[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.

Any large glass will do fine. Or a cup big enough not to fall over at the least.

[He'll dig a half gallon pitcher from a cabinet. His place is hardly organized.]

Here. Um. I don't really have much in return, though. It's pretty early for Christmas, right?

[stripping.livejournal.com]

Don't worry about it. This is just my natural sense of worry kicking in.

[genius-idiot.livejournal.com]

You think some shit's gonna go down on Christmas? Guess it wouldn't surprise me. Guess I better not plan anything big.

[stripping.livejournal.com]

Expecting kindness from this island and our captors is too much.

[genius-idiot.livejournal.com]

Yeah, that's true. Guess that last ordeal showed us it isn't always stuff on the full moon.

I don't want to get complacent, and I also don't want you to not get your flowers.

[genius-idiot.livejournal.com]

Good idea. And thanks, man. I'll make it up to you.

[stripping.livejournal.com]

If you want. It's a gift, there's no obligation.

[genius-idiot.livejournal.com]

It's the least I can do. Not like a lot of people think about me for Christmas gifts.

[stripping.livejournal.com]

I can't see why not.

[genius-idiot.livejournal.com]

I dunno. Maybe I'm just not a Christmasy guy.

So, uh. Can I ask why flowers?

[stripping.livejournal.com]

Flowers have special meanings, a language of their own. These are day lilies - standing for 'enthusiasm'. I thought they suited you.

[genius-idiot.livejournal.com]

Enthusiastic, huh? Guess I've been called worse things.

[stripping.livejournal.com]

Well, I hope not to offend.

[genius-idiot.livejournal.com]

Naw, it's cool. Thanks again, man.

[stripping.livejournal.com]

You're welcome.
