It was, in theory, if you had the means of giving.

[ Is is possibly more appropriate, but Zoya's uncertain of how to truly answer. Her gift-giving is sporadic and often when she truly means it. (We're all surprised by this.) ]

My country was at war before I was born. It was hard to give when you had so little.

[He can relate, sort of - Wil would always give him things but Wesley never had the ability to give much back; he wrote, he drew, he offered up whatever he could in return but he did always enjoy the idea of coming together to celebrate something. To celebrate each other.]

Would you like to take up the practice with me? Give it a try, or... whatever.

[ She's thankful they're not face to face. He'd make fun of her for smiling. ]

If it'd make you happy.

[ Don't make a big deal about her saying that! ]

I wouldn't want you to show me up. That'd be embarrassing.

[boneblood]

Try not to show me up too much, then. Out of fairness.

I propose we give each other one or two items. Something personal and something practical.

[... x2]

And something fun, if we come across it.

[erosive]

That sounds like three items, Vasya.

[ She chuckles—thought chuckles?—at that. ]

Challenge accepted. Prepare to be shown up a little bit. Your embarrassment can be one of your gifts to me.

[ See? Zoya can be nice!





Can this be one of her gifts? ]

[boneblood]

I look forward to seeing your best attempt, Zo.

[He may even try to find some paper to wrap these in!!]
