Delivery to Blake
It's a medium sized package, which when opened reveals a carefully packed crate filled with a set of four stoneware tea cups of Japanese design, along with a tea pot and some other necessary pieces. The set appears to be authentic, and is packed with old Japanese newspapers.

Some packets of various Asian style teas are also packed in the box. A note reads:

We've barely gotten to know each other on a more personal level, so I am... not entirely confident how this gift will be received. I had my Great Aunt help me pick it out, and I hope you won't find it too presumptuous or... culturally incorrect in some way.

But I wanted to celebrate the fact that you're in the world, and I hope that the next year sees us sharing more of our stories, our time, and perhaps even some of this tea together.

Thank you for your part in everything that was done for me and Elsa.

- Weiss
