Searching for a Present

Dialogue

You got me a present?! Budding Artist
Fleur
I sure did. Would you like it? But it's not my birthday or Dragonyule or Present Thursday or ANYTHING! Ha ha! Yes, but this is a Valentine's gift. What the heck is that? Valentine's is a holiday where you show appreciation for special people in your life. You can do it with words, but you can also do it with a gift like this one. So that's what the present is for? That's right! You always brighten my day, and I think it's important you know it. I also appreciate how your gorgeous art lights up the halls of the Halidom. Ohmigosh, you are the BEST! ...Um, so can I open it? Please. Woooop! What is it what is it what iiiiis... Oooh! These are the human-made paints I've been wanting forever! Are you for real?! You're just gonna GIVE these to me?! That's why I picked them out. Eeee! Thank yoooooou! Oh, but now I need to give YOU a present in return! Please don't feel obligated. I gave this to you because I wanted to, not because I was hoping to get something back.

Yeah, I get that—but it's FUN to give presents, so I'm gonna do it anyway. Hmm... What should I get you...?

You all done handing out gifts, Euden? I'm finished with all the people in the castle, but I have deliveries to make for all the folks who are away at the moment. While I admire your gift-giving pluck, won't that be something of a hassle? It's no hassle at all. Besides, everyone gave me gifts last year, remember? So it's only right I show my gratitude this time around. That is very much you, Your Majesty— as is the fact you managed to acquire a personal gift for each person. Ain't nobody pays attention to the little man like you do, boss. If you're going to get someone a gift, it makes sense to find one they enjoy. Anyway, I'm off. See you around!

Hmm, I see... The prince is giving everyone unique gifts tailored to them. So that means I have to give him a perfect—and PERSONAL—thank-you gift! ...Hmm. I sort of expected inspiration to strike there, but I'm getting nothing. Maybe I'll get an idea if I figure out what he's getting everyone else? Yes! It's perfect! Input begets inspiration! And now that my mind's made up, it's time to sneak off after him!
