[Lucifer holds up one of the little tea cups, examining it and its paint job critically. He has more paint on his hands and arms than the entire tea set has combined.]

I still can't tell if this is supposed to be a turtle or a... what, an elephant? Is that a trunk?

[The world may never know. He sets it down carefully with the other items.]

Now what, Kisuke? Wait for him to find them?

[At least Lucifer has warmed up a bit through this little activity.]

_{[That gets Lucifer a conspiratorial grin before he gives him a final tug so that he's in the living room before bouncing in front of Break, tapping him on the nose (much like one would press the 'on' button for something) as he surreptitiously handed the present back over to Ukitake so that he and Unohana could set it back onto the coffee table without Break seeing.]}

Are you more awake now, Break-san?

_{[He'll keep tapping until you are.]}

[And with the package handed off to him, Ukitake glides over to the coffee table and gently sets down the gift, all the while smiling pleasantly. Apparently Urahara's excitement is contagious!]

Ah, be nice, Urahara-san.

You're all here. And not killing each other.

Did someone die?

I think we'd be more prone to violence if someone had. We're all a little "touchy" that way.

[Lucifer swats Urahara's hand away from Break's nose, and sits on the counter to watch.]

Kisuke? Do you want to-

[Get that lumpy package?]

_{[Not even pausing to pout at Lucifer, Urahara dances out of the way for Break to see the package. The wrapping paper is giraffe-themed for some reason, maybe a little faded and wrinkled, and definitely lumpified, but he's still excited nonetheless.]}

We decided to make you a little something~♥!

[Ukitake just holds his hands in front of himself, excited to see how Break will react, and hoping he'll like their efforts, however patched together or rushed.]

...you made me something?

[He takes a half step closer. This is a lot of grinning, and a lot of him being the centre of attention, not because of his own trolling. He doesn't quite know how to proceed.]

[However nerve-wracking this is for Lucifer, he wonders if Break will be able to recognize their efforts. Unohana's perfect flowers, Ukitake's colours. And...er, the rest.

He surprises himself a bit when he urges:]

Open it.

_{[Lots of nodding from this end of the table.

Someone is very excited.]}

[He looks up at Ukitake and Unohana, the two (reasonably) sane people in the room.]

Should I-?

I assure you, it is perfectly safe.

It's a present for me?

[Going forward, picking the box up tentatively.]

[Lucifer slides off the counter; the excitement is pleasantly contagious. He peers over Break's shoulder, close enough to whisper.]

Open it~

_{[Break, if you don't hurry up, Urahara will end up whacking you with a pillow.

Or throwing paint at you, whichever.]}

[He works slowly, unwrapping it like a bomb about to go off.

It's so delicate and pretty and fragile. He can see the workmanship in each cup.

His heart just about stops in his chest.]
