[eventy] gimme presents

She had signed up for the secret santa event mostly to get things. She hadn't quite expected to be told to actually go out and get something in return. Mildly upset with this development, Letty had stared at her shopping list in confusion. The person listed that they liked cold things, so why didn't they just go outside? Could she maybe just take her person outside as a gift? Or throw a snowball at them. That would be easy, just toss them a snowball and wait for her own present.
After consulting with a stranger, she settled on making a box and stuffing it with assorted candies. Hopefully that would work.
Floating through the doorway of the room where they were supposed to exchange, she roamed around, lazily asking people if they were called Noelle. Her attention set on a stranger with blue hair, Letty approached. "You Noelle?"

"Yeah. That's me. She almost asked if this was Noelle, but stopped when she realised that she had already asked that. Why did they have to pair up with strangers? This was so awkward. Letty glanced down at the miniature tower of parcels, suddenly daunted by the fact that she had only thought to get one gift. Ah, hopefully the relative large size of the box made up for it.

Handing over the wrapped box containing the assorted candies, Leticia glanced curiously at the parcels. "I know it's not much, but I hope you like it."

Yes, lessening the awkward of gift giving would ease the tension nicely. Excited to tear open her things, Letty's fingers itched to dig themselves deep into the paper and shred it with every ounce of energy she possessed. She loved the feeling of that power, the power of being able to rip paper to tiny pieces with a single swipe of her carefully manicured nails. She felt very catlike and powerful. To be completely honest, the action of shredding overpowered the excitement of getting things just a tiny bit.

Her eyes widening in anticipation for the paper she was about to shred, Letty reached out to hold the boxes, and passed over her own parcel. The candies shifted around and made it awkward to hold. The size of the box forced the small Leticia to hold it carefully with both hands. The package safely transferred, Leticia set to work shredding her paper, enjoying the rich sound of the paper giving way to her claws. Nearly all the paper had been shredded, and it had fallen in an odd sort of halo around her body. She had almost forgotten to check what the actual gifts were! Reaching back at the rejected pile of presents, Leticia examined them in turn carefully, her face lighting up with delight as she found interest in each one of them. Looking up with a pleasantly surprised face, Leticia gave a very rare genuine smile. "Thank you! I love them all.

Letty was pleased to see that her gift went over so well. The socks were probably her favourite gift, the cats were especially exciting. Leticia had taken an unusual shine to the species as of late, and she delighted over wearing them as soon as possible.

"I'm glad you like your gift, too. I wasn't sure what types of candy you liked so I just got a big box." Clutching her socks, as well as her book and necklace, Letty felt very happy. She hadn't expected to get such neat gives from a school exchange. "I wonder what everyone else got... ?"

Happy that Noelle was pleased, Letty tied up her new necklace into her horns. She didn't often wear jewelry, but when she did, it went on top of her impressive horns 90% of the time. As for the other two gifts, Leticia was satisfied to simply carry them in her arms. She didn't want anyone else to lift them, after all.

"I'm sure everyone else would be happy to show off their new presents. " A quick glance around confirmed that almost everyone had already exchanged and were now chattering excitedly with one another. Pointing at a cluster of students, Ania looked to Noelle. "Perhaps we can join that group."
