[ If asked, Lion would wholeheartedly admit that they had no idea what to give Michael for Candlenights. But as the day rolls around, there is, somehow, a present waiting outside his door. Except it is decidedly not a cheerfully wrapped box. It is, instead, a small canvas bag, with a note adressed to him pinned to the top.

Inside is the first-aid kit from hell.

Not literally from hell - but if Michael thought Will's borrowed emergency kit in Wonderland was interesting, this is a whole other beast. There is several different bottles of disinfectant. There is superglue. There is, frankly, an obscene number of bandages - and knives, for some reason? And a field suture kit. But nestled under a small vial of hydrochloric acid is a battered book of local remedies, from around Lyrabar. Any entries involving sea quartz have been carefully marked with "no." in the top-right corner.

Opening the note reveals a letter Lion's neat, overly formal handwriting.

"My apologies if you've already made your own since Wonderland, but I remembered that you found Will's first aid kit interesting - so I asked for his help to help make one for you.

We may have gone a little bit overboard.

Happy Candlenights, Michael-san,
- Ushiromiya Lion." ]

Thanks for the kit!
Do humans use hydrochloric acid medicinally, or is that just for offensive use?

[Michael recognized acid immediately, of course, but in his experience humans do not mix well with it.]

[dialetheism]

You're very welcome, Michael-san. I hope it helps.
And I'm personally not sure if it does - as far as I was aware, it's purely hazardous.
But Will had some in his kit so I assumed it was safe to include in yours.
I'll ask him.

[ There's no further response for a good ten or twenty minutes, before- ]

Nevermind.
He dodged the subject by insisting it was important to "be prepared".
So it's likely for offensive purposes or worse.

[ Th-thanks Will...... ]

[eudaimonikos]

I can work with that!

[One can assume Michael is perfectly capable of handling acid and using it appropriately! Hopefully it doesn't end as poorly as his Molotov cocktail idea...]
