Oseibo gifts

[lovethesescars]

It's near the end of the year, so Mio has selected some presents for people to convey her gratitude to various people who have done her favors over the past year. (Also, because it's the socially polite thing to do in Japan this time of year.)

Each gift has been professionally wrapped in the proper Japanese fashion, and for those who can't read kanji, the Nexus Translation field will helpfully translate the noshi (the white paper thing) to read: Year-end gift - Hongo.

For Ran: a gift set of gourmet British teas.

For Nagi: a cake.

For Daimon: a selection of authentic Kyoto sweets.

For Schuldig: a box of Godiva chocolates.

Each gift is hand-delivered to the recipient.

"It is but a small token of my thanks for your help this year." Mio bows.

"I love it. Um, I have an idea in mind for your Christmas present, if you're interested?"

[lefthertainted]

"Oh? What were you thinking?"

"I'd like to give you some cooking lessons, if you'd like?"

[lefthertainted]

Well, that was a little unexpected. Well, she would be able to save some money by learning how to cook, so it was worth a shot.

"That would be very helpful, thank you." Mio bows to Ran.

"Cool. Do you want to learn more Western style or more Japanese style stuff?"

[lefthertainted]

Hmm, tough decision. She usually ate Japanese-style bentos for lunch and Western-style food for dinner, and she would have more time in the evenings to cook...

"I think I would like to try Western-style cooking first."

"Okay. Most of the techniques are pretty similar, but the ingredients and presentation are different. When would you have time to start?"

[lefthertainted]

"On Friday I get off from work at 3pm. Would that work?" That should give plenty of time to buy ingredients and cook before dinnertime, she hoped.

"That would be lovely! Should I meet you at your house?"

[lefthertainted]

"I think that would be best."
