Terrence had given quite a few gifts recently. There were his going away gifts, the birthday gifts for Z, and the tattoo, for Ella. He hadn't been around to see Z's reaction to his gifts, but he doubted that his friend had been quite this excited. This reaction ranked below Ella's response to the tattoo, but definitely above the others.
Then again, the going away gifts had been bittersweet for everyone that would miss him, so it wasn't entirely a fair comparison. Still, this gift had most definitely had the desired effect.
"Of course I did," he said, smirking. As if he'd have given it to anyone else; most of the other servants bored him senseless. "As for requests - well, you get bonus points in my book if you maximize its potential to piss off the Headmistress. And keep it away from Amelia, Zach, and Ella - except maybe to entertain them."
He tilted his head, considering the younger boy. Not much younger, though, was he? Two years, at the most. "And if you're not going to use it in a suicide mission, I'd consider being your escape plan."
