belated christmas present

[multidisciplinary]

[ On Christmas morning, Susato will find a neatly wrapped gift waiting for her on her doorstep. A letter is attached, written in Zelda's pristine cursive handwriting. ]

Dearest Susato,

Warm tidings to you on this holiday.

Please accept this gift, my cherished friend, in honor of my homeland's patron goddess. This is a common Hyrulean cooking ingredient, widely used both for its healing properties and its taste. Food flavored with this herb helps to speed the healing process, whether one is injured by wounds or illness.

May the Goddess smile upon you,
Zelda, Princess of Hyrule

[ Inside the box are two light-tan colored hair ribbons, each end delicately embroidered with a lily of the valley design. There are also three bottles of ground dried Hyrule herb, which smells and tastes like a combination of thyme and rosemary. The label is written in Hyrulean script, but Zelda has penned a translation on the back: "Hyrule Herb. From the plains of central Hyrule, guaranteed to make your meal 30% healthier." ]

[ Christmas day itself is a relatively quiet endeavor. Perhaps it had been a mistake to allow so many of her own gifts to be opened early by her friends who live there, but for Zelda at least, it means a quicker response time, though it's still later in the day after a comfortable, lazy morning. ]

Dearest Zelda,

What a thoughtful gift! I am so excited to share this herb with the rest of the staff, but I will also make sure to hold some of it for when it counts the most. I can hardly believe how many seasons have passed since we met that fateful night in the snow, when I was still seeking to help a friend heal in my own way.

Speaking of which, I thought the lovely flowers on these hair ribbons looked familiar, so I looked them up. A "return to happiness," is it?

I wish the same for you and your knight, and I sincerely hope that you enjoyed the tacos I made, along with the accompanying recipe. There are many different kinds, so feel free to experiment together! I eagerly await the results.

Sincerely,
Susato Mikotoba
