It's after a visit from Ducky at South's apartment that she'll discover a small gift wrapped in brown paper and tied with twine. Inside is a small piece of wood carved into a compass rose--except instead of pointing to N for North, there's an intricately curved S.
There's also a card.
Do they still celebrate Christmas in space? If not, I hope you'll accept the sentiment regardless. Merry Christmas, South.
It catches her by surprise, in small part because the holiday had all but entirely slipped her mind in any practical sense with everything going in, but in a much larger part because she can't remember the last time she got a gift. Let alone something so... personalised? So she stands and just looks it over, for a while, after she finds it, absolutely not smiling like a fool to herself, shut up, before deciding to at least text a thanks.
some of us still celebrate christmas in space, yeah. merry christmas, ducky, and thank you, this is beautiful
and i double super owe you that fuckin fancy dinner now. soon
