Kobra was hiding behind his sunglasses again, but it was obvious that he looked at least marginally less sick than before the new year. The tree he'd gotten from Briar was standing safely beside him where he was sitting by the beach, still not willing to stay anywhere inside.

"Um. Hi." He waves awkwardly at the tablet. "I just...just wanted to say thank you again." He hadn't gotten presents like this in ages, out in the zones you got maybe a new gun or a shirt or something, when it was available. "I'm working on getting your gifts ready." the corners of his lips quirked into a tiny smile. He'd managed to set recording equipment up, now he only needed to actually find the music he wanted. It didn't seem too popular in Taxon. Or to exist, really.

"Party? Where are you?" Kobra was still sulking, all right, but he had promised to share the gifts with Party. "We...we got presents. C'mere so we can open them."

Although he was still hiding behind his sunglasses, Kobra was in better health than he'd been when they'd last spoken and that was good sign. She grinned at her friend.

"You're welcome. I hope you like them."

After a great deal of thought, DG had given Party Poison a sketch book and set of pencils. Kobra Kid had been much easier to think of a present for. She'd given him a scarf and gloves, a new motorbike helmet and the promise that he could borrow her bike whenever he wanted or needed it.

Briar smiles at how close Kobra is keeping the shakkan. He definitely chose the right person to give the tree to. "You're welcome. It's always nice to be able to give one of those to someone who'll really appreciate it. I know it's in good hands."
