[ WAIT DON'T GO AWAY THIS ISN'T THAT KIND OF STORY— ]

[ he unzips the bag (the very same duffel that they'd used to bring all their possessions in). his smile is sheepish as he draws out a folded up hat. ]

...also when keith was still the pilot of the red lion. heh. ]

I found a leathersmith here once we got settled [ which was literally just a couple of days ago? lance??? ] and I used my charms [ aka lance owes him a lot of free work for the next couple of weeks ] and he agreed to make you something special—
[ he pulls out another item. jfc he realizes he didn't even have time to wrap it. HE LITERALLY JUST PICKED IT UP. ]

[ your first boyfriend. hah. ]
Oh! And I got you a cupcake!
[ he digs in the bag and pulls out a box, its clear plastic window showing something... half-smushed and purple. ]
