Dear Emily,
It seems things never quite end for us survivors, doesn't it?
Despite it, I'm glad to have you here with us, your company has always a way of putting us at ease.
I hope you'll join us for dinner! The ramen shop is quite warm and filling, the four of us certainly should get together.
It isn't much, but I hope this will keep you warm during the colder weather.
Merry Christmas, may the Gods continue to smile upon you and keep you safe.
Sincerely,
Eli Clark.
[ Inside the package, Emily will find a light blue shawl that is large enough to wrap around her shoulders and cover most of her upper torso. Something to provide a little extra comfort against the chill! ]

[it's beautiful, and she'll take good care of it - it's quite thoughtful of him, especially in this strange place.
therefore, a message will come through to him later.]
Eli,
I can't understate my gratitude for your generosity. Wherever did you find something so lovely?
To be honest, I'd actually forgotten that we were already at Christmas. I guess that's the problem with day and night blurring their lines here. That said, I would be delighted to join you, to celebrate as best we can.
Merry Christmas.
Emily

[ The kimonos were elegant, the fabrics neatly folded and displayed, the sheen of silk reflecting beneath the light. Alex was in awe of it all, not having seen such fine clothes up close before. Was there really something wrong with the shop, she wondered as she reached out to touch one of the piles cloth. But just before her fingers can graze it, the pile flings up towards her face, giggles filling the air as all of the cloth falls down onto her and the floor. ]
Ah...so that’s what’s going on.
Ah...so that’s what’s going on.
Mischief and bad behavior.
[Emily's voice isn't raised, merely resigned as she bends to help collect back up the fabric. it's gorgeous - the silk feels almost too fine for her - and it hardly belongs on the floor of the shop. still, she'll flash Alex a smile.]
What do you know about handling such things?

[ Alex returns the smile, albeit a bit shyly as she peeks from behind the curtain of silk. ]
I’m not sure if it’s the same with spirits...but usually when children behave this way...
[ There was only the proper way to go about it. ]
They need to be taught a lesson, don’t they?

When and where should I meet the patient? No need to disguise it as a favor.
No patient yet, need help with somethin' preventative.
What kind of preventative?
[can youkai even get colds? it is that season...]
[can youkai even get colds? it is that season...]
Was tryin' to explain to a couple youkai about how human bodies work.
They can't just stuff us full'a booze and food.
Weren't gonna listen to me at Farm mama's bonfire though.
Thought maybe somebody with some authority on it could take a stab.

I can make an announcement, with an emphasis that what's good for the host is good for the youkai. But I can't promise they'll listen.
Yeah, I know.
Caught two of 'em spikin' their kid hosts with booze now.
It's not good for 'em.
And ya saw what Chijoku did t'me the other night.
Sorry if I was a prick?

Not at all. You talked, mostly. It seemed you just needed someone to listen, which is easy enough to do.
When you didn't end up calling, I assumed the hangover wasn't that bad.

It didn't kill me anyway.
Hopin' to keep it that way.

If it happens again, call. I won't demand repayment for simply curing a hangover.
Don't tell anyone else, though.

Cure?
Figured ya just had some aspirin.
An' I don't do charity.

Fine, then I'll have you help me with whatever hassle I'm currently dealing with. But yes, there's a cure.
I do. I can't create anything out of whole cloth, but I can tailor fit to some degree.
[always helps to know how to fix up tears and such in clothing to make it last longer. and cloth is easier to handle than a body.]
What's the matter?

I can do that, but may I ask why? Are they not fitting correctly?

Perfectly fine. I'll track down my sewing supplies.
[and make sure the place is perfectly tidy if someone's going to see it. old habits, you know.]

Thank you.
[ that said, it won't take him long to go from his apartment to emily's. he's knocking on her door in record time, even though experience tells him she probably left it unlocked. but still.
he waits outside just in case, holding a small bundle of clothes in one hand. ]
