Forty-Ninth Sunshine [Video Post]

[hyuugahime]

[Hinata is seen leaving the house she lives in. She's carrying a big bag and has put a scarf around her neck and some gloves that have been patched up on her hands.

It is only her second Christmas, so she was a little late making her presents, and is now a little late distributing them, but here she comes now.]


Presents List
Naruto - A pressed orange flower, and his father's ramen recipe that she kept afte he left.
Raven - A small notebook made from scrap paper she found, with pressed flowers and leaves and their names in Japanese.
Hope - A notebook made from the prettiest scrap paper she could find, with some pressed flowers glued to thecover.
Bartimeus - A single, pressed flower. The most exotic she could find here.
Kyoko, Mami and Yuma each get a Starcatcher (small candle holder).
Usagi and Rei also get a Starcatcher.

For everyone else that she is friendly with or has spoken to and likes (even if they're not particularly warm towards her - Kagura, that means you.), you get a small pillow made from scrap fabric and the wool from the rainbow sheep. Feel free to mention your character getting one if you think it Ic Hinata would give one to them basedon past interactions.

[Bartimaeus is hanging out as a gargoyle on top of a building as is his wont, when he spies Hinata walking about. With a flap of his great stone wings, he glides down to her, settling in the snow much more lightly than you would expect.]

Hello.

[Offline] When she returns home and assuming they'd both wait until today to exchange gifts

Okaerinasai, Hinata. [Raven is waiting for her in the kitchen. She's made some tea and starts pouring it into the mugs as she walks in. Then Raven picks up a package wrapped in brown paper with a ribbon on it and hands it to Hinata.] Merry Christmas. [In a the package is a winter coat with a fur lining. Rei sewed the lining of the coat for Raven a while ago in exchange for some toys for her cats.]

[Over the weeks, she's gotten used to the way what she would call his 'chakra' feels. So, she only gives a small start before smiling at him.]

Bartimeus-kun! Hi.

I-I have a present for you.

[Offline]

[hyuugahime]

Tadaima.

[Hinata smiles as she takes in the familiar scene in the kitchen, then her eyes widen at the big package.]

R-Raven-san, what ... what is this?

[imakefootnotes.livejournal.com]

A present? [what is this present-thing?]

[buntails.livejournal.com]

Thanks, Hinata-chan! I have something for you, too!

Well since it kinda looks like a gift and I just said 'Merry Christmas', I'd say it's likely to be a Christmas present.

ALL THE ASSUMPTIONS

[It's a surprise to see Hinata on the other side of the door when he hears someone knock, but still he can't help but smile.]

Ooooi, Hinata-chan! What're you doin' here?

[lcied]

[Hope's on his way home when he spots her, blinking in surprise.]

Hinata?

[hyuugahime]

Hm! For Christmas. I-It's ... I think it's something some people celebrate around this time of the year and they give presents to their friends. Just a second ...

[She rummages in the bag and takes out a small, paper-wrapped thing.]

Here.

[hyuugahime]

I-I know, but ...

I-It's beautiful. Thank you.

[She does look a little embarrassed to be handing her own small package after that, though.]

[hyuugahime]

Thank you, Usagi-san. D-Do you want to come to the house?

THAT'S FINE, HUN!

[hyuugahime]

I-I came to bring you your Christmas present, Naruto-kun.

[Offline]

[hyuugahime]

Hope-kun!

I have a present for you.

[Bartimaeus looks very surprised and he accepts the gift, touched]

I have never ... [He pauses and looks around. Nothing strikes him as gift-worthy at the glance.]

Then my gift to you will be a wish.

offline;

[hyuugahime]

A wish? W-What do you mean, Bartimeus-kun?

offline;

[imakefootnotes.livejournal.com]

What do you wish for? My power is not absolute but I can fulfil most requests.

offline;

[hyuugahime]

[She looks surprised, then hopeful, then a little sad.]

The things I wish, I-I should attain them through my own merit, Bartimeus-kun. That's ... very sweet of you, though.

B-But if I could ... I-I'd just wish for you to be happy.

[imakefootnotes.livejournal.com]

That, I am afraid, depends on someone else. [He doesn't look at her when he says it, embarrassed. Stupid Nat.]

When you know what you want, you tell me.

offline;

[hyuugahime]

I-In that case, I'll think about it carefully.

[Because, she is, after all, well-behaved, and she feels touched that he'd want to reciprocate.]

And in the meantime, I hope you enjoy your present. I-It's nothing much, but ...

[But she did put a lot of herself in it. Pressing flowers is her favorite hobby, and she sorts of feels a kinship towards him, even though he is not human and from a world very removed from hers.]

offline;

[imakefootnotes.livejournal.com]

I will put it on my wall. [And that means a lot, he has nothing up in his room that isn't basic. He doesn't even use the bed but he sees no point in removing it.]

[buntails.livejournal.com]

Sure! I'll bring it over with me. When should we meet?

[Offline]

[lcied]

A-and you've gone all the way here to...--

[There's a bright smile.]

Um... it's convenient, actually, because I've got one for you, too.

[And he's got in his bag, even. Great timing.]

[thelonegenin]

... Is this that thing everyone's goin' on about?

Uh-- You uhm, got me a present...

offline;

[hyuugahime]

I-I'm not really sure what the flower is, b-but it made me think of you.

... This is a new form, isn't it?
