[The feed is shaking and not completely centered. Odds are, it's Airy. And, in fact, after a moment, she manages to almost frame her face.

She's in her Human form today. And looks a bit sheepish.]

I don't know how, but it completely slipped my mind. Yesterday was the anniversary of my birth. I think.

[If her math is correct, which it almost certainly is.]

I feel terrible. Were there any local rituals I was meant to observe? Did the gods expect some kind of sacrifice or fast? If so, I'll do that right away!

You think so..?

[ Chizuru's response seems half-surprised, half-glad. She did hope Ariadne would enjoy the present, after all. ]

It's kind of simple, but.. um! I just thought it'd look nice on you.

[Carefully, not allowing her palms to touch Chizuru's, Ariadne takes the comb, turning it over and over to admire from all angles.]

I'll wear it to the next ball the gods throw.

[ At that Chizuru's cheeks actually take on a slightly pink colour. ]

Thank you..! That's such an honour. [ She means it too, just honestly that glad to see one of her gifts being received that well. ]

I should get going again for now since it's getting late, but.. please enjoy your gift. If we happen to still be here by next year, I'll make sure to not be so late with giving you a birthday present.

[She curtsies.

The idea of next year is...it's a lot. But it's nice to have something to look forward to, in a way.]

Thank you.

[ It really is a lot. It's probably why she doesn't linger on it, since Chizuru doesn't really want to get lost in her thoughts about that either. Instead she gives a slight bow and a smile. ]

You're welcome. Please enjoy the gift!

[ She turns to leave. ]

See you again.

[This time, Ariadne curtsies deeply. It's not for show.

It's just the greatest form of respect she has.]
