Oh, let it be a surprise for both of you! Whatever it is, just act as
natural as you always do.
[It's a gift card for "Sexy Kat's Lingerie"; normally he'd
disapprove of any establishment that sultry, but the puzzle had been done
and the prize won. He had to use it for something.]
Ahah, don't be silly Demyx. Of course it's the present day!
Heh, shows what you know! Hers is April seventh. Put it to memory, now.
[As if Ted would let him forget. There's a mild frown at Demyx's
holiday antipathy, but it gets replaced by a snicker quickly.]
Ahaha, did he put coal in your stocking? I wouldn't be surprised. Assuming
you're talking of the real Santa, and not an impostor-
[Yes, that implies Ted's met fake holiday figures. Don't
ask.]
-then what you're describing is impossible. "Santa" is a way of saying
"saint"; that's as far from a "jerk" as one could possibly be. Well, unless
you're a heretic or something.
[ARE YOU A HERETIC, DEMYX!?]
Ahaha, well, she does have her heart back. Doubtless she's trying to put
it to good use.
[Also because she wuuuuvs u but Ted won't mention that.]
If that's the case, why not be nice in kind? That present could be just the
thing.
[Demyx it's like you're not even trying for this OTP. Oh well; good
thing he's here to try enough for both of you!]
I'd advise the other thing, unless you'd like to occupy a permanent spot on
his naughty list.
Eheh, I won't, for anything you "start" on hagiography I'll be more than
happy to finish.
[Don't mess with the saints Demyx, or he'll talk them up so fast
it'll make your mullet spin.]
Wonderful! Remember, I've naught to do with any of this. The exchange may
just as well have never happened. I look forward to hear about her
reception in the meantime. Good afternoon!
[He waves and trots off, feeling very pleased. May Cupid's arrows
strike true.]

[rimshot]
Let me know how it goes, won't you?
no subject
[He's just confused.]
Uh, yeah I guess.
no subject
[An odd question that receives an odd head tilt. He can do that too.]
...well, is there any reason not to give her a present?
no subject
Will this help?
no subject
Oh. Goodness, that's disconcerting. Why ever not? I should think you'd do so at least on each other's birthdays or Christmas.
[Uh oh. Is his ship on the rocks?]
Weird? How so?
no subject
[If she does, he doesn't know it.]
I don't like Christmas, Santa is a jerk.
[He pouts, it's a story Ted, don't ask.]
She's being nice to me. That's weird. I don't understand it.

I'm not gonna remember that.
Yeah yeah, Santa is a jerk, he wouldn't bring me any presents. Someday I'll get him back.
[Demyx, no, that won't help any. Santa won't respond to threats.]
Ugh, saints, don't get me started on that.
[He's a huge heretic, Ted.]
It's weird, but okay, I'll give it to her.
