[Let's pretend this arrived only a few days after Espio's arrival, and not just now because some people have kind of fallen behind and hiatused.

But regardless of that, there will be a package that arrives on Espio's doorstep, wrapped in simple paper. Inside of it are a pair of knit mittens, a scarf, and a hat, as well as a note.]

[By now Xanthous has learned there's basically nobody in the Meadous who knows how to just accept a practical gift. Why is everyone this way, he will never know.]

[Well, this is clearly a troll. A troll, a total stranger, and an actually thoughtful gift even if Espio doesn't see it as particularly useful. The grumpy note is kind of funny, too.

Espio can't exactly not respond, but he has to admit that the pre-emptive complaints nail his complaints exactly.]

Thanks for the welcome gift. I could complain about getting undeserved gifts for no reason, but it sounds like you had enough of that.

I am not looking forward to snow.
