Looks like it's your lucky day, Fujimaru Ritsuka! Today and today only, I'll be extending a limited-time offer to you! It's the Make Da Vinci-chan Your Servant special!
[ so Minato is finally wandering back into the shared Cerberus Room after meandering around for way too long considering they're all sick.
But also.
He's super used to being sick so it's whatever.
He's tryyyying to be sneaky on his way back in to try not to disturb anyone and/or get scolded for meandering around, but then it's ruined by a sneeze he can't restrain.
[ Ritsuka's compensation for having her body taken over is apparently that she is on the mildest end of the sick spectrum, and she's been running errands almost all day. Unfortunately for him, this means that she is alert when he comes trying to sneak in. ]
--Minato-kun? There you are.
[ She was going to come drag you back by the collar if she had to, boy. ]
[someone leaves a tiny package at Cerberus for Ritsuka, maybe just in a bag hanging on their door with her name on it! it's the ball pit ball Wei Wuxian borrowed from her a while ago. there is a silly bunny face and bunny ears drawn on it now, and a little seal on the opposite side from them in some kind of indelible red paint.
there are no instructions with it, and if she puts it down on a surface by itself it doesn't do anything! but if she puts it down near other ballpit balls it suddenly starts bouncing up and down, getting like a foot off the ground.
and then after a minute all the other balls in the pit will start bouncing too, until the bunny ball is removed.
maybe this will make having a limited number of them more fun!]
[ It takes her a bit to figure that out, just turning it over her fingers and trying to puzzle out what it's for. Even if she'd forgotten about loaning him a ball, it's not difficult to figure out who it's from, but she's not sure what the extra parts are except cute.
But when she puts it with the others, she has a solid minute of delighted laughing before she retrieves it. It can have a place of honor on her desk, before she texts him: ]
Thank you so much!! („• ᴗ •„) I'm going to use this to make Saturn's life difficult just so you know
[ Ryunosuke definitely isn't expecting such a nice care package to show up at Tsuchigumo's door. The soothing teas make him quite homesick, but are also a balm after all that's happened. And the chocolate, well, that's a special treat he isn't used to having all that often, so he's quite touched.
Taking note of the name on the note, it's easy to find this Ritsuka in the directory and send them a message. ]
Hello, Are you the one who left a package at the Tsuchigumo dormitory? Thank you so much! - Ryunosuke Naruhodo
[ He's used to writing letters, not text messages. ]
Dear Ritsuka, I have a present for you, as a thanks for the chocolate you gave me before. Please let me know if we could meet somewhere, or if I should drop it off at your dormitory. - Ryunosuke Naruhodo
