I'll keep it in mind for next time, maybe.

[ The box is exchanged between hands and she can't help but eagerly cozy up to him to watch him open it. As much as Hilda enjoyed receiving gifts (maybe enjoyed wasn't the right word to capture it, she loved receiving them), she enjoyed giving them just as much. There's an art form to gifting that she'd like to think she's mastered. Even though gift boxes and paper were eventually tossed away, the thought that went into the presentation of a gift was just as important as the gift itself in her mind.

This gift to Sylvain is no different. When Sylvain removes the lid, swathes of tissue similar to the colour of the ribbon covers the gift, enveloping it in a perfect nest. And underneath it? Well, Sylvain probably guessed what it was before he unearths it. Either way, Hilda can't hide the absolute delight and laughter in her eyes when he's holding it in his hands. As ridiculous as the hat may look, Hilda took the time to personalize it for him. On the inside of the hat at the back is a meticulously embroidered outline of a lion's head and Sylvain's initials beneath it. ]


Well? What do you think?
