Oft has he heard ‘tis the season of giving and what a rare treat it was to witness this man’s generosity first hand! He hadn’t meant to coax Siegfried into venturing through the store in search of desired gifts but the dejected look upon the boys face as they passed him by simply couldn’t be ignored.
In they went to obtain a present for the youth’s mother and after bidding the lad a fond farewell Ichimokuren just so happens to notice foliage pinned above the store’s doorway. The mistletoe would’ve largely gone ignored by untrained eyes yet his were keenly aware of their surroundings even in peaceful time.
His visage splits into a coy little grin and as a way to grab Siegfried’s attention before he exits the property for good, Ichimokuren clears his throat and beckons with a finger, “If I could have a moment of your time.” Taking the much larger hand between his own and ascending the servant’s knuckles to his lips, he hovers for a several seconds, “I’m not sure if you’re aware but there is a mistletoe hanging directly above our heads. Since you saw fit to give that boy a gift for his mother I should like to gift you with something as well.”
Their connection is made with feather light brush of the lips, delicate and fleeting he draws back and offers Siegfried an almost bashful smile. “That was a kind thing of you to do. It gladdens my heart to know there are people like you out in the world.”
