Connie was overjoyed when Oros told her that getting her present to Faith wouldn’t be difficult. [color=DarkOrchid]“T-That’s great! T-Thanks Oros!”[/color] she told the pink-haired girl. [color=DarkOrchid]“I j-just [i]knew[/i] you’d be able to d-do it!”[/color] Her cheerfulness subsided slightly a moment later, when Oros asked about her own present. [color=DarkOrchid]“O-Oh! U-Umm,”[/color] she mumbled as she nervously searched through her sack. [color=DarkOrchid]“I-It’s r-right here!”[/color] the flustered girl added as she retrieved a rectangular package and handed it to Oros. [color=DarkOrchid]“M-Merry Christmas!”[/color] 

If the pink-haired girl chose to open it, she would find a sketchbook, along with a set of high quality colored pencils and a small landscape painting by Connie herself. 

[color=DarkOrchid]“I-I h-hope you l-like it…”[/color] the timid girl added softly.

A moment later, Connie yelped in alarm as the sound of a mighty thunderclap reverberated through the lodge. [color=DarkOrchid]“W-W-What was t-that?!”[/color] she stammered, tightly clinging to Oros as she frantically looked around for anything dangerous. When nothing threatening seemed to be in evidence, Connie slowly began to calm down. [color=DarkOrchid]“S-Sorry a-about t-that…”[/color] she apologized to Oros as she released the pink-haired girl. [color=DarkOrchid]“I-It j-just r-really s-startled me…”[/color] she added, her face turning bright red.
