hmm. ( a jokingly serious hum as he accepts the other box, giving maylin a sideways glance. he will have to give her a big hug after this─ once, of course, he’s given her his own gift. ) curious, indeed.

( carefully opening it. )

[ there is a wide, eye reaching smile greeting him at the look.

reveling in the satisfaction and happiness of a gift gone right, ]

I'm very very happy you do. This is the least I could gift given how you've been such a good friend and a big help ever since I arrived.

( upon opening the box, his mouth falls open, and for a moment all he can do is stare at the bracelets. then, looking over at maylin with glittering eyes─ ) if this is your quick gift, i can’t imagine what your slow gift would be like.

they’re… wow. i love ——

ㅤ so, I found these when visiting my grandma back home in Xijiang.

They made me think of you, and I thought they'd be more comfortable than metal when you fix things

totally with ya. ( a glance around the cozy atmosphere, complete with christmas lights hung around the walls; with a smile, he makes his way to an empty booth in a warmly lit corner and waits for her to sit. )

almost lost track of the time of year.

I'm thinking a nice booth seat, gives us a bit more privacy to catch up.

You flatter me, Vincent.
But I am glad I could help as much as I could.

( she felt just the same; days were quite mundane without him around ) I'm very glad to hear that

My grandma. She needed more help after falling, but she's better now. For a 97 year old she's quite healthy
