[Despite the lack of closeness in their relationship -- having only more or less just introduced themselves to one another and had a pleasant enough conversation -- Ozymandias thinks it would be remiss of him if he did not gift Edelgard with something for the holiday.]
[He does not bother with the handmade tradition of the city, however. While charming, it's not very practical for someone like him to craft much of anything let alone to someone he has only more or less just met. It would simply be far too personal to do at this juncture.]
[So, although there are not any particular frills with its presentation, a bottle of red wine is given to her with blue and gold ribbons tied around the neck. Much of the city's alcohol is quite frankly swill and not worth the prices that are being charged, but Ozymandias would never present something like that to her. (Or anyone else he hopes to maintain a positive relationship with.) He's tasted this wine before, knowing that it is from a reputable vineyard and from a particularly good year for said vineyard and thinks she'll find it acceptable, not being overly sweet or dry.]
[The tradition is unfamiliar to Edelgard, but she appreciates it all the same. A few days later, a parcel will appear at Ozymandias's place of residence, stamped with a golden eagle on a field of red, the crest of Adrestia...and one of the decorations that she'd certainly had on when they spoke.
Inside is a small golden necklace, nothing too ornate, but a well-worked piece of a sunburst along with a simple note.]
Your gift was far too kind, Ozymandias.
Thank you. May the coming year be as radiant for you as ever it has been.
