Ah, it's a pity, but it seems that you've attempted to... call me when I'm not available. Leave a message and I'll respond when I have time.

[...

He's silent for a moment, as he stares. He can't deny that it's a thoughtful gift, but...]

... You're truly giving something like this to me?

action

[tsundyne]

[Don't look so surprised, she wants to say. Jeez, what does he take her for . . . ?

But she opts for slightly different words instead.]

Well, I wouldn't get too excited. Unfortunately it's got limits, and it'll only work once before it's just another piece of jewelry.

[. . .]

But . . . yeah. I thought it'd come in handy.

[... A part of him is still dumbfounded—that she would trust him enough to give him a source of magic like this. For all she knows, he could put it to use in a way that she wouldn't want.

... Still, he manages a smile.]

... It likely will. Thank you—this is rather thoughtful of you.

[It's not like he can turn its powers against her. And if he tries to use it against someone else, for whatever reason, well . . .

He'd better not.

She nods to say you're welcome.]

I usually keep one or two on me in case of an emergency -- like, if I ever run out of magic or whatever. So just think of it as a fallback.

You probably won't need it . . . but ya never know.

action

[contemptibility]

Indeed. You can't be too careful, and it'll spare me the trouble of having to devour someone instead.

action

[tsundyne]

[. . . Just. Yep. Nodding. She winces a bit at the thought -- she hated devouring -- but maintains her composure.

It's been so long now.]

E- Exactly.

Um . . . [Whatever she'd been about to say had been lost. But after an awkward moment of silence, she continues:] So, just let me know if you ever have to use it.

I can show you where to get more.

[contemptibility]

[...]

I will. Thank you—it really is a thoughtful gift.

[tsundyne]

[It takes her a moment, but she nods in reply, rather proudly. For the first time that day, maybe it'd occurred to her how deeply she'd gotten involved with Christmas this year. It's a little embarrassing, but she still doesn't regret it.]

Don't forget to share the cookies. Tell the others I stopped by -- okay?

action

[contemptibility]

[He nods.]

I will.
