[Several days before Christmas/Candlenights/what have you, two wrapped packages are left for Maya! In this case, Michael wasn't entirely sure what to do. He certainly wanted to get her something - they're obviously friends! They've said so! It's just that most of their interactions have been...sort of intense. Not exactly casual conversation about hobbies and whatnot.
Getting her a candle or something generic didn't feel right, either. So in the end, there's two wrapped packages delivered to her door a few days before Christmas. The attached note reads:]
I wasn't really sure what to get you, so I went for something fun and something useful. Without magic, I feel like we all need more useful things. You're going to have to be your own phoenix now, you know - but I'm sure you can.
Enjoy whatever holiday you're into.
- Michael.
[When Maya unwraps them, she will find a gift box of cookies from New New Aspen and a knife. It's a good knife; Michael knows how to choose those, at least.]
