Hunched over one of the tables, Heat seemed to be busy at work with something. He hadn't been aware of this whole 'christmas' and 'gift-giving' thing until the day had passed. But he didn't seem to be letting that stop him from doing, well... something. He pulled a frayed ribbon into a bow on the last package, and looked at it with a smirk, apparently proud of his own handywork. He had taken great care with that one, standing back to admire how it looked atop the others.

The gifts ranged in size and shape, and the paper that covered them was unmatching and torn, then taped together awkwardly, some of them with bits of ribbon taped on as well. But the last one was certainly the 'best' if it could even be called that... Beneath the table, there seemed to be a puddle forming, dark and thick -- as something seemed to be leaking out from them.

Heat took a step back, hands on his hips as he admired the stack of presents, feeling accomplished at the completion of his task.

[So for "Christmas". Oh that is pretty... well... sweet of Heat. Serph always knew Heat had a soft and squishy centre.

Serph nods.]

Who does each gift go to?

[He wants to know which Tribe member is receiving which gift! ...And okay maybe he wants to know what he's getting from Heat, alright? Inquiring minds want to know :> ]

[enfire]

( nooo. no dude. he's just... he had to do it because you set the bar, okay? not because he cares or anything!! )

This one is for Sera. ( gingerly, he plucks the one off of the top. the ribbons seem to be tied all around the thing, and it's probably the most dripping wet out of them all. but it's also the one he obviously put the most effort into. there's even a crooked bow on top -- well, if that's the top...

with his free hand he sort of waves at the rest -- ) There's one for everyone else. There was enough left over for the new recruits, too.

Here. ( he places sera's back down on the table again, and rummages through the pile -- producing... the smallest package of them all -- and tossing it at serph ) That's yours.

[bufudine]

[Sure, sure. Serph does have to wonder about the dripping part, though...

Well either way, Serph catches the present, giving Heat a nod in thanks. It's small, but hey, size doesn't matter!! Unwrapping now!! Serph picks at the wrapping, undoing the present with as little tearing as possible.

But what oh what is inside!?]

[enfire]

( heat is just going to.. shift his weight a little bit as he crosses his arms over here. his eyes don't really flicker over in interest until the leader reaches the last layer, revealing...

...

... a finger.
yep. that's it. but hey, it still seems to be a bit warm at least... )

[bufudine]

[...O-oh. It's a hassle to transform just to eat a finger, but can he even eat this in human form...?

......Regardless, Serph closes his hand over the finger, both hiding it from view and keeping it safe. He gives Heat a nod of approval(?)]

Thank you.

[He appreciates the gift!!]

[enfire]

( at that; his lips curl into a smirk. or is that a smile? it's hard to tell, isn't it... either way, he looks quite pleased, even if yours was one of the last minute ones... )

You'll probably get more use out of that than any hacked-sack around.

[bufudine]

[Serph doesn't correct Heat, but he nods. He doesn't have much more to say, except for...]

The others should be given their presents soon.

[Wouldn't want all the blood to go to waste, and all.]

[enfire]

Yeah, I'm getting to it. ( his gaze drops a little -- ) And. Uh. You know... thanks. ( he squirmed in his feet. follow up, he needed follow up to that!! ) For your present, too-- I mean.

[bufudine]

[See, Serph always knew Heat had a soft and squishy centre!! Well, Serph's glad Heat likes his Christmas present, and gives him a nod in acknowledgement of Heat's thanks.

Well, he'll leave Heat to it, so he turns to leave.]
