Daedalus felt depressed, he had gotten a kitten as one of his presents and it was immediately taken by his daughter. He hadn't even noticed before, but he was truly a cat person. Cats where truly the pinnacle of all beings.
After petting and playing with the kitten for who knows how long, Rose finally stopped and said "Sorry, he was just too cute." Daedalus could only sigh in agreement with her at this. Then Daedalus said "I understand, but now we need to move on to Reginn's presents."
Reginn smiled and began to go through and open each present. From Rose he got an alchemy set making him smile happily. Richard gave him a chemistry set and a book on science in general. Andromeda gave him a large number of ingredients which where stored in a spatial ring.
Eventually he got to the gift from Daedalus and opened it to reveal the belt that Daedalus had made previously. Reginn became curios as he had quickly recognised the enormous number of runes carved into the wood and leather. However before he could ask Daedalus said "It is a belt enchanted in a way to give you the best possible defense I could make." Reginn then smiled brightly and put it on without a second word.

Seeing as Reginn had finished opening his presents Daedalus gestured to Rose to start opening hers. Rose complied with Daedalus and began to open her owns. The first one she grabbed was from Reginn and it was a simple but affectionate blanket.
After opening the one from Reginn she gave him a hug while saying thank you to him. Then she began to open the one from Daedalus. When she saw what it was, Rose couldn't help but feel awed by it. She was honestly rather shocked by the level of detail and so gave Daedalus a warm hug.
A while later she got to Andromeda's present and slowly opened it while trying to guess what it was. When she did open it she was happy to find that Andromeda had gotten her a book on alchemy as well as a few ingredients. Rose had been stuck with a specific potion recipe and couldn't seem to get it right so what Andromeda got her was perfect for that.
Finally after going through every other present Rose got to the on from Richard. As she began to open Daedalus could see Richard starting to wriggle in his seat with anticipation. Daedalus could only chuckle in his mind until he saw the gift.
Everyone was a little surprised at the gift while Rose was blushing furiously. It was a little heart shaped pendant. That is when Daedalus realised it wasn't from anticipation but embarrassment that Richard was wriggling about. Andromeda then burst into laughter as Reginn glared at Richard.
Rose then thanked Richard with a quiet and shy look on her face. That was when Daedalus spoke up saying "Richard why don't you start opening your presents?"
