...and there it was!

The picture frame from before, except much more detailed, and the picture inside it, just like he thought it'd look like. Or like he saw it'd look like when he placed it on top of the previous frame.

Perhaps the practicing bit had served him well, for the current and final frame looked pretty good, in all modesty. And...he was doing okay with the non-verbal stuff too. Which was a bonus, he didn't need to do it that way, after all, no one will ever know, but it felt good. A small form of accomplishment.

Aha. So, now that the gift was done...Treyen put everything back in place, and by everything we mean the pieces of paper that he never used. And the folded one as well. The only thing he'd taken out of his bag was the picture...and it wasn't just a simple picture now...but it still went inside the bag.

He...only needed to add a simple ribbon bow or something and go to Hadley's, where the reasoning behind this particular gift will be unveiled.

And then he left the room.
