[when nile gets home that night, there's a bag sitting on her bed waiting for her. on top is a note that simply reads:
This is for you. We will begin training at 8am on Monday.
Please do not take this outside unless Andy or myself are with you. I do not know that they would take kindly to you carrying it.
inside the bag is a rather plain looking sword and sheath. once she's got the hang of using this, he already has plans on taking her to buy something more suitable.]
[ Some time after Christmas has come and gone, a mysterious parcel, wrapped in newspaper, appears on Nile's doorstep. On top is a note attached that simply reads: ]
Merry Christmas Miss Storm
Idea wouldn't get out of my head. One for you and one for Andy
Keep fighting and rising from the ashes
Dean
[ When Nile opens the box she'll find two small hand-carved wooden phoenixes. Since moving out to the forest, Dean's picked up a new hobby and he's getting scary good at it. ]
[ They're encouraged to use the official channels, but Poe's not doing that. He's just not acknowledging something like that there, even if their conversations are supposedly private. ]
Hey.
I'd ask if you're okay, but I think I already know the answer to that one.

You know, I've been all over this damn city, Up an' Down, even over to Insincerity an' the like, an' I ain't found a single pack of Chesterfields anywhere?
( that accent could literally only be from alabama, an' it's about as hard hittin' as these things come. )
[ He's been trying to message her again and again, but it's the day travel between the Up and Down is working again that he's finally able to get through to her.
He knows she's immortal, but it doesn't matter. Who knows what could have happened to her in the Down. ]
Shadow reassured me you were still in the city because of some kind of sense he has, but I need to hear from you that you're okay.
