I do. I have it wrapped right here. Though, I'm not sure I know where you're situated. Can you give directions from my treehouse?

Oh, and you really don't have to bother with all that your highness formality if you don't want to. It wouldn't bother me at all, but "Lady Corrin" would also do, if that feels more comfortable for you.

[madcuriosity]

[Alice gives the directions to her and Gamora's cottage. Smiling.]

Well, alright, your- ah, Lady Corrin! I don't mind the formality, mama always says you're only supposed to call family by their names without titles and the sort. I'm not uncomfortable with your being a princess and my being... not.

[bladeofconquest]

[Corrin laughs genially.] Okay then, if you're sure then that's fine with me. Lady Corrin will do nicely. Anyway, I'll see you shortly, Alice.

[It's not too long afterwards that there's a knock on the door of Alice and Gamora's cottage. Corrin comes bearing a present and some cakes, because what kind of birthday celebration doesn't include cakes to snack on?]

[madcuriosity]

[There is the sound of a chain being undone and then a lock coming out of its bolt before the door open. Alice peeks out a tiny bit before seeing Corrin and smiling, opening the door wide, offering a curtsy in greeting.]

How do you do, your highness! Please come in!

[Alice reached up to grab Corrin's hand.]

[bladeofconquest]

[Corrin takes Alice's hand, and gives it a squeeze.] Thank you, Alice. I'd be delighted to. I'm excited to see your cottage! Will you show me around it later? I brought some treats as well.

[madcuriosity]

Yes, of course, if you would like. It's very nice living here, honestly. Though the little homes under the hills were practically my size in every way.

Would you like to put the treats in the kitchen?

[bladeofconquest]

"I thought about those, but I was too worried I'd be bumping my head on things too much." Corrin laughs. "I didn't want to risk the constant headaches!"

"That'd be lovely, thank you. And then before we get to anything else, I should give you your gift. No need to make you wait overly long for it." Then they can spend the rest of the afternoon visiting. But the most important thing has to be taken care of first!

Alice took Corrin by the hand and led her to the kitchen. The cottage was lovely and perfectly suited for Alice and Gamora with room for more if needed. Everything was neat and tidy and lived in, flowers in vases in nearly every room.

"My gift!" Alice couldn't help the excitement and curiosity in her voice. She was bouncing on the balls of her feet. "What is it, your highness?"
