[ This has been an emotionally draining few weeks for Rin. He notes how tired she just even though she refused to outright display any weakness in front of him. Kirei is fully aware that her title of sixth head of Tohsaka family has forced her to keep contact with him -- and by extension, Jeanne Alter.

As her legal guardian, he is aware he should do something to lower her unease and stress.
Yes, he could buy her some small trinket with the small amount of silver he has acquired. It would help to ease the tension between them a marginal some but still --

Or, he could buy something he knows she is obligated to take that purposely puts stress on her. Yes, he knows what he is going to do, but likes pretend there was another option. ]

Pardon me, everyone. I am attempting to buy a gift for one of my housemates, as it were.

I have only ever bought her gifts for birthdays and holidays and so I have no idea what to get for a 'just because.' Normally, I would think a new cellphone would be a kind gift but... well, I doubt I will find that here. In any case, what would be best?

[ Unless someone knows something he does not. ]

Major General Olivier Armstrong. [Not that Amestris is around or anything, but she earned that damn rank thank you very much.] And I'm not sure it's rude, but it can be annoying.

[congratulating]

I shall attempt to keep it to a minimum then, Major General. [ He won't. He enjoys needling people. It's what he takes small joys in. ] Major General. That is quite the title. You must have worked hard for it. Was it difficult for you?

[wallofbriggs]

[As long as he and Mustang never meet she'll be fine.]

No more difficult than for anyone else. I'm sure some might have found an easy way to through the ranks but it always shows in the end.

[congratulating]

Indeed.

The inept are always found out. It only is unfortunate when it is in ranks such as yours since it means their weakness and ill-fit is usually only found after bloodshed. [ A beat. ] So you could say it was no more difficult than anyone else, but I doubt that it is. You humble yourself, and there is no need.

[wallofbriggs]

Considering our country was at, or on the verge of war since it was founded, bloodshed isn't really an indicator of much. [And please, there's no such thing as a humble Armstrong.] I assure you I am not. Unless you think my being a woman made it more difficult for me?
