[Mary's taking a simple approach to this, delivering Evangeline a cute crayon picture of the two of them with Rinku and Laetitia (she had a reference picture after all!), enjoying some time together on the beach- made up of some real sand she'd glued on.]
[Sweets are always good and so are monsters! Evangeline should really check back in with Homura more often, it feels like they haven't talked in a while.]
[ On the Solstice, a package from Reiner is delivered. It contains a sculpture of Reiner's Armored Titan molded from a deep blue stone scattered with tiny white crystals, giving the effect of a night sky. The sculpture is exacting in its detail. It contains a well-hidden compartment in the back of the neck, perfect for hiding small things.
There is also a note written in Reiner's neat Eldian script. ]
Evangeline,
There's a compartment in the back of its neck. I hope you like it. Happy Solstice.
That's just because I learned it at home, and there's lots more I don't know. And sometimes even if I don't know what something is, I get tempted to try eating it anyway, especially since I have poison immunity now... ehe.
[Her voice takes a turn for the embarrassed.]
But! You're good at it too! You're better at fighting the monsters than I am, and you can find a place to hide easily!
[...the poison thing isn't really reassuring, especially since Mecchan and Hina also like to eat her food. She's probably responsible enough to keep them away from it though.]
Well, okay, that's true... I don't know if I know a ton about understanding people, though.
[Rider's going for a slightly less serious gift this year (as if the tentacle coat hooks were serious!), providing a mug that Evangeline can use to declare her love for all things snek.
And of course, a sneaky lovebite with the delivery-]
