Lucius greets him with a curt nod of her head, arms behind her back. And without delay, she presents a gift - a creepy, taxidermy Fox - that was no doubt cursed- with a cute red ribbon wrapped around its neck ( but even that couldn’t cover for the sheer creepiness that it is - do you see how it’s eyes pop out of its head in an eternal, terrified gaze? ) Her face straight, she holds out the gift, waiting for his reaction. ( 1 )
is this. . .for him? holy shit. sebastian’s quite sure he’s never seen something so viscerally horrifying in his entire life- and yes, he is including that garbodor burst he’d fought in a tournament a while back. it takes a moment, but he finally tears his eyes away from that thing in her hands, flashes lucius his most charming smile. but he still doesn’t take the gift, not yet. god, he doesn’t want to touch it.
❛ this is the most. . .interesting valentine’s gift i’ve ever gotten, ❜ he remarks with a light laugh, ❛ thank you for thinking of me, lucius. i’m flattered. ❜ there’s a slight hesitance before he reaches out and takes the thing, still not looking directly at it as he tucks it under his arm, terrifying expression facing away from him.
❛ hey, you should let me take you out today! ❜ always the coquette, never passing up the chance for a date. ❛ consider it thanks for the gift- we’ll go somewhere nice, yeah? ❜ maybe he can find a way to get rid of it without offending her.
