This is Nate, you know what to do. I'll...probably get back to you.

[ As much as Darcy might've liked to get everything out in time, Wonderland had a weird way of screwing up her plans. So, after a solid day's sleep, she starts making her rounds - dropping off gifts on each floor while using a little red wagon. In front of Nathan's door, he'll find a basket that contains:

• a blanket
• a festive mug
• a few different flavors of tea
• honey
• another mug of hot chocolate supplies with a note to just add hot milk
• a chocolate dipped stirring spoon
• ridiculous fuzzy socks
• a tiny stuffed animal
• assorted candy
• and an ornament

There's a note dangling from one of the handles that reads:

Hope Wonderland's attempts at holiday cheer didn't go too poorly for you. Here are a few supplies to help get back into the swing of things and thanks for being my Hogwart's tutor. Happy Holidays!

- Darcy ]

[Nate isn't exactly accustomed to receiving gifts, so it takes him even longer to figure out how he's going to respond to something so selflessly giving. When he does, many hours later, it comes in the form of a text:]

thanks for the stuff - the socks in particular are a real winner

[No sarcasm there, he's shuffling around his apartment in them.]

we should hang out sometime
no magic lessons

-nate

[ She honestly wasn't expecting a text in return, but it's enough to bring a smile to her face when she gets it. ]

absolutely
everyone should have crazy socks that are super warm
as for hanging out, I vote yes
lucky for us we've got a lot of options around here
so name a time and a place and I'm in :D

[Is that a smiley face at the end, there? Nate will assume it's a smiley face. He's not exactly proficient in emoting via text messages.

Or at all.]

i'll think of something and let you know soon
don't want to be too predictable

[sorryitasedyou]

[ That can be fixed. ]

makes sense
i'm all for surprises
so bring it on.
