For a second time, Malicia was back to see Stolas. This time she'd brought a basket for him. After some research she learned that the gift was appropriate in almost every setting. The only problem was it was large and tall and took both her arms to carry. The baskets red bow was right in front of her chin.
She was in her usual Cadre-gear, including her half-mask. Her hair was in a perfect bun exactly at the centre of the back of her head. A bun she'd worked on for several hours as a form of mediation.
Once invited into the office, the small council member walked up to the lords desk and put the basket down. "Thank you for killing Max," Malicia said, probably crudely, but that was what she was giving the gift for.
"It is mostly candy," Malicia said, gesturing to the basket. She did not know what Stolas liked but he'd given her candy before so she was making a guess. "There are also several bars that were engineered by my cultists to meet my daily nutritional needs. They're to be eaten three times a day on a regular schedule. If you try them and find them adequate I suggest looking into getting them altered for your gender and species."
