[ They don't set a specific time, so she can only assume it's supposed to be as soon as possible. So gathering her things, she hurries to go meet him. ]
[Mogget moves quickly since the roads and paths that bipeds need to take don't tend to ever stand in his way. He reaches the inn quickly, perching himself on a windowsill off the chilly road and curling his tail around his front paws.
No one seems to really notice him there, but anyone who happens to watch him from a distance for more than a couple of minutes might realise he is employing small bursts of Light magic to divert attention away from himself.]
[ Amy arrives soon enough, carrying a basket on one arm, its contents covered with a white cloth. She doesn't notice him immediately, both because he's a white cat and its snowy as well as him using his magic to remain unnoticed. But she does eventually spot him and hurries over. ]
[The cat lets out an involuntary 'chirp!' as he's greeted and he stands up, stretching languidly before he turns her attention to her properly.]
Hello. [He sniffs the air and peers down at the basket, then hops from the sill and on to Amy's shoulder. Somehow, he manages to balance there without digging his claws into her clothing.]
[ Though a little surprised as Mogget perches on her shoulder, she still smiles as she glances at him, pulling back the cloth a bit to reveal part of a fresh fish. ]
[She has a fairly narrow shoulder to balance on but he manages it, and he manages to turn around to look at the gift without whacking his tail into her face. The way his pupils dilate gives him away, and the twitching of his small pink nose as he sniffs at the fish.]
A gift?
[His front paws knead very gently at her shoulder.]
[ She grins a little to herself, pleased by the reaction. ] It's for Christmas! I don't know if you celebrate it where you're from, but it's a holiday where people give each other gifts. So I wanted to get you something.
[He's still sniffing at the 'gift' and kneading his paws very gently into her shoulder, clearly eager for all that he's trying to maintain an air of composure.]
What a strange idea for a holiday. Do you not give gifts at any other time?
[ The kneading of his paws tickles a little bit, and with a soft giggle she kneels down, placing the basket on the ground so he has easier access to it. ]
We do. Technically you can give a gift to someone whenever you'd like. But giving people gifts on Christmas and their birthdays are just kind of a tradition.
[With the basket on the ground he hops down beside it, circles around it, then sets to investigating the contents.]
I'm familiar with the tradition of birthday gifts. [Though it doesn't really make much sense to him, he does understand that it's a thing that happens. Mogget was not born and therefore has no birthday, and so it does not apply to him.]
[ Amy pulls back the rest of the cloth, showing a decently-sized fish that up the entire length of the basket. ]
Honestly, I couldn't really tell you how it all started. But it's just one of those traditions to give gifts to people, just to show that you care and appreciate them.
[That is... a very nice looking fish. Mogget does appreciate the gesture even without understanding it, but in his way is not too overt about said appreciation.]
Then I thank you. For the gift, and the... affection.
[Mogget pauses then, considering. Despite having secured a few places where he's free to slip into a window at night or when it's cold, he doesn't actually have a permanent residence.]
I have no home here. If you would like to share it with me, we can move to a park.

That's acceptable. Lead the way.
Shall we wrap this here?
