[On the first day of the new year by the Kenosian calendar, Hayame seeks out the Praesi sorceress. She has a delivery to make for the god of war in that home, as well, so... she brings both. There is a certain formality to her visit at first, not just the fact she has come dressed in her one formal dress (which Akua may recognize from a certain masquerade), the shorn short remains of her hair styled as best she could. There is ritual to the greetings she is attempting to recreate in this world- the ones she had grown up emulating and learning so that one day she might perform them. A low bow, gratitude expressed for the care in which she has been held the past year...
But eventually she softens from the rigid (though sincere) motions, in order to present what she has brought. Somewhat embarrassed, inexperienced in being in any sort of position to give actual gifts to people, she manages to explain that in her world it is customary to present new clothing on the occasion of the new year, so...
She has brought this- a crimson lace haori that resembles the fashions she is used to from her own world. Close enough, anyway. Akua had been a difficult woman to procure clothing for considering she... wore so little of it, but she thinks this much might still be to her liking. It is not restrictive, and it is see-through, so she could wear whatever she liked beneath and the light jacket over would not obscure it. As she puts it in her hands...
She manages to say that she hopes she likes it. That it would honor her if she were to wear it. And that they will be in each other's care for the next year as well.]
[ Hayame's gift is accepted with gracious thankfulness, and a gentle hand on hers. Akua will give her a promise for the new year, that they will be in each others' care, and that she will continue to support and look out for her in the year to come, as they continue to fight for their futures. ๐ฅบ ]
