[Hello Sousei, there'll be a small box wrapped in yellow foil paper left with a For Sousei, from Hinata as Hinata bustles around Christmas Eve leaving things for people... Well, honestly, he doesn't even know if Sousei and Tenka do the Christmas thing BUT ANY EXCUSE TO GIVE PEOPLE PRESENTS.
Inside is actually another small box with a teacup inside, and besides that... a new cleaning cloth for a katana, a box of assorted loose leaf teas, and a rather thick notebook. Inside is a notebook packed with neatly-written information by this nerd, both detailing a timeline of Cerealia, a list of detailed effects from the respective things that have happened, as well as a timeline of... events on Earth. Technological, historical, medical, all kinds of advancements... he even included a list of useful books in the library.
hinata is this a christmas present to you????
(But information is the best present, or something.)
There's also a simple note that reads: Merry Christmas, Sousei. I hope you'll find these things useful.]
[Ah.... gifts. Gifts. He knows vaguely of Christmas as a concept, but he has never celebrated it and never really felt the need to. So he was not expecting these gifts, and has no gifts to give in return...sorry, Hinata, they're stuck in the past in some ways still.
But even so, they're really good gifts. They're sensible, useful and it's clear how much time and effort Hinata put into them.
So Hinata will get a neatly written note in response in his mailbox--proper, and written in very precise traditional calligraphy, because Sousei honestly had a very good education despite his childhood. He thinks a gift this thoughtful certainly deserves the extra time to send a proper thank you.]
Hinata Hajime--
Thank you for the gifts. They are very thoughtful, and will undoubtedly see use. Best wishes of the season to you as well.
Abe no Sousei
[so it's a little stiff and formal--but he really is touched, okay.]
gift; 12/24
