Sebastian, of course, will get Cecil a gift! It's a vial of his own blood (you know, for reasons), and there's a box of a rather expensive fabric of clothing.
Ilseong also got wind of Cecil's birthday and has gotten him a ticket to one of those popular, fancy, large plays! He can bring a PLUS ONE. Also, some limited edition ribbons he found in the market. Maybe Cecil can use it at work!
Recognizing that particular shade of red, Cecil kisses the glass before teleporting to a certain cabinet where he stores his other vials of questionable liquids. The container Sebastian leaves him is unique enough that it doesn't have to be labeled before storage.
Coming back to his gifts, the marquis holds up the outfit first, surveying with a tailor's critical eye before deeming it outstanding in turns of stitching. Now, where to wear this...?
Oh, Ilseong's ticket would come in handy. But who to invite? Ilseong, who bought him the tickets? Sebastian, who prepared the outfit? Or his current petite amie, the vivacious Vivi at work? Of course, there was also Eiden who'd paid in advance with his body, his various little crushes around the island, and a host of other more unwilling subjects who would be funny to bring along just for discomfort's sake.
Setting down the outfit, Cecil stops to think.
