(( Satinalia, Evening, @Teagan Guerrin ))
She had been surprised she had been able to find the things she had in Redcliffe village. Trade seemed to be flowing better this far south than she expected. The day before she had spent the afternoon in the village shopping, and while most of the items she got were things she would need for her stay that she hadn't brought with her, a few of them were perfect gifts for her host. Satinalia was just a good excuse to purchase them, and it also came with the benefit of wrapping paper being available. Painted paper with abstract silver splashes.
Wrapping the book had been easy, the white ribbon easily holding together all the sharp lines. The bottle was not so neatly wrapped, the paper more crumpled than she would have liked for the gift. Still, she tied the ribbon around the top as neatly as she could and hoped he wouldn't mind the crumple of the paper around the bottle.
The whole idea felt silly, but she wasn't with her sister on this holiday, and she wanted to let Teagan know she appreciated him having her as his guest. It was polite after all. So when the evening came, and dinner had been concluded, she went back to her rooms to grab the packages and attend him in his office. It was supposed to be further discussion of her duties while here, though they had spent a portion of the day earlier doing just that. An evening drink before bed would be nice, but she hoped that he found the gifts a nice surprise.
She arrived at his office and knocked on the door, waiting for his permission to enter. Once given she walked inside, the gifts under one arm, and a smile on her face. "I hope your dinner is settling well, my lord."
She was dressed in her usual garments, vest and blouse, pants and boots. Hair back in a braid, and resting against her back. She moved forward, resting the gifts on the desk in front of him, "There's no way I could have hid them behind my back, so I hope you don't mind. Happy Satinalia, Teagan."
She took a seat in a chair in front of his desk, though didn't sink back into it. Instead she sat on the edge, her hands folded in front of her as the excitement shone on her face.
