[ Claude's been studying the gift placed on his desk ever since he unwrapped it and read the note inside by way of turning it over and over in his hands to note all the details. What stands out the most at first glance is the tree inside which causes him to smile slightly each time his gaze falls upon it again. He's remembered Claire talking about her ability granted in the way of plants when they've discussed magic and so much else, and what was created - it's touching in a way which someone normally so gregarious has trouble finding the words for describing.
And, well - the gift giver isn't currently talking to him in something that's mutual so while he should probably also thank her at some point, Claire's who he reaches out to first. ]
I hear you're the reason I'm sitting here looking at something resembling my favorite pine trees. Thank you for that thoughtfulness since it's been far nicer to look at something from home that isn't only in the Horizon than I could've ever guessed it'd be. Was this from the power you'd told me about?
