A letter arrives at her door. It's on nice paper and surprisingly neat handwriting.

- Aerith,
I know I have no right to ask this of you, but I need your assistance with something. Please meet with me outside of the Crossing and I can discuss it in detail

-Baiken's not one for giving gifts, really, but tis the season (and her Niceness influences her). Even so, she leaves her name off the box.

Knowing Aerith isn't much of a drinker OR a smoker made her a bit more difficult to shop for, but she'll find a package none the less, with a flower pot and seeds for a flower that reminded her of Aerith. The pot itself is handcrafted, with a certain kanji painted on its side. To Baiken's mind, it's a little redundant, but she couldn't think of a word that better described what Aerith was like...-

-Aerith probably didn't know Aerith was a master seamstress, so it would probably come as a surprise when this entire ensemble arrives at her door, signed from Ran.-

[Aerith receives a card from Juri that contained a certificate to one of the premiere seamstresses in Eros, good for one custom dress of her choice (no max value).]

[Come Christmas morning, there is a package on the kitchen table for Aerith. Inside is lingerie, a small assortment of bondage gear, wrapped in a separate box, and a ring that sits innocently on top.]

[A half owl/cat will deliver a neatly wrapped package to her. Unfortunately for the package, it seems to have suffered at the claws and beak of Delanna, but the contents are intact. Inside is a red scarf. Underneath it are three white silk sashes, similar to the ones he had used to bind her wrists and cover her eyes that one time.]

I hope these gifts find you in a good mood. I was hesitant to send them but I felt that you might appreciate them. Please enjoy the enclosed! I have been assured that it is quite comfortable to wear and likely needed in this cold.

[ That morning, Aerith will find a small package in holiday paper outside her door, a hairpin nestled inside.

Along with the package is a card with a picture drawn by Sheena of a cardinal with the words "Merry Christmas" above the ninja signature. ]

Hello, Aerith.

I'm moving out of the Crossing into a new flat I've acquired and was curious if you were interested in a get-together between me and several friends and acquaintances. I'll provide beverages of all kinds and the food. I intend this to simply be a friendly, social affair, though I'm sure things might get out of hand at one point or another even amidst my best intentions.

If you're interested and would like to bring someone along, that is perfectly fine. I hope to see you there, even if only briefly. It shall be on the 20th, starting around five in the evening.

Una serata piacevole per voi.
