[Issei is knocking on his friends' doors and giving them their gifts today. Why today? He's worried about being indisposed at Christmas.

What are his gifts? Bouquets. Each with a different kind of flower. If the door isn't answered when he knocks, he'll leave the flowers wrapped up nicely by their door with a note that reads simply "Merry Christmas. - Ryudo Issei."

His gift list:
Shirou - Lilac - first love
Diarmuid - Rose (pink) - friendship
Arturia - Orchid - beauty
Neah - Gladiolus - strength of character
Tatsuma - Daisy - innocence
Ingrid - Delphinium - boldness
Hakuno - Jasmine - grace and elegance
Allen - Aster - contentment
Kaiji - Lily (day) - enthusiasm
Kiritsugu - Holly - domestic happiness
Waver - Zinnia (mixed) - thinking of an absent friend

He hopes everyone enjoys them. He spent a while picking them out.]

The new moon falls nearly on Christmas this year. If the full moon doesn't provide us with trouble, that's my next concern. ...It's something to think of, at least.

S-sorry, what are you implying?

...What do I sound like I'm implying?

Isn't 'break up' a term usually reserved for...you know, romantic couples?

Well, I'm using it platonically.

...Oh. A-alright then.

[HI I DON'T KNOW HUMANSPEAK.]

[Pat on the shoulder.]

...humans are very difficult to understand, Issei.

[Being Lancer is suffering.]

You're human.

W-well, yes. I just meant that...regardless, there's still a fair amount that I simply don't comprehend.

I know. But you'll learn more.

I know, I know. It's quite irritating to be so far behind, though.

A small handicap and nothing more.

[He nods.]

Makes sense.

I hope you like daisies.

Mm! They're nice.

[He holds tighter onto the bouquet.]

If that's all, I have a few more deliveries to make. Happy holidays.

[Good thing Kanda isn't at the door.] ...Issei?

Merry Christmas.

[A bouquet of aster flowers. The meaning wasn't quite the same in Japan as in Western floriography - 'I won't forget you' versus 'contentment' in where he'd looked up the flowers - but when in America, give flowers as the Americans do.]

Alright. Thank you again.

You're welcome.

[A wave goodbye, and he's off.]

[Getting flowers, from a guy, for Christmas. Well, this is a first in Kaiji's life.]

Wow. Uh, thanks man. Come on in and bring 'em in.

I love them! Thanks, Issei. I really appreciate it.

[Look, he earned an actual full-blown smile from Miss Lineface. Achievement unlocked.

---Wait, she's pretty sure she heard something confusing. She tilts her head to the side questioningly.]

What's the moon go to do with this...? [It's not like we're on it or anything---]

[ Saber doesn't expect guests at Archer's home, oh no, for this was a man who simply lacks loyal friends. So when the door bell is rung, she's wary of answering..

She does eventually while wearing her usual royal vestments and her hair pulled up, blinking at the boy. ]

Ah. Issei? Shirou never comes here, so is there another purpose for your visit?

[For Saber, one bouquet of orchids is presented. Issei smiles hopefully.]

A very early holiday present. Merry Christmas, Saber.

[Issei will happily step inside the room.]

You wouldn't happen to have a vase or anything?
