( Esikko had been gone Christmas Eve on a full day and night excursion of some sort, so he arrives back in the early morning, sneaking in and probably smelling of alcohol. But he quietly leaves something at the foot of Ivan's bed for him to find when he wakes up, even if he wakes to Esikko fast asleep beside him and a little more disheveled than usual thanks to drinking.
It's a bright red box with a huge bow on it, and a card attached. Inside, Ivan will find a number of things: a silky black bath robe with gold trim, a couple of nice pieces of clothing like this fancy jeogori, and a bracelet made of glass beads tucked in a fancy box. It's various shades of blue, except for the one flower charm tucked between all the beads, the red and softly shaped petals meant to be that of an anemone flower. Stark against the rest.
The card reads: )
I've learned about this holiday called "Christmas"... a little. Really, I don't care much for whatever the true meaning behind it is. Instead, I enjoy what it seems to have become for everyone. A time to show the people you care about that you do care, with little gestures and gifts. Cute, right?
This bracelet is special. I used magic to make each of the beads, and that flower, and so I wove it with a spell that lets our heartbeats link. That is to say, you'll be able to hear and feel mine, if you focus. It might even let you find me, if you get good at it! I thought, of all people, you'd find all of this the least "weird" and maybe even find what I meant with it. Hehe.
Merry Christmas, Ivan.
Yi Seul.
( Indeed, if he puts the bracelet on, he'll feel a cool sort of presence of Esikko's heart, a faint thrumming that needs to be focused on. Uneven, inconsistent, just like Esi's poor heart. And if he's able to focus even beyond that, he can find that the sensation "points" him to Esikko... even if it's a little less obvious up close like this. A vague sense, like the same one of someone watching you. Is it... sweet? He wants it to be sweet; a connection. )
