[ 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.

But I can take it to the park for you, I don't mind.

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