[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.

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.]

Oh...Thank you. [There's surprise at first, before a smile grows on his face.] Rather early for this, aren't you?

[He would know. Christmas is the day Mana picked as his birthday.]

Just a little. I hope it doesn't offend.

No, it doesn't. [He looks at the flowers. Aster.] They're wonderful.
