You were testing it? How come? I thought you didn't do magic.

Where do you want me to leave them this time?

[denyamenti]

I said it was often abused. I'm not in the habit of forming opinions without a basis of experience.

Same place.

[guiltapalooza]

Oh! Well, I'd demonstrate for you but I'm not sure how you'd stay anonymous then.

Okay. It'll have to be tomorrow cause I need some time to get it all together.

That's fine. Thank you.

[ He is not, after all, devoid of every manner. When she drops them off, there will be a small box with a scrap of paper bearing her name waiting for her and inside will be a metal star with a ring through it. Though it looks like jewelry at first, it's actually a fairly complicated puzzle, the aim to remove the ring from between the two halves of the star, each spinning on its own axis. ]

[She's never been a huge puzzle person, so it takes her a while to figure out that it isn't jewelry. She's surprised and happy with the gift regardless, just because Shen is so difficult to read in text, she's never sure how he actually feels about talking to her. Maybe he just really likes warm socks and she's the only dealer around. She's not sure she could blame him.]

Oh wow, you didn't have to get me something! Thank you!! This is neat. Is it a puzzle? I've never done something like this before.

[ Her assessment isn't entirely inaccurate; she IS the only place he can get magically warmed socks and if for no other reason, that will (probably) keep her in his good graces at least until spring. ]

Yes, it is a puzzle. The aim is to remove the hoop from the center. There are a few ways to do it and the shortest takes only six moves.

Let me know how it goes.

[guiltapalooza]

Six moves? Oh boy. Better get practicing.

Okay! I'll let you know. Stay warm!
