[ konoha! seriously! he was already going to give her a proper gift come the new year, but it feels all the more important with her generosity and kindness, along with gonta's. she's one of the people he feels most relaxed around here in this crazy city, and he likes the feeling of a pseudo family. he misses the found one he has back home.
he drops the gift off and then oh-so-slyly jogs away, because he didn't want to pay the cost of shipping all the foodstuffs he's found and gone out to buy over the last few days since returning to the city. there's a basket overflowing with holiday treats, many of them freshly baked or picked, some candies like peppermint bark buried in a section, popped corn, a carefully packaged cut of delicious, delicious beef. there's also some honey: one of the local bee keepers had a cute holiday label that he thought his sister might have liked, and so it ends up in konoha and gonta's rather oversized basket.
there's also a paper-wrapped package to the side of the basket, containing two woolen blankets. both are soft, and dyed, with geometric patterns reminiscent of growing grains and fruits and birds flying overhead in a blue sky; he'd thought they were pretty and also warm, what with how cold it's been lately. ]
Happy New Year, Konoha! Happy New Year to Gonta, too. All the best wishes and luck to you both this year, along with many happy memories. What better place for those to start than at a dinner table, right? Eat many good things!
Thank you for everything, Konoha. You're the best.
