Re: DID YOU ATTEND?
For a gift, there was a ridiculously expensive bottle of wine from his home, but Essek also commissioned a very pretty set of ear cuffs for her; I can't find online what I've created in my brain, so I don't have a link lol, but imagine gold, rather delicate looking, but with a lot of detail and diamonds and topazes. Nothing magical about them, other than that they will change size to fit her ears perfectly.
But he also very much wished her a happy birthday and made a lame joke about how she's going to catch up to him eventually. ;)
