Anotsu Kagehisa: Event: Gift - Dora-chan
Anotsu isn’t given to reminiscing. Not much, at any rate. Time, history, his history... He shrugs without thinking. A river feeding an ocean feeding the clouds feeding the rain.
Last winter wasn’t good. He’d been sick, he remembers, and instinctively tucks deeper into the plush, fur-lined bomber jacket. This year he feels better. Stronger.
Had anybody asked him, last year, to give a gift, he would have got up and walked away. Now there’s a small bundle wedged under his arm. He does not pretend that he’s good with children, no. Magatsu was, he thinks, pushing against the door with his shoulder.
It’s warm in here. He does not care for the spilt beer smell, but if Xellos-san is around there‘s a good chance of green tea and sake.
He looks up, pursing his lips. "I have something for Dora-chan," he mumbles. And prays to all gods great and small and very small that she’s already in bed. It would help him save face in case she didn’t like his gift.
