Her husband-wife had once confided in her that the act of giving something to someone who already wanted nothing else but your presence - a situation between them that was quite clear to the young and learning-to-be-a-good-partner Qat - felt like a *peculiar* kind of generosity. When anything would be acceptable, everything looked insufficient… except the most personal of gestures. Which is how the iridescent wax seal set came to mind, in particular.
Elua had in turn told Qat that when your wife told you anything was fine, she really meant for you to do your best on your own. The thought and effort - and often the story behind its procurement - were eighty percent or more of the importance of getting a gift from someone you would love either way. Which is also why she felt a lot of her own gifts weren't as big of a deal as others might think.
