[ Daniel is at least a little aware of the entire cultural difference when it comes to Christmas, but.. well, he can't help but want to share Christmas the way he's used to it with his students, so a day before Christmas Day - just to make sure it all ends up at the right places in time, you never know what could happen in Trench - a cute and fluffy Omen stops by the place where Jun lives. Yes, it's indeed Daniel's Omen, recognizable from how it's always hanging around the dojo, but now pulling what seems like a simple little sled.. He is the good Christmas boy. It is him. He's even wearing a festive bowtie.
He'll definitely direct any and all attention towards the gift on the sled though.
Which, in this case, is a wrapped up - though in plain paper, not like Trench has Christmas paper he could use.. - set of two books on marine biology. There's also a bag containing some ricotta cookies.
There's a note attached to the bag, which reads: ]
Happy holidays!
Even if Christmas or any other holidays may not be as much a thing here, I still wanted to give you something to show my appreciation at the end of the year. I believe I did not see these in the pile you were reading last time I was over at your place, but if you do already own or have read either of these, just let me know and we will see if we can pick out some different books for you.
Thank you for trusting me, and for training with me. I know that things aren't always easy for you in this place, but that just makes me even more grateful that I can be there for you. No matter what you may think about yourself, you're always good enough, and I am personally always proud of the way you do your best. You're doing so much better than you think. I mean, a fighter and a marine biologist? That is some double talent you are developing there.
I feel honored to have you as my student. Never forget that.
