JUSTICE,

I HAVE SOME BUSINESS TO ATTEND TO IN WYVER. WATCH OVER PROUDWING WHILE I AM GONE.

SHOULD I NOT RETURN WITHIN TWO DAYS, ASSUME THE WORST, THAT A MAN NAMED WILLEM IS RESPONSIBLE FOR MY DISAPPEARANCE, AND SEEK OUT JON SNOW.

[ at the very least, he is certain that between the two of them, he's taken more than enough precautions. ]

( Whoever came up with the idea of a secret gift exchange did not do so with either of Anders' or Justice's situations in mind. Anders, for one thing, has never been good at deception. And that probably wouldn't be such a big deal if he were given the name of someone he'd never met. He could just drop his present off in the mail, leave it for his recipient to pick up. They would never have to see each other or him trying (and failing) to be stoic.

But instead he got Justice. The spirit who Anders not only shares a body with, but who would be also able to read his mind if the topic ever came up. He'd see straight through all of his bullshit.

So he waits until the end of his shift to call Justice over, saying that he has something to show him back in his room. He punctuates the request with a wink, which probably goes over the spirit's head because it's innuendo and they don't have that in the Fade, but Anders revels in it anyway. )

It's something I know you've been wanting to get your hands on for a while.

( Someone please stop him. )

[ Grantaire isn’t particularly ambitious, but Justice wasn’t exactly…secretive about the whole secret Santa thing. It was easy and quick enough to find a contact for him, and Grantaire only feels as though he should extend his gratitude. ]

You left your name along with your gift, monsieur. I believe that was not in the rules, but I would like to thank you. I am a stranger to you, and your gift was far more than I deserved to reserve.

[ A little concerning, that painting should be forced into his life once more, but he genuinely appreciates it. ]

I have lots to say but can never speak. Knowledge is the thing I eat. Inside me adventures you will find quests and treasures of every kind for all those that wish to visit me your hands are the ultimate key. What am I?

[ right before it was announced... ]

I haven't seen nearly as much of you as I would like, Anders.

Let me know if you receive this.

Is this better?

( attachment )

I need a drink. Meet me at the closest bar and I'll pay for yours as well.

Justice, would you be fine if a man from my realm stays with us as well?

[ look, they have had Anders over, but Davos is... different. ]

I don't know if you've heard, but the Guard is asking for volunteers to lure the dragon away from the city. I'm going to help, and I don't know if I'm going to make it back.

I can't make any promises otherwise. You saw what the beast is like, how powerful it is. If I don't see you again, I just want you to know I love you, and I'm sorry for getting into that argument with you. It seems so stupid in the face of all this.

I wish I could have seen you one last time. I've missed you so much these past few weeks, but I didn't want to bother you while you were thinking things over. I didn't want to get into another fight.

Please take care of yourself, and don't feel guilty if anything happens to me. It's not your fault, and there's nothing you can do to change my mind.

I love you.
