Mondatta wavered once he was hit, and stared at the gift he had just received from the strange parade that quickly moved on. [b][color=gray]"How peculiar...I do believe it is not December yet."[/color][/b] He opened the box. Inside was a box of tea, and one of Mondatta's eyelights turned crooked, as if he lifted an eyebrow. [b][color=gray]"It's another gift...So they still intend for us to bond."[/color][/b] Mondatta chuckled. [b][color=gray]"Well, if that's the case, then I won't mind at all. But who should I give this to..."[/color][/b] He looked around at the other people who received their gifts, and decided on the person he wanted to talk to: Marianne.
[b][color=gray]"Greetings Miss Roche. I believe I haven't introduced myself yet. My name is Tekhartha Mondatta, the Infinite Monk. Would you like to have a cup of some herbal tea? I believe you would be interested as the Infinite Herbalist?"[/color][/b]

Mary stumbled and fell over from the impact, exposing herself in an embarrassing fashion to the posse of bearded bear and snickering skanks. [color=pink]"Ow! Hey, that wasn't nice!"[/color] Once she rose up and saw the sleigh, she had a surprised expression. [color=pink]"What's with the costumes? Don't you have any shame?"[/color] 
Once they were out of earshot however, she quietly muttered with a pout: [color=pink]"Well, I wish I got to have one, too...I'm sure I could pull it off better than those bumpy tincans..."[/color] She sighed. [color=pink]"Anyway, what did they get me this time? If it's another bottle of ale I swear I'll-"[/color]  She was about to say, but the black suitcase quickly made her quiet. [color=pink]"D-Does this hold what I think it does?"[/color] She slowly opened it, and her tensed face turned slack from disappointment. [color=pink]"Oh it's a...podium."[/color] She gazed at it for a while as her brains calculated the correct answer. [color=pink]"Hey, I bet I know who would like this!"[/color] She bounced right over to the man. [color=pink]"Cyyriooo! I got you a present! Guess what it is!"[/color] She held a closed suitcase before him, and then opened it. [color=pink]"Tadaa! It's a podium, for when you make those inspiring speeches of yours!"[/color]
