[Reasonable.]

Honestly, that's not too hard to believe. [Just because he can't not imagine a bunch of holidays permeating cultures doesn't mean there aren't possible cultures that don't have calendar days for things like Christmas and such.] It seems like a lot of the people around here are familiar with holidays that the Near Shore celebrates. If you're interested in learning more about them, you can probably get a good feel for them just by watching what happens there.

[handsome_genius]

It's not just that. I'm okay with reading up on things that I don't know about.

I just wish I'd had time to read up before the holiday itself. Now I feel like I'm behind.

[yousaytron]

[Ah, how like him.]

I don't think anyone's going to blame you for being behind when you didn't know in the first place.

[handsome_genius]

Yeah no one except myself.

[ Keith is one of the rare people he'll tell that to. ]

I'll just have to work quickly, I guess.

[yousaytron]

[That's fair, he can't really judge.]

Well, if you think of anything that could be sped along even more with an extra set of hands, let me know. I probably won't be very busy for the rest of the day.

YOU CAN'T HELP MAKE YOUR OWN GIFT, KEITH!

LMFAO

[yousaytron]

I meant stuff for other people!

XD <3

[handsome_genius]

You want to make gifts for your friends?

[yousaytron]

I’m assuming you’d want to make things for people other than me, if you want help with THOSE I can lend a hand.

I already have my own bases covered.

[handsome_genius]

My preliminary research has implied that most people - if they make gifts at all - tend to make the same kind of thing over and over again for all of the people they are giving gifts to.

[yousaytron]

[Ah.]

All right, fair enough.
My offer still stands, but if that's your plan, I suppose I'll leave you to your work and see when you're you're finished, then.

[handsome_genius]

Of course you will! When I deliver your gift!

--- FLASH FORWARD... Probably two days, maybe three ---

[ Yoon seeks out Keith with something folded neatly, then wrapped in a traditional furoshiki cloth for presentation of the gift. Inside the giftwrap is a black shirt with red accents that Yoon made himself, based on a Mexican pattern. There's a tag inside that indicates Yoon made it, and it belongs to Keith.

Inside is a handwritten note to give a hint as to why that style: ] To commemorate how we met. - Yoon

[ And no, he didn't make anything like this for anyone else.

He holds up the gift when he finds Keith next. ]

Here you go! Happy Belated Holiday!
