Daedalus felt depressed, he had gotten a kitten as one of his presents and it was immediately taken by his daughter. He hadn't even noticed before, but he was truly a cat person. Cats where truly the pinnacle of all beings.
After petting and playing with the kitten for who knows how long, Rose finally stopped and said "Sorry, he was just too cute." Daedalus could only sigh in agreement with her at this. Then Daedalus said "I understand, but now we need to move on to Reginn's presents."
Reginn smiled and began to go through and open each present. From Rose he got an alchemy set making him smile happily. Richard gave him a chemistry set and a book on science in general. Andromeda gave him a large number of ingredients which where stored in a spatial ring.
Eventually he got to the gift from Daedalus and opened it to reveal the belt that Daedalus had made previously. Reginn became curios as he had quickly recognised the enormous number of runes carved into the wood and leather. However before he could ask Daedalus said "It is a belt enchanted in a way to give you the best possible defense I could make." Reginn then smiled brightly and put it on without a second word.
Seeing as Reginn had finished opening his presents Daedalus gestured to Rose to start opening hers. Rose complied with Daedalus and began to open her owns. The first one she grabbed was from Reginn and it was a simple but affectionate blanket.
After opening the one from Reginn she gave him a hug while saying thank you to him. Then she began to open the one from Daedalus. When she saw what it was, Rose couldn't help but feel awed by it. She was honestly rather shocked by the level of detail and so gave Daedalus a warm hug.
A while later she got to Andromeda's present and slowly opened it while trying to guess what it was. When she did open it she was happy to find that Andromeda had gotten her a book on alchemy as well as a few ingredients. Rose had been stuck with a specific potion recipe and couldn't seem to get it right so what Andromeda got her was perfect for that.
Finally after going through every other present Rose got to the on from Richard. As she began to open Daedalus could see Richard starting to wriggle in his seat with anticipation. Daedalus could only chuckle in his mind until he saw the gift.
Everyone was a little surprised at the gift while Rose was blushing furiously. It was a little heart shaped pendant. That is when Daedalus realised it wasn't from anticipation but embarrassment that Richard was wriggling about. Andromeda then burst into laughter as Reginn glared at Richard.
Rose then thanked Richard with a quiet and shy look on her face. That was when Daedalus spoke up saying "Richard why don't you start opening your presents?"
I hope you enjoyed thanks for reading this chapter!!!
After hearing Daedalus everyone quietened down and stared at Richard quietly. Richard just nodded and started unwrapping his presents.
The first present he grabbed and started unwrapping was from Reginn. Reginn had gotten him an enchanted gauntlet. This was likely because Richard had decided to use his fists rather than any other weapon.
The second present he opened was from Andromeda. It was a set of potions centered around helping to strengthen the body and focused heavily on the arms and fists. This was because she knew that Richard was trying to follow the path of the fist.
Finally Richard moved onto the gift from Rose. Daedalus had decided that he would get him a gift later so that it would be only from Rose. Richard looked filled with anticipation when he got to this gift while Rose did the same as Richard earlier.
As he finished unwrapping the present Richard was beyond happy to see the dragon scale scarf. He had long known about the traditions around the giving of a scarf made with your own scales. This was mainly because rose had mentioned it several times while they talked about traditions in different cultures.
As everyone else saw the scarf the entire room seemed to stop. Andromeda looked at Daedalus as if saying 'What did you do?'. Reginn started to glare murderously at Richard. All this while Rose blushed a deeper crimson than blood.
Before anything else could get out of hand Daedalus spoke "Okay, okay calm down."
Daedalus then looked at Andromeda and said quietly "I'll tell you later."
Andromeda could only sigh. Meanwhile Reginn was still glaring at Richard, though it was slowly dying down in intensity. Rose who was still blushing noticed that Reginn was still glaring at Richard and smacked him in the head causing him to say "What was that for!?" Rose just huffed in annoyance before turning her head away.
Daedalus who had watched the whole thing was just chuckling at there antics with Andromeda.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
After a long while of trying to calm everyone down Daedalus got everyone to go to the dining hall. While they did this Daedalus finally got to hold the arrogant kitten. At first it wouldn't even let him hold it however eventually Daedalus got it to accept him.
After a while Daedalus decided to name it Nox which to his knowledge meant darkness. As he decided the name Daedalus told everyone else that the kitten was called Nox. Rose, again, got the urge to cuddle the kitten and so stole him from Daedalus once more causing him to feel depressed.
Andromeda just pat his shoulder while shaking her head. This just caused Daedalus to feel more depressed.
As Rose took Nox however instead of being the supremely arrogant kitten he was before he became incredibly docile. Daedalus who saw this could only sigh sadly once more.
Eventually they reached the dining hall only to be greeted by the magnificent sight of a few tens of dishes filled to the brim with delicious holiday food.
So I got a cat recently, he's called Nox. I love him so much I had to add him to my book.
I hope you enjoyed thanks for reading this chapter!!!
