[ At some point in the day, there's a knock on the door, but by the time Barcus might come to answer all he'll find is a bottle of wine wrapped with a colorful bow, and an attached note. ]
I'm not sure if there are any similar holidays that you celebrate in your world, but I wanted to give a gift for you regardless. Thank you for being good company for Ashton. I hope our friendship can grow in the future as well.
[There are people he half expected to hear from, or get gifts from, and people he didn't. Dorian is not one he expected anything from, despite a close mutual friend, and it's touching.
(good company for Ashton...is that what the kids are calling it these days? ha.)
He takes the wine indoors and spends some time talking to his cat and putting something together in response to the gift. Later that evening, a small basket will arrive at Dorian's front door, with a bottle of Barcus' own homemade wine inside, as well as a corkscrew he's clearly forged by hand.]
Dear Dorian,
Your gift is very kind and much appreciated! I hope you will enjoy this in return. It's not real Gorgondy wine, but it's as close an approximation as I can create with the ingredients obtainable in this world. The ruby dust adds a little depth to the flavor; I hope you'll enjoy it.
If you would like to meet for a drink some time, undertake a quest together, or even just visit my home, please don't hesitate to call on me. I have a tendency to get lost in my own projects and I often benefit from people reminding me the outside world exists. I too hope we can be friends.
