[left in his room in Caer Scima is a black coat, neatly folded. it's been made to fit him, cut more for style than for warmth--he doesn't need the latter--and on the inside, there's several cleverly hidden pockets. a note is laid on the top.]
By now, I hope you've had some time to rest with all that has been said and done. Happy Yule.
[A note arrives with to a number of bolts of thick, soft fabric a shade of deep, vermillion red. One bolt is striped with deep, lustrous gold, and a sprig of mistletoe is pinned to it.]
Lady Grell,
Forgive my lateness, and the fact that I'm giving you a present which is half-finished. I was resting too much. If the colour and material pleases you, I'm sure you and the castle's tailors can fashion something far beyond my own suggestions.
May winter's bite lack teeth, and may yours be as wicked as ever,
