[ Some Scotch whiskey and an antler-tipped arrow. A note is attached: ]
I don't know if someone's told ya this, but antlers have special power in Deerington, probably on account of the deer. It might help ya even when normal weapons won't.

[Sometime later, a message was sent. It was a bit vague, the woman wanting to avoid being too open about certain statements.]
No one had mentioned your lesson, but it makes sense I suppose. Thank you for the gift. I will see it in good health.
So that you know, something seems to have happened recently to my sword.
[Admittedly, she wasn't an archer, but she didn't say that.]

...Are you okay? Want to meet somewhere?
[ ooc: an excuse to tag your open, maybe? ]

Alright. Let's meet at F.E.A.R., then. Half an hour? I'm nearby anyhow.
[There's a box at her preferred place in F.E.A.R, either her desk, or anywhere else in the building. A box wrapped in bright red foil, a silky silver ribbon tied around it with a bow on top. Inside the box is a pair of gloves made from high-quality leather, a tea mug with an infuser, and a tin of tea leaves. On top of the pile is a simple piece of white cardstock paper with elegant cursive words penned in red ink (notice a pattern?), as if written with a quill or a fountain pen.
Happy holidays.
Who could have sent it? Well, all that red looks a lot like the red a certain second-in-command likes to wear, right?]

[They had yet to meet, though she'd seen him around in the midst of her first tours and her initial duties, testing out magical limitations in Deerington. When she saw the gift, she smiled to herself and nodded at the tea strainer. That was going to get some use, she was sure.
She asked around until she found his locker and left a note in clean cursive. It wasn't quite as fancy, but she hadn't entirely gotten behind the holiday spirit.]
Thank you for the welcome. Should you wish to join me for lunch or drinks, do not hesitate to call.

[What's this? Vira-Lorr has a package! And inside is...
a kazoo? And a note.]
When you play Africa from Toto, you will stun monsters-for a short while.

[There's no reply.
In fact, the phone gets a 'sender not in service range' message.
Weird huh?]

[ Vira will likely find the following outside her place:
➟ Arrows with heads fashioned from antlers.
➟ A set of notes. ]

I thought you'd want to know that I've returned. And I feel I owe you an apology for making you listen to my last moments a week ago.
[It actually takes a couple days, given the staggering of their respective deaths. She does, however, text him back when she had her fluid again.]
My own apologies, Franciscus. It seemed we both encountered a rather unfortunate end recently. Different circumstances, though, I assure you. No need to apologize, though. You weren't yourself.

Well, I'll simply say that it's good to hear you're back, then. Do you mind me asking what happened, in case it's something I should avoid myself in future?
One of the crab creatures with the acid blood in the decorated eggs got me by surprise. They're extremely fast and I didn't hear the egg crack open until it was too late. They implant their young inside you, which burst out.
It's rather grotesque, though the song and dance routine was just insult added to injury really.
[...no, she wasn't kidding about the song and dance routine. It had done that while avoiding Moira's killing blow, as she'd died.]
