[ The town is filthy with Starlight decorations, now covered in a layer of snow, but given that there is no such thing where Ardyn is from, perhaps he didn’t put two and two together. X’rhun can’t help but smile, mollified by the fact that he’s managed to somehow surprise Ardyn after all, in spite of his meddling.

X’rhun does up his coat again, somehow not finding the cold quite as bothersome while he watches Ardyn tear the paper away from the little box. Lifting the lid will reveal a flash of familiar blue-green, a swirling, subtle pattern not unlike ocean waves. ]

Lucky for you, I am well acquainted with the master of the Weaver’s Guild in Ul’dah. He assured me naught but the best work.

[ The scarf is not a perfect replica of the one X’rhun had gifted Ardyn before, though it is close. When passing his commission onto the guildmaster, X’rhun thought to combine the gifts he’d given Ardyn on El Nysa into one. So, there is a flash of gold in the weave, the result of small, shining threads worked into the garment that glimmer like stars caught in the waves. ]

I hope you don’t think it cheating that I’ve given you the same thing twice now. And you know you needn't get me anything. I don't mind.
