[ what does one give to royalty? thankfully, zagreus has a wealth of experience in gift giving, though admittedly callisto isn't particularly easy to find gifts for.
ultimately, he settles on a small assortment of items: a couple sheet masks, a few bottles of essential oils, and one of those nice silk eye covers for sleep. a little self-care gift basket, if you will. he has a feeling callisto doesn't do that very often. also included is a fountain pen already loaded with ink, because he knows calli is into that. the cool thing about the future is that all these things that would have cost a fortune is actually relatively inexpensive? amazing.
anyway, wherever callisto is staying, there will be a knock at his door but all he'll see after opening it is the small basket of items. tucked alongside it is a note: ]
To H.R.H Callisto Regulus,
Please accept this humble offering. While Your Highness always looks his best, I felt these items would suit your needs. I hope that they are to your liking, and may remind you to be considerate of your own well-being from time to time.
It's still one you wish you could have shared with your family members. They aren't here, and while there would never be a replacement, you'd still like to spend it with others somehow.
Besides, you need to ask a favor.) ]
free
[ ...
Is he... free... It is the afternoon. There is a chance he is not. ]
[ As she promised, there's a nice little box outside Callisto's door the next morning. If he opens it up, it's filled with packing peanuts and...well, a crown. Not exactly extravagant, but she figured he should have it since the whole party was for his birthday. ]
[ Around the middle of the month, there will be three neat enough ingots of bronze sat at his door. On them is a note in surprisingly elegant, loopy handwriting... with the address of a workshop for metalcasting, along with the sketch of a penguin.
Don't worry, Siffrin will be attending the workshop too, mostly so he can teach Callisto a little hands on about Crafting. His other student had the benefit of feeling the pull of a ship under her hands, this one will be observed. ]
[ Kabru, uh... got a bit busy during the gala, so he lost sightof his plan to feliver Callisto's gift to him directly. That's fine! After he recollects himself, he heads over to the man's room and knocks at his door, wrapped box in hand. While Kabru usually keeps his appearance neat, his hair and clothing took slightly tousled right now. ]
[ Ereshkigal had a fantastic time at the gala. Truly one of her life's happiest memory (it helps that she doesn't have many). Unfortunately, while drunk (thanks to that evil god), she found herself making a promise to Callisto. And even if she hadn't been in her right mind, a promise is a promise.
And so she stands in the simulation room, awaiting for the man to arrive. If he's not there at the appointed time, she's going to go and drag him out of his bed...!
Though she's not sure she'll manage to bring out the energy she had on that day. She can be strict, but that strict? Honestly, some of the stuff she's said... S-Shameful! She'll never drink ever again, no thank you. ]
[ (It's been a rough couple of months, huh? You...
... are still vampiric.
... have lost someone very important, recently.
... feel like time is slipping away, again.
... ... ...
You're okay!)
Siffrin is turning up at two people's doors, but the first is Callisto's. There's something they need to do. So, he pauses a moment, remembering the promise he'd made to the other about knocking (and being thusly rewarded in some way) and does so.
Knock, that is. Please open to your small companion. Look at this smile. Doesn't it inspire confidence? ]
( Was Callisto going to be spared? Absolutely not. On the 25th a gift is left at his door, wrapped neatly in this wonderful paper.
Inside he gets
- this plushie. - a taste-testing donut box, all fancy flavours he's never heard of so clearly fit for royalty. - a bottle of wine - the one served at his party! - a handmade i.o.u coupon for one ( 1 ) bodyguarding service of his choosing.
There's also a drawn card - one of the orphanage kids - of a santa that looks suspiciously like Vash. Inside he's written Cedrick! Happy holidays. I don't know if you celebrate them where you're from, but I wanted to get you something. Use the coupon whenever you want! I'm working real hard on my knight application!!! - Vash )
[ A wrapped package can be found at Callisto's door after the Christmas Party. Unwrapping it reveals a costume that is akin to that a prince would wear in a fairy tale. It's very elegant, predominantly black with golden outlines and a long red cape.
There is a message with the gift, written on a Christmas postcard: ]
Dear Callisto,
As you are taking steps towards becoming your better self, I believe these clothes will help you look as graceful on the outside as you are becoming on the inside. You are forbidden from being your detestable old self while wearing these clothes, consider it incentive for you to strive ever towards being your better self.
Merry Christmas! -- Ereshkigal, Goddess of Death and Queen of Kûr

One swelteringly hot July afternoon, Callisto will receive a notification that he has one (1) new message!
Turns out the message is just a single forwarded link to the following website. Congrats on the new job opporunity?? ]

Siffrin last seen heading east.
Can't give chase, but they're currently poisoned by LILITH tech.
Get the antidote if you can. [ … ] It'll be lethal if left alone.

Zagreus appears to have gone missing. He was at the medical cruiser, so it wasn't that he perished in Transylvania.
I've scoped out all his usual spots but I haven't been able to find him. And he isn't responding to messages.
He wouldn't happen to have been with you this whole time, would he?
