went into a fit of giggles to only calm down after a minute. "I wanted to. I didn't want to see someone i care for get treated badly if someone else was to bid on you. Plus, it gives me a reason to take you places and traveling with me to look for gems and ingredients." Nicole gave his arm a small pat. "Okay. we'll both work together to get you your freedom."

@დ Jung Nicole Irene smiled, looking down at the ground for a moment before glancing back up at her. "That is true, it is a new journey for the both of us - and I know both will be amazing," Irene beamed as her, smiling and leaning into the cheek rubs a bit from her kitsune side liking the pets. "I am pretty sure I am - but my childish spirit runs through me though," Irene laughed "Alright mom, I'm coming," Irene treated right back as she giggled, hooking arms with Nicole. "Just teasing, but yes lets go - I am so excited! I can't believe my dream of finally marrying my prince is happening," Irene beamed

@დ Jung Nicole Sanha reached up and scratched one of his ears. "I don't mean like be mean in that you have to lie or anything. Just be firm and don't let anyone mess with you. It's okay to hurt someone's feelings to protect yourself," Sanha told her as he nodded. "And, don't let others take advantage that you are nice. I can see that happened because you don't want to be mean," Sanha rolled his eyes. "Yes, you'd be the older sister. For sure, no way I am older than you - you have more wrinkles than me," Sanha teased, snickering fangs peeking through a bit more. Sanha blinked as she did what? "You didn't have to do that, you know. That is a lot of money you could have used on yourself - plus I've been doing okay as a slave. No one's bothered me yet - probably because they are afraid I might eat them but still," Sanha told her. Thought Sanha was grateful someone he trusted bid for him and won. "But, thank you - at least it is someone I trust. And, Nicole, we can work together to earn the money. I don't want this burden on you alone - it is my freedom so my responsibility," Sanha told her.

@❦ Irene "Speaking of new path, You have a whole new chapter happening in your life. So in other words, its a new journey for the both of us." She reached up to rub her cheeks gently with her thumbs gently. "You sure I'm not the older one at this point?" She teased playfully as she watch her. Maybe it was her maternal instincts from her past that always made her feel like she was the older one when it came to others. "Now come come. We must make sure you are set for your wedding."

@☠ Yoon Sanha ¥✔ "Wait...teasing....oh right. haha. Yes as part of my humor i do tease others." She showed a teethy grin to him proudly. "How do you be more mean? That will be the down fall of me for sure." Nicole wasnt joking about that. She's already a bad liar on small things, can you imagine if she was task to actually lie about important details. It would be a disaster. She held out a pinky to him smiling. "A found family is indeed still a family. I'm honor to have you as my family....and in this case, as your older sister." She wasn't sure who's older but in this moment, he felt the need to protect him and help him in any way that she can. He felt like a younger siblings who she would loved to have. One that she never had in her human life. "You're always welcome to be with me okay." She beamed happily as she spot his fangs. "I guess this should be the time that I tell you that I bought you in the slave auction so that I can free you eventually. I'll work hard to earn money so I can do that for you okay."

@დ Jung Nicole Irene nodded as it was some relief that getting these things for her didn't put her out of pocket or anything like that. "Yes, that is a good way to look at it. Having no strings attached to the old life," Irene was glad that other was able to start over and start fresh. It was always good to do that now and again with things that didn't mean anything to us anymore. Irene pulled back a moment as her cheeks were poked, rubbing them a bit out of habit. "Ah, well then you can come over anytime and use the kitchen. The little ones will know that you are coming and if you need anything the elk or deer nearby can fetch it for you if it isn't at the shrine," Irene smiled at her. "I am really glad and happy for you, Nicole, that you are finding your way. I haven't really seen you excited for the upcoming days recently, so I am happy you found a new path to take that makes you excited," Irene told her, genuinely with a nod.

@დ Jung Nicole Sanha had odd ways of showing his affection and friendship as well. He wasn't exactly the most gifted in that area since he was a bit bratty at times and only really showed his charm when he was scamming people. But, he didn't want to be that way around his friends or people he actually gave a damn about. "I do recall that - you need to work on that. You are alright at teasing - but like you said being mean isn't your strong point," Sanha nodded in agreement as he glanced at her. Sanha liked the idea of having a family again. He didn't like being on his own - it was lonely. He was used to being around people as he had only grown up in a circus environment where there was always someone to sit with or just be around even if you didn't talk to really hang out. "I would like that, Nicole. A found family is still family," Sanha gave a small half smile, the tips of fangs peeking out.

@♆ Karina /opens the box and stares at the puppet
/holds it carefully like it's precious and takes a small bite out of its wing
/savours the taste and tilts my head to the side in thought
/takes another small bite and decides to eat it slowly

@♆ Seo Inguk O . O

Eh! ... why is my baby brother working?! Did someone force you? /shock, horror/
Mini will eat them all! /air punch

@♆ ♕ Nam Vo Yes! /blushes like a shy high school anime girl
So you think of me~ /grins up at you, already latched on to your arm/
/coos at the stuffy and takes it
/looks at you, the gift, then back to you
Can I have something else?

@❦ Irene Nicole shook her head. It didn't cost her much since the items she traded them with is no longer of value to her. It helped shed some closure for her if anything. "No. It was a better trade for me to get them. so no worries on that. Plus...." She grins softly at the older. "Its a good start to a better life here to start with no attachment from my past." The Blood Moon trails had definitely helped her grow and start to get a better sense of purpose here in Heleo. She was excited to see where this next chapter take her rather than to sit and cut off getting to know others. Nicole quickly poked at her huffed out cheeks smiling widely at how sweet the older one is. "I'm thrilled to have the little one as helper and to spoil you and them lots. I believe the reason I'm set for this life is to help others like me."

@☠ Yoon Sanha ¥ Nicole did often have a weird way of showing her friendship and affections. Most time, she likes gift giving or being able to bring smile to others other times, she enjoy cooking or baking for them. But definitely, her just being there for them is what she tries to do her best for and she hope that Sanha will always continue to see that with her. "I tried to be mean when I first meet you. I don't know if you can recall but I did an awful job at that." She recalled shaking her head. She definitely did not have a mean bone in her. Not even when she's been hurt by others before. Nicole reached a hand out to pat his shoulder. "Shall we be family for one another?" She asked him carefully. "Coming from someone who no longer have a family for centuries now and meeting you who don't remember much of family, maybe it's in our path to find our own found family?" She hum softly.
