It was a bit...unsubtle, but it certainly caught one's attention, which was important in the matters of gift-giving.<br/><br/>"I really appreciate your help!" Alice exclaimed as she eagerly returned the greeting kisses.<br/><br/>Not wanting to be too early and appear stalkerish, Alice erred on the side of being but a few minutes late and slowed her pace as she made her way to the currently-unknown priestess' quarters. If everything was timed right then the wine and letter would have already arrive, and so would she (minus any urgent business which would surely throw a wrench in her plans). If anyone asked her business in ascending the levels, she'd tell the honest truth:<br/><br/>"I was enraptured with the priestess who gave today's sermon, and hoped to ensure that she received my gift!"<br/><br/>Technically not the whole truth, but technically not a lie.<br/><br/>Applying a bit of new makeup and dusting any phantom crumbs off her garments, Alice made herself presentable as she raised a fist to softly rap on the priestess' door.<br/><br/>That is, if everything went to plan.
