I could use a bit of advice myself, so it would seem. Initially, I had thought to also hide my identity. However, I realized that it would do me little good. With what I've to ask, I fear it might be a touch obvious.

Thus I ask: what would be a good gift to celebrate one year of being with your partner? How do I present it to him when we don't have a specific date? Officially, that is.

A silly thing to ask, I know. I suppose I would simply like for it to mean something and seeing Cassiopea only brings it to the forefront of my mind - to ensure that with the time we are granted that I express myself appropriately.

How did you survive being a bachelor so long, I wonder?

[Bruh even alhaitham can cook! Bruh!!!]

It's almost harder to get gifts for someone easily pleased than for someone picky, isn't it? Hmmmm. Maybe play a song for him then--if it's to make the occasion special, it needn't be a physical gift.

My ward would bring me meals when she saw fit and would linger until I ate.

[ Sounds like food and G'raha have an odd relationship ]

Oh I wish he were pickier. Then I would be able to at least track something down. Though at the same time, I suppose I hadn't thought of a song.

[empyrean_mirror]

G'raha, you do eat regularly here, right?

[Hmm. An unpicky lover...well, Kaveh doesn't have much experience with that, given he has been granted care of the Pickiest Man Alive, but he does sympathize.]

A song is certainly going to create a lasting memory, which seems to be the goal more than material things. I'm afraid I'm always predisposed to make something with my hands, by nature, but since we're talking about you and Mr. Fair, I think this would be a good solution.

[afflatusexarch]

Do I appear too thin to you?

[ That's not necessarily a direct answer now is it?

But back to more important matters. Who cares about something like eating? ]

I suppose it might be time, yes, for a change. We've exchanged many material items. Mayhap a memory or an experience would be the better way to go about this. Goodness knows we could all use happier memories to lean on.

[empyrean_mirror]

That is not an answer.

[He knows your tricks, cat, he's used them all himself.]

Surely you don't lack happy memories with Mr. Fair? But the nice thing about good memories is there's always room for more of them.

[ JUST GOING TO, YOU KNOW IGNORE THAT ]

No, I am not lacking happy memories. The reality is that there will never be enough. What I require are more, but not just for myself.

For him as well.
