Was it early? most likely...but Eula would be out of the city for the next few weeks, so that's why she bought the gifts for Thoma already. It was not much but she made him a new custom spear, and added some delicious candy with it. Knowing he was busy, she asked the guards at the estate to keep Thoma's weapon close and not lose it.
If they lost the gifts, she'd be VERY furious. After that was settled she left a note explaining everything, her job and even her feelings for the housekeeper, she just hoped It wouldn't push him away. Leaving that with the gifts, she kissed the back of said envelope leaving a kiss mark before leaving, she just wished she could stay to see his reaction.
His visit towards the Lawrence estate hadn't gone exactly as planned. After all, the primary person he held plans in visiting held the sort of duty that good knight remains vigil upon. There was a particularly loneliness, one that's gently balmed by the gifts directed meet his hands strictly and no one else's. Being allowed a momentary berth of time to visit, amidst one of their luxurious couches would he sit, more focused on what she offered him outside of the luxuries forged from countless years of positives and negatives.
Before anything else was the letter, how it drew not only warm thoughts, being able to easily imagine the way her voice weaves together words, but the call to duty that was once a dream of his. Which starry eyed kid in Mondstadt's borders didn't dream of becoming a knight at some point? To lead a life of fantastical wonder while being boundless in helping any and all who were genuinely in need.
"..Busy as always, heheh. Even tried to pull it all in one basket virtually. A sweet gift to go with something so elegant and fiery." He murmurs in amazement, drawing the spear from it's nearby perch in order to inspect it. This roared a sense of regal level craftsmanship, with the finest material and special orders being drawn in order to hold such an aura. By no means were these the sorts of weapons to hang on walls, Thoma and Eula both knew weaponry like this was destined to defend.
Hints of that call could just be felt as if the steel was eliciting a special song.
What charges through his body is a sublime scale of warmth. Touched by her generosity and sweetness, and moreso, inspired. His time within Inazume help ingrained a deep understanding when it comes to the warrior's path, and within this moment, he couldn't help but feel proud for Eula and what she intends to create by pushing her best foot forward.
"I'll see you when you get here, silly." ..Ah! Depending on how long it may be, there could be a small gift he leaves.
He'll just have to commandeer the kitchen for bit closer to the time she arrives back home. In the meantime, it was time to reflect his appreciation as one treat was popped into his mouth, and that newly fashioned spear would be given a test drive.
