day 79 🎁

[hearthwarming]

[ There is a Sphinx-colored present with Henry's name on it outside the Unicorn dorm the following day, along with a handwritten note, because she just can't get used to this phone thing. ]

Henry,

Thank you for the present. If you're curious to know, it was a succulent plant inside. I'm grateful!

I hope this present finds you and your team well.

-Ori

[ .........inside is an adult coloring book. ]

[vecna]

[Is this like, adult 18+ or adult “these coloring pages are very intricate and detailed”

Per rule of funny, the answer is: both.

Sorry, but he has to text her.]

Ori, if you wanted to know, your gift was a coloring book. I’ve never quite seen one like this before. Your present's a memorable one.

[ lol ]

[hearthwarming]

Oh, really? I'm so glad to hear that! If you ever end up coloring in it, would you share it with me?

[vecna]

I could, but I'm not sure you'd want that.

[Or... maybe she would? He won't assume.]

[hearthwarming]

What makes you think that?

[vecna]

[What if he just sends her a picture of one of the pages. Uncolored, so it’s black and white, but very— ah, detailed. It's a very horny page.]

[hearthwarming]

[ somewhere in the Sphinx dorm, there is the sound of a little yelp, followed by the sound of this indestructible phone crashing onto the floor. ]

[ TYPING IS ALREADY HARD WHEN YOU'RE A DRUID GRANDMA, EVEN MORESO WHEN YOU ARE COMPLETELY FLUSTERED ]

[vecna]

[Sorry, but he still finds a little delight in her embarrassment. Henry’s just like this, but at least it isn’t something terribly off-putting this time.

Just hilarious.]

My poor, prudish sensibilities, Ori.

[(He doesn’t actually care that much.)]

[hearthwarming]

[ At the very least, he isn't turning an adult coloring book as a way to prod into her sad past. That's growth! ]

It's not as if I was the one who chose the presents... But still, I'm so sorry! Please don't think anything of it!

[vecna]

[Look at this character development right here.]

Well, it's all right. It's like you said, you didn't pick it out. I'll just be appreciative of the fact you gave me anything at all.

[hearthwarming]

Of course I did! It's part of the game, isn't it?

[ oh. she's trying to be sassy for once, but now that she sees the words just written down, it kind of just looks like she's being a bitch maybe?? ]

[vecna]

[As though Henry would take it that way at all — he knows her enough to assume any misplaced sassiness is only lost in translation.]

Of course. You may as well go flinging presents to random strangers for the same effect.
