BIO: !Hola¡ Soy Héctor. Yo hablo español y un poco inglés. I've come to Daybreak to learn a little about all this magic stuff and help out around the Campus. If you need an odd job taken care of, I'm your guy! (Unless you are la policía. Or someone I have borrowed from. If that is the case, do not contact me, por favor.)

[Héctor should know exactly where this package came from just from the signature and little chibi drawing along with it. Yes it was a bit early to be giving gifts, but darn it she was so excited to work on it and felt so proud to finally give something back, for once.]

[There was other reasons too. It all started out as an experiment, mostly. Other than some simple patchwork Puella learned from Jail she never really worked that much with stitching before, and now she had some examples to copy from. Either way, Puella was pleased with the results, even if it did take days to get it right. Not every rune style translated the same and she wanted to be sure she could do it using her own.]

[It was a bright orange scarf - the color reminded her a lot of the magic she seen Héctor use sometimes. She also remembered he mentioned he still got cold and felt it often. Not so anymore, this scarf was extraly warm! It felt like being wrapped up in Radiance, how it felt for the living anyway. Which is fitting in a way, the color sort of matched that too.]

[It's been... a very long time since he's gotten any kind of gift. Besides that drawing Ricky made for Teto, which wasn't really the same kind of thing. He blinks at it, almost thinking there must be some mistake. Almost thinking it's more likely meant for Tobias a literal hawk.

But he sees the note and the drawing. He takes it in and sits with it at his bed, opening it slow. His lifts with reverence from the packaging, the fabric soft in his calloused hands. The color of marigolds, of soft sunlight, his own power.

He makes a faint noise of awe, then lifts it to wrap around himself. The effect is immediate, enough so he can tell its been enchanted in some way-- and knowing Puella, he'd have to guess rune-work. For a moment he simply lies back with it, reveling.

And then he's off to find her. Hopefully, she wasn't too far.]

[Puella wouldn't be that hard to find. She had been staying in the common room most of that time working on school things. New year and all.]

[He makes his way up to her quietly. Not soundless but not meaning to draw attention either. He unravels the scarf just the slightest bit.

That way, he can let the end of it gently drape on top of her head. He grins.]

You've been busy, Puelita.

[Sees a shadow behind her and Héctor's voice, then something marigold gently plop on her head. It takes a moment to process it all together, even while looking up.]

You found it!!! [She was ecstatic.]

[He laughs and grin at her explanation, drawing the scarf back around himself.]

I did! And I have to say, it's very cozy.

[That just makes her happier, somehow. If there was a she could be any happier.] I knew you would like it!

[Naturally, she knew everything though. (And would nod sagely if mentioned.)]

I wanted it to be a surprise for awhile~

Did you now?

[He puts his hands on his hips, leaning in.]

And how long exactly have you been planning this?

[How long has it been now? Hmm...]

...I think about two weeks ago.

[It was some time after Ekkehardt came back, for sure.]

[Two weeks. She made this in two weeks. That was crazy. He shakes his head and opens up his arms.]

Come here.

[Two weeks on and off - there was a lot of school related things between that - but it was still two weeks nonetheless.]

[She paused for a second to prepare to give him a big hug, seeing that was what he was planning to do, and laughed.]

[Well, with that, he's going to scoop her right out of her seat and hug her tight. After a moment, he lets her go again.]

Gracias, Puella.

[Yeeeeey, he likes it a lot.]

I can always make you more things if you ever need it.

[He likes it a lot.]

You're too kind, Puelita.

How'd you make this anyway?

[Easy!]

[Well okay not that easy.]

[If he really wants to know though, he doesn't have to look very hard at all. All Puella had to do was gently lift up one of the ends of the scarf and show the runes stitched into it. Some kind of subtle light blue energy was coursing through the letters, keeping it powered on.]

I learned how to make these last year.

[The stitching part of it. That is.]

[He watches her lift the scarf, awe lighting upon his face and in his eyes as he, at last, sees the runes and light running through. He dares run his fingers over it, amazed when it doesn't hurt at all.]

This incredible, Puella.

[He'd like it before. Now he's back to breathless.]

You're a talented kid, you know?

I think you might have mentioned that before. [She teases. She is, admittedly, a pretty damn smart kid. Other than learning that any rune can be stitched or embroidered from Jail, most of this she figured out on her own.]

[It's a big deal, but at the same time, doesn't always see it as such? Hard to remember that not everyone can do these sorts of things.]
