You're being far too nice to me with all these gifts.
As for the picture, I managed to snag a few the other day. It's been fun seeing how many trinkets I've come home with each day. I'll have a full banner of them by the time the season comes to an end!
Good. It'll give us something to look forward to. It'll give me a full year to come up with some good ideas!
Or is it simply that you’re not used to receiving gifts from me?
Though, I could say the same about our ongoing—and rather charming—correspondence. I’m still not entirely used to bantering with the head of the Spina quite so often or casually, but I can’t say I mind it. In fact, I’ve grown quite fond of it.
The pictures, the invitations, and the plans we've made so far; they've all been good things to look forward to.
[ you're right, she thinks. though it could be said that she doesn't often take presents laying down. a present for a present, she thinks. so it's always on equal terms.]
I do enjoy talking to you, much more than previously. Clorinde was right - you are a rather nice guy. Don't tell her I said that though, she swore me to secrecy. And you're right. I'm not used to receiving gifts from you yet. I'm quite sure it'll change in the future, so please, don't mind my overreactions for the time being.
Oh, am I? That’s the first time I’ve heard her describe me in such a warm light.
All jokes aside, your secret’s safe with me. With any luck, perhaps Miss Clorinde will manage to avoid getting pulled into this place altogether.
And I appreciate the heads-up, especially as we head deeper into the holiday season. You can rest easy knowing that any future gifts won’t be quite so loud or audacious—unless, of course, the occasion calls for it.
[ when her birthday comes around, perhaps. hehe. ]
