"Eh?" Seiji blinked in surprise. "No… this isn't a present. It's just a drawing of mine that turned out pretty nice, so I thought I'd to show you. Of course, if you want this, you can keep it. But I think that this drawing is still insufficient to qualify as a present. If you want me to create a drawing of you for your Winter Snow Festival present, I'll do my very best to draw an even better one. How does that sound?"
"I think that this drawing is already good enough," Shika said in a gentle voice as her eyes flashed with a hard-to-read light. "But… I also want an even better drawing as well."
"Understood." Seiji nodded. "I shall draw something even better and give it to you at the Winter Snow Festival!"
And so, the present to give his cute adopted sister for the Winter Snow Festival was decided upon.
...
'So cute.' Kaede truly believed that the child currently holding her hand was worthy of these words.
