It definitely does. I'm glad to see that you're getting into the spirit of things. Is Phoenix having a good time?

[ also he is handing over the gift properly, tah-dah! ]

Very much so. The tree’s been decorated — it shines! And I believe Captain Harlock is arranging a bit of caroling soon.

[He takes the gift, and unlike some people, has no qualms about opening it up. What’s inside!!]

Ah, caroling... that sounds like a lot of fun. I'll have to get Cerberus to carol as well.

[ inside is... a slinky!!! Congrats. ]

[He would remark on caroling, but then Sholmes unearths the slinky, and everything else leaves his mind.

He holds it in one hand, letting it stretch all the way down to his feet.]

What... [awed] ...is this?
messianic: (for as we know from dreams)

[personal profile] messianic 2022-12-08 02:36 am (UTC)(link)
[ ... oh boy. Somehow, miraculously... this ended up being the best Sholmes present of all. ]

Oh. That's... a slinky.

It's a toy.

[#blessed]

And what does it... [With a wrist flick, he urges the slinky to... slink back up, and he catches the bottom side with his other hand, the box and wrapping paper falling to the ground at his feet.] ...do?
messianic: (there’d be no match)

[personal profile] messianic 2022-12-08 04:18 pm (UTC)(link)
... Pretty much that.

Oh, you should definitely try to put it on top of the stairs though. Like one end at the top and the other on the next stair.

[ it will blow his mind, Minato's pretty sure. ]

[Oh, the look on his face belies that he's already considering the consequences of doing so.]

And let... gravity do the rest?
messianic: (Not of detention is Fruition —)

[personal profile] messianic 2022-12-09 04:23 am (UTC)(link)
[ nods extremely solemnly. ]

And let gravity do the rest. It's pretty enjoyable, honestly.

Mr Minato! You are a genius!

[Leans in with intensity, the slinky jiggling in his hands.]

I need to test this post-haste. Thank you for the gift, et cetera, et cetera. I will call upon you when I am ready to give you mine!

[But right now. SLINKY.]

But for now, the siren call of experimentation lures me to the nearest set of stairs.

[ Minato just waves Sholmes off amusedly. This... this is so good. He's so glad it ended up being a good gift. ]

Mm, I'm glad you can enjoy it. Merry Christmas, Sholmes-san. Talk to you later.



[ ... and with that, Sholmes is probably already gone, so Minato will just stroll his way back to the dorm too. ]
