[Astro may be new to the Glenwood household, but to Rose that's all the more reason to make sure he feels included. Yet choosing an appropriate gift isn't quite so easy as it is for her traveling companions without knowing much about him or his interests. She doesn't want to get him some generic doodah or socks or such... That leaves a present personalized from her side.]
[Which is why come Shepmas Christmas morning, Astro will find a couple smallish packages waiting for him. The first is a cat care package, including a number of toys both store-bought and handmade, the latter being easy to tell apart by the uneven shape and threads sticking out. Inside the second is one of Rose's simpler daggers with an embroidered charm of sorts attached to the sheath. The note included offers an explanation: "Welcome to the family, Astro! Dezel mentioned you've had a bit of a rough time in your life. Hopefully these will make things easier if similar circumstances find you again. The charm is inscribed for luck and protection, but I'd be happy to teach you how to defend yourself just in case. ~Rose"]
