[Should Riley look around Hestia's Place, she will see a box with her name on it. When she looks inside, she'll find a pink sweater covered in glitter!

There will be a note that reads "Thanks for being my friend! Also, I flew to someone's house the other day. I can't say I didn't warn you about not doing stunts."]

[ Well, Riley got so distracted about lecturing about proper stunt practice that she forgot to ask why Mabel needed to know where she lived.
And now she knows!! Well!!!

There's a soft, long moment where she thinks about it, a kid thanking her for being her friend. It's... Riley doesn't quite know what to make of it.

So she just, you know, shoots off a message- ]

Did you handmake that sweater for me? Thanks so much, but you really didn't have to! If you need compensation for the materials, I can do my best to provide them. Or if there's something else you'd prefer?

But I want to, you're my friend and I figured it would be a good way to spread the holiday cheer!

And you don't have to! I already got more than enough compensation on my end! So I'm good!

Are you sure? I know at that age a little money can seem like a lot, but handmaking clothes is an incredibly valuable and lucrative talent! You should never undersell what you're worth, because the moment you do other people believe they can walk all over you.

Yeah, I'm sure! Honestly, I'm just glad you were willing to help me out!

That's really all I can ask for.

But I never even knitted something for you. The thought's really enough?

Yeah, really!

But if you really want to get me something, anything is fine! I'm not a picky girl!

Unfortunately I'm kind of broke.

Give me a week or so, though. It might not be much, but I'll have something to pay you back with.
For the record, you live with your brother and your uncle, right? Or was it grunkle? What is a grunkle?

Take your time! I'm in no hurry to scream out "I WANT MY PRESENTS NOW!" or something!

And you got that right! It's just my brother and I mashing great and uncle together to make Grunkle! Pretty creative if I say so myself!

Oh, I understand now. That IS very creative.

I'll warn you, I can't really provide anything groundbreaking. Trying to find a job is a little difficult in a completely new city. But if all goes as planned, you should expect a pre-Christmas delivery.

Wait, do you celebrate Christmas? A holiday delivery, I guess?

Like I said, take your time! If you need any help finding a job, let me know! I'm sure good ol' Mabel will help you find something around here!

And yup, I do! Both Christmas and kind of Hanukkiah too. Not so much the latter but I try to make it work.

I should be able to find a job on my own, but thank you.

[ Maybe...asking for help with getting a job from a 13-year-old.....is where Riley draws the line. ]

Okay, that's good to know. I just wanted to make sure I wasn't assuming too much. Who knows what other winter holidays other people could even have, in a place like this.

If you say so. Just know the offer is always there!

[Just saying!]

Nah, it's a good thing to ask! I know there's always Kwanzaa and something about a winter solstice! Not sure what people do with that but it's something!

I'll keep it in mind.

[ No!! Her pride!!! ]

Exactly! It's important to know. In this case, it means I know how to address these. Do you all live in the free apartments? So I know where to deliver it to.

Yup, I live over here!

[She said before giving out her address!]

And there! I look forward to seeing what you got me, I'm sure it'll be great!

[ True to what she promised, around midday on the 21st, Mabel will find her own special package! It's a cookie tin, tied with an orange ribbon, full of homemade gingersnaps — a lot of them.

The attached note reads: "I hope these are to your tastes, but if they aren't I can bake you a special batch of your favorites. ♡ Share with your brother and Grunkle! ~Riley" ]
