There's a small package wrapped in a length of soft cotton, tied with twine, left on Loki's balcony after a brief knock on Satinalia eve. It looks fairly unremarkable, but inside he'll find a frosted glass flask. Around the neck is a small tag with a symbol: Antivan Fire.
There's a note in English tucked in with it.
Merry Satinalia. I figure you can make fire on your own, but it's always good to have a backup just in case. - Your Secret Satinalia Spirit
Left in Loki's mailbox in a little drawstring bag: a golden pin for the front of a shirt in the shape of a thin branch with protruding leaves (approximation). It's probably copper plated gold, but it still shines very nicely. Perhaps half the coin required to purchase it came from the person who is receiving it, but who is to say for sure.
There is a card tucked alongside it. The front is blank, save for a roughly painted, warm-yellow sun.
You're always trying to make me look fancy. Thought I'd return the sentiment. Thanks for everything. Happy Satinalia. - Abby.
Loki receives, in his mail-box, a list of things that Alexandrie likes and two tickets to Le Masque Tombe, an Orlesian style two-act comedy currently showing in Hightown with Florent Vascarelle in the lead.
Left on his desk, Bastienβs Diplomacy Colleague Special: A ripe pear and a small loaf of fresh bread with a vine-leaf design scored into the crust on top.
Thereβs also a copy of the previously promised pamphlet of ridiculous odes to various wines.
On his desk, Loki will find a bottle of wine (of decent quality), accompanied by a note:
To Mister Laufeyson,
With my apologies for my conduct the first time we met.
I should like to talk with you again.
--D.M.
On his desk, Loki will find a patchwork sack - inside, a stoneware teapot and teacup, both emblazoned with bright green snakes.
Also a note on a scrap of paper:
thannk u forr yor help. cole.
Delivered to his mailbox the day before Satinalia: Antivan jewelry, feather light and crafted from a mixture of raven bone and pitch dark metal, forming the shape of a clawed outline for one hand, delicate chain linking the pieces together. It smells vaguely of lilac.
No note is attached.
Delivered in person and wrapped in paper tied off with string is a trinket: a hand carved wand in black and green-painted wood. It is useless but symbolic of their friendship and how they first connected over discussing magic. The wand is ornately carved with snakes and scrollwork in a style evocative of his attire at the fancy dress party.
