I've heard that this... Christmas... is some sort of gift-giving holiday?

What sort of gifts should I be trying to give?

Comments

[bonded]

Ah- yes. I should have expected so...

[talking. mouse. No, his head is still having great difficulty wrapping around this... But mice do multiply quickly, so surely this mouse must have quite a few children...]

Though I am not familiar with this festival, I would assume the rules of gift-giving would remain the same.

[Though what sort of gifts would a mouse give? Nuts? Berries? Bits of string?]

[flyingdreams]

It shouldn't be too hard, then... I should start looking for more fabric and thread, I suppose.

[bonded]

[Aha, bits of string. That must be what mice give as gifts... it seems useful enough.]

Are you planning to make something?

[flyingdreams]

I think so, yes. I can sew a few things.

[bonded]

You can? You must be quite talented then.

[flyingdreams]

Oh, no, my husband was the talented one. He was the one who taught me in the first place.

[bonded]

[A husband now too? He's learning so much about the relationships of mice...]

It sounds as though you are very blessed to have such a clever husband.

[flyingdreams]

I was, yes. Johnathan was a very clever mouse. He left me so many blessings...

[bonded]

Left-?

[Ah... He sees. He offers up a sympathetic look in apology.]

My condolences. I was not aware...

[flyingdreams]

It's alright. I wouldn't bring it up if I hadn't been comfortable with it.

Even if he's gone, I still have such fond memories of him...

[bonded]

You must be a very strong woman- [er... Mouse.] - to raise a family on your own as you have. It sounds as though the bond between you and your husband was very powerful.

[flyingdreams]

Thank you.

I'm Mrs. Brisby.

Ieyasu... Ieyasu Tokugawa is my name.

It has been a pleasure to make your acquaintance.
