The hot pot was finished and everything set out. But Anon was still at the stove making something. Futo, curious as ever leaned in to see he was warming up a pan of some brown liquid. “Hot Chocolate. You want some?”
“I have dedicated this day to explore new things. I would enjoy it”

Like a dog awaiting its master to offer up some food, Futo watched on as Anon prepared two regular sized mugs and one tiny mug of hot chocolate for them and Dolly. With cream of course. He handed the eager taoist her mug, and she took a sip.

“Delicious!” Any other words she had were left unsaid as she sucked her drink down, only for her to scald her lips.

“Hey, enjoy it slowly. It’s still hot” Anon took a sip of his own mug.

Futo slowed her pace down, enjoying the warming taste of her drink as she took in the sights. Dolly was floating by Anon, taking little sips from her little mug. As she gazed around the shrine, basked slightly in the glow of the tree outside, a strange feeling came onto her ace. She walked around the room, closely examining the furniture, touching the walls.

“This is a perfect recreation of the Hakurei shrine, is it not?” She questioned

“It’s almost perfect, yes. Is something the matter?” Anon stepped closer to Futo, puzzled by what came over her.

“The Qi of this place is odd. It does not match the feng shui. It’s almost as there are presences in these walls, changing the flow of Qi like a rock in a river”

“Is it someone to be worried about?” Anon looked around, as if to try to pick up on the same clues.

“Worry not. They improve the flow of Qi, and protect this place. Tis strange for a place like this to have energies so positive, but like the god Saint Santa Claus watches over the children of the world to pass judgment over them, you are watched over by presences that only wish you good health and fortune” Futo raises her mug to give a toast, but finds it empty.

Before she could ask for another mug, Seiga barged in, Yoshika in tow. “Is dinner ready?”

- - -
For hermits that supposedly could live off a few bites of rice a month, they could pack away the food. Yoshika’s appetite was less surprising, although her lack of table manners was. After the food and dishes were put away, and Seiga had finished cleaning up Yoshika, Seiga clapped her hands. “Now, onto gifts!”

“But I don’t have anything for you” Anon said, feeling a little guilty despite the circumstances

“Nonsense, you gave me plenty already. In fact, you can give me more tonight when we’re all alone” Seiga chuckled to herself and looked towards Futo expectantly, who only moved away.

“I don’t get it” Yoshika said, her head tilted to the side. Seiga gave her a reassuring pat on the head before tossing a envelope on the table in front of Anon.

He opened it up and took out the card inside. “It’s a one year membership to the Seiga Service of the month club”

“Anon, that’s the gift that keeps on giving the whole year” Seiga radiated smugness more then usual.

“That it is Seiga, that it is” He put the card down on the table.

Futo pulled out a present from beneath the table. Futo had attempted to wrap her gift in suitably festive wrapping paper, although it seemed she was lacking experience in such things “I also bring gifts, but my knowledge of your tastes is very shallow, seeing as this is the first time we have properly introduced” Anon took the gift from her, and tore open the frayed and taped together paper to reveal the box underneath. Opening up the box, he found her gift.

Inside were a variety of bowls and plates and other dinnerware, all crafted from wood and carefully polished to a smooth sheen. “Oh woah, this is nice” Anon said as he took out a large serving tray and ran a finger over it, feeling how smooth it was.

“Ah, one of the things Seiga told me about was your abilities as a cook. I thought you could make use of this, is all”

“Oh, it’s great. I’ll put it to use. Thank you Futo" Anon took out of the rest of the set, examining them carefully.

Seiga huffed as she saw the scene before her. Wasn’t spending more time with her a better gift then rice bowls and plates? “Well, gifts are done but we still have plenty of time. We can have some drinks and call it a night. Maybe a fire would improve the mood. It is chilly out” A few drinks, some cuddling by the fire, and Seiga was sure to get what she wanted soon enough.

“I shall assist in making the fire!” Futo stood up and started to make her way outside.

“There’s a brazier inside the shed, I’ll go get that” Anon called out behind Futo.

“Yoshika, be a dear and get the wood for me” Seiga said as she didn’t move at all.
