[ Happy holidays, Somnus! On Christmas morning, Somnus will find a wooden box waiting on the doorstep to his treehouse. The box is made of pine and is tied neatly with a linen ribbon and sprig of holly. When Somnus opens the box, he will find a letter placed on top of a gift. (If Somnus is not presently living anywhere, the gift will be waiting at the smithy he and Alphen use.)
Written in Zelda's picturesque cursive handwriting, the letter reads as follows: ]
Dearest Sir Knight,
Warm tidings to you during this holy season.
It is customary in my kingdom to present gifts to one's friends and family in honor of our patron goddess. As She blessed us with gifts of light and love, even in the darkest days, so too do we share our blessings with our loved ones.
As we celebrate this season away from our families and homelands, that is all the more reason to treasure the friendships we forge in Songerein. I hope you will accept this gift.
May the Goddess smile upon you, Zelda
[ Inside the box is a linen scarf, hand sewn by Zelda. It is a rich purple color, embroidered at both ends with cream-colored thread in an elegant iris motif. When one's aquaintence is a suit of armor given life, it's difficult to think of a gift that they will enjoy. But perhaps a nice mantle will help soften Somnus's intimidating ten-foot fully-armored stature. ]
[ She will receive the following delivery in return: ]
Princess Zelda,
The solstice moon blesses all. Carried by the Light, the Glacian delivers Her tidings.
Somnus Lucis Caelum
[ In a package attached to the letter, Zelda will find this set of handcrafted earrings. His earlier adventures into the clifflands and caverns had been fruitful enough to find ore and precious stones. Crafting the bounty into something else had been a leisurely task. ]
[ It takes Zelda a little while to realize who sent her this beautiful gift. Surely she would remember someone who introduced themselves with such a regal-sounding name. Only after reading the letter several times does she recognize this particular manner of speech.
She wasn't entirely sure if Somnus would accept her gift to him. It's hard to get a read on whether or not a looming suit of armor considers you a friend or an annoyance. So receiving a gift in return makes her feel a bit better about herself. ]
