Your carrier lovingly hacks up a small package that would fit in your hand, as well as a handwritten letter with some sort of armored animal drawn in the corner...
Dear Friend,
We may not know each other very well yet, or maybe at all! I've only seen one battle here, but the amount of bravery and care that people have shown for one another both on and off of the battlefield lets me know I'm part of something special. People have lost their homes and loved ones, and while we can't bring those back, I know that there are people here to believe in. And I'm very lucky to get to fight alongside them.
It's not much, but I hope you enjoy a few snacks that I've made! A full tummy always makes me feel better. Maybe we can share a snack together in person sometimes soon.
Sincerely,
Orihime Inoue & Kou-kun 井上織姫とコウくん
The package is wrapped in pink and blue paper. When unwrapped, your character will find three cute little animal-themed pastries! (You're welcome to decide which three.) They have a sweet bread outer layer and some curious fillings...
Pink Bunny is hopping and happy to see you! It is filled with a sweet carrot cream. Purrfect Kitty is very pleased and ready to be eaten! It is filled with some sort of chopped meat, reminiscent of a BBQ Pork bun. Sleeping Froggy knows it's delicious. It's filled with a MYSTERY FLAVOR...which is either a sour green apple or...seaweed? Friendly Puppy isn't supposed to have chocolate, but it's filled with it anyway. Don't tell anyone! Cute Chicky is filled with a egg-flavored cream. Yeah, that one actually isn't surprising, although maybe a little morbid when you think about it.
[This package you will receive doesn't come by Carrier. Rather, Vietnam has given strict instructions that this will be treated like every large package, and will be delivered like so. After all, it is one! A letter, and a little box. Wonder what it is? And when do you receive it? Any time between the September 6th to the 15th. And in the case of the newer Heroes, it comes sometime on the 8th or after (hint hint).]
COMRADE,
No matter our opinions of our situation or this place, we are all the same, brought here from different places. Still, we all have each other. Whatever fate has in store, we will chose. I suppose what cane be important here now are the bonds we create.
To celebrate that let me share a custom. In my world, sometime in the Autumn, is the Mid-Autumn Festival, known to me as Tết Trung Thu. It is said that during this time, the moon will be so round and will shine its brightest. To appreciate the moon, one can ask for blessings from the gods. You can give thanks for the harvest or harmonious unions. You can pray for prosperity and good fortune. But also, it is a time to spend together.
Each year will it would be celebrated on a different day. In the year I left, 2016, it should fall on September 15th. I believe the equivalent date here is Sylvant 15th. So please take this chance to relax. I have included one free pass to a two night stay at the inn I manage, Dragon's Flight and Phoenix Dance, located on Gisela. On these islands, you will be able to see the sky, so very close. I have also included a mooncake of lotus filling. As per custom, you share your mooncake with family and friends to signify unity. I hope it is to your tastes.
[Felicia eagerly opened the package and letter she had received, touched that anyone would even be sending her something-- and doubly so when she realized it was Corrin who had sent her the lovely little headband. She promptly set it upon her head, regardless of her outfit that day, and set forth writing a reply to one of her nearest and dearest friends.]
My Dear Lord Corrin,
Thank you so much for the headband that you sent-- it's lovely. I'll find every excuse I can to wear it, because it's a precious gift from a precious friend. I'm so grateful for all of your help, and even now just knowing that you're here is enough to help me be comfortable enough to sleep with some kind strangers at night.
It has been strange adjusting to this country, but I think everything is working out okay. My room mates are all nice people. The only problem is that I am not entirely sure what to do with all of this time I now have. There are people here who already take care of our needs, but it's strange to not be running around the castle myself to get everything done.
I know it's probably for the best with how everything is here, but I do miss bringing you your tea and cleaning your room. Maybe there will be something else that I can find, but it won't be nearly the same as serving you!
Thank you for everything. For helping me learn about this city, and for being my friend. I know you don't want to be repaid, but I still wish there was something I could do for you in return.
It's difficult for me to write something like this, but I wanted to thank you for what you did in the forest. I was drowning then; or at least, I thought I was. I've drowned before, and it haunts me every day. In my sleep, in my consciousness. Every time.
But you helped me, even though I was a stranger to you. Not many people in London would do that. Especially to somebody like me, or somebody in my family. It may not seem like a big deal to you, but it is to me.
I'm not very good at saying thank you, but I got you something. Maybe it might look good on you.
Now that you're almost done reading this, please forget everything you read and throw this letter away.
Unfortunately, I'm not able to forget about this kind letter or this lovely headband like you requested. I can't forget about you either-- that forest was so dark and unnerving that it's a disservice to forget the people I met there.
Yourself included.
Let's meet again now that everyone is back in the city. I feel like our first meeting didn't do either of us justice in each other's eyes, and I'd like to get to know you better. Finding friends in a strange land is better than finding strangers, and I do hope to count you among my friends one day.
[ leo doesn't send a response back (HOW COLD), but he gets the message. he's still grateful for felicia's kindness, too. hopefully he can return the favour in a grander way in the future! ]
[They had both learned quite a bit about eachother during that venture in the forest, and Felicia was glad that it had been none other than Takumi who had come to her assistance when she had been caught in that nightmarish trap. The package of sweets, however, was unexpected-- and Felicia was pleasantly surprised to find that the pastries inside resembled something closer to what she would find in Nohr than Hoshido.
Truly, he was a man of understanding.
A few days later, Takumi would find a small package delivered to him containing a batch of meticulously made cookies. There was no note attached, besides a small slip of paper with a quickly sketched heart on it.
Hopefully Takumi would understand her gratitude...and Felicia was so glad that he wouldn't see the bandages on her hands and fingers from this culinary venture.]

[ And together with it is a pretty little head band he found that made him think of her. Perhaps she can wear it one day? ]
Oh my gosh! Excuse the lack of fancy coding!
