[ For most of his life, Trahearne has paid little attention to Wintersday. He's always been busy, if not with Orr then with the Pact, and he never really had time to think of, let alone purchase and wrap gifts. Besides, the concept of family is so different to a sylvari. Early days aside, it would be an impossible feat to bring back all the sylvari to celebrate together as one big family. Some don't even celebrate, like himself.
Except now, for the first time in his life, Trahearne finds himself in a festive mood. The previous year found him on the slippery slope towards noctaeredom, but now, he's more at peace than he ever has been. And in the strangest twist, he even has a loved one he'd feel the need to celebrate and get a gift for. It's funny how things turn out. He would have never imagined himself here a year ago.
The idea of a gift for Zhongli came to him before they even began dating, back in the summer, and since Trahearne did not know when his birthday was (something to ask, at some point), he decided to hold onto it for Wintersday. And so, with the day here at last, the sylvari arrives at the archon's house with the present neatly wrapped and tucked under his arm, hopefully not drawing immediate attention to it.
After a moment of hesitation, Trahearne reaches to knock decisively and loudly on Zhongli's door. Open up!! ]
