She is? I saw some other artsy stuff, like these cool pencils that looked like raw branches with paint on the end of them, but I wasn't sure how into it you guys'd be. And I-- I wanted, like. I wanted you to have stuff I knew you'd love, and I think I did okay with it, but-- but maybe I'll buy her more art stuff. Like a proper sketchbook, or like-- or like, something kinda crazy like a glassblowing kit, or-- or something. I wasn't sure what she'd like, so I didn't...
[ he trails off, a bit, not exactly apologetic but not really sure how to handle all this approval and affection without being kind of overly humble and vaguely defeatist about it. he takes a couple breaths to chill out and ends up laughing at the bacon thing. ]
Oh, yeah! I got Peter a twelve pack of this deodorant that smells like bacon? I got some for myself, too. It is the worst.
Breakfast food smells are never the worst. Wait, I think I -- phoah! Found it. Haha, gross, I love it.
[but Magnus turns his attention back to Odin's bashfulness]
You don't need to give us stuff. Um, I do love it all, though. Alex will too, if you end up getting her anything like this. [it's his turn to feel bashful] Um, I didn't know what I was gonna put in the treehouse, once it was done... so this all helps. It helps a lot.
[a slightly stunned silence] I didn't actually think of bookshelves. I guess stacks on the floor would have been kind of hoarder-y?
I know I don't need to, it's just-- like I said. I'm telling the people I love that I love them.
[ He's trying not to think about this whole space show thing being a government conspiracy or whatever, because, like, the last thing he needs is to dwell on the idea that maybe he's going to be permanently sacrificed in some big anti-import movement - but. He's got a chance to tell someone he cares about them, so he's taking it. ]
I'm glad I could help, and also prevent your hoarder-y ways from exacerbating themselves. You've got beds, right? Kitchen stuff? Like, a fridge? I'm sure you could get a cool fridge that looks like a deer or something. And-- wait, you're set on electricity, right? I could power the tree with magic, if you don't have it covered.
We're getting a lot of bigger stuff from my friend's dream magic... um, electricity and plumbing's gonna be his job too. None of us wanna figure out how to make a tree toilet work.
[he sounds distracted. he's looking at his neat presents, thinking about how nice of a gesture this was. how he can see home in these things, in a way he didn't really understand before]
