Gifts to Friends and Secretest of Santas - Target Jean Kirschstein
Not knowing very much about his Secret Santa target's affections, Asgore decided to go with something he can do well, but which he feels that nearly anyone could enjoy.
He has put together a tea blending set with a variety of teas -- black, green, white, chai, rooibos -- and tea accents -- candied ginger, cornflower, safflower, orange peel, cinnamon, etc -- especially for one Jean Kirschstein. There is a beautifully handwritten list of suggested mixes depending on moods and tastes. It's all done up in an overly-large walnut box with glass jars nestled in velvet-lined cubbyholes, and number of silver measuring spoons. Basically what I'm saying is it's classy af. You can tea for days with this, son.
Frisk: Gets a handwritten note that says "Upon presentation, the bearer is to be presented with one (1) free hug; no purchase necessary, may be redeemed multiple times." Frisk also gets a blend of tea especially for them called "Determination." It tastes like peppermint and also somehow the flavor of tem flakes(tm). There is also a serviceable pencil drawing of a large goat man playing baseball with a marshmallow nubbin shaped child.
Chara: Gets a handwritten note that says "Upon presentation, the bearer is to be presented with one (1) free hug; no purchase necessary, may be redeemed multiple times." Chara also gets a blend of tea especially for them called "Dreemurr Sibling Blend (C)." It tastes like cinnamon and butterscotch and chocolate. There is also a macaroni art of a large goat person standing next to a smaller human child.
Asriel: Gets a handwritten note that says "Upon presentation, the bearer is to be presented with one (1) free hug; no purchase necessary, may be redeemed multiple times." Asriel also gets a blend of tea especially for him called "Dreemurr Sibling Blend (A)." It tastes like cinnamon and butterscotch. There is also an adequately rendered crayon drawing of Asriel with the caption "world's son-iest son."
Alphys: Gets a blend of tea especially for her called "Mew Mew Kissy Kitty Blend." It tastes like popato chisps and ramen flavor packets, somehow.
Mettaton: Gets a blend of tea especially for him called "GLAMBURGER." It's 50% black tea, 50% sequins.
Papyrus: Gets a blend of tea especially for him called "Royal Guard Blend (P)" It tastes like tomato sauce and garlic, somehow.
Sans: Gets a blend of tea especially for him called "Royal Guard Blend (S)." When you open it up, it's a pair of socks with cups of tea on them.
Undyne: Gets a note that reads "I hear you've come here but I haven't seen you around. Please, come visit me soon." She also gets a blend of tea especially for her called "Royal Guard Blend (U)." It tastes like Sea Tea. Very marshy.
Toriel: Gets a note that reads "It was very nice to be able to talk with you again, even if it was only because of those cookies. Please do take care. - Asgore."
Tim the Human: Gets a blend of tea especially for him called "Tim's Breakfast Blend." It tastes like coffee and donuts, which is probably not what you were expecting.

ACTION - It's happening. Its happening right now.
ACTION - SWEET
[Jean didn't get knocks on his door very often (people tended to contact each other with the communicators before visiting each other) so he nearly jumped in his seat at his desk when Asgore did. But he got up and opened his door with military punctuality.]
[Jean came up to the middle of Asgore's chest. And that was being generous. He had to take a step back from the threshold so he could actually see the giant goat dad's face. Thankfully, he had met other anthropomorphic creatures in the Mansion, like Rocket and Mae, so his appearance wasn't terribly startling, even if none of them were as huge as the monster king.]
Uhh... [Because this moment still deserved a second of dumbfounded silence.] Can I help you?
Sorry I was traveling a lot between Christmas and New Years
::He smiles as pleasantly as he can, which is genuinely very pleasantly.::
No problem!
[To be honest, Jean was having such a hard time figuring out a present for his own Secret Sant-ee that he totally forgot participating meant he would get a present from a stranger as well.]
It slipped my mind I'd be getting anything. [He eyed the package underneath Asgore's arm. It was pretty big.] And it's Jean. [He pronounced his own name correctly for him.] The soft way.

I am afraid that I did not know much about you, so I tried to select something that I felt that nearly anyone could enjoy.
Would you... care to have it?
::He holds your very large gift out in front of him expectantly.::

[The box itself was beautiful, and he would have been satisfied just with a nice box to put his things in, but when he opened that, he was hit with a cornucopia of delights. For one, it assaulted him with smells, all pleasant-- woody, herbaceous, spiced, sharp and citrusy-- and then all the little bottles! The velvet inlay, the silver spoons! It was a gift fit for a king, quite literally, and he felt unworthy to hold it in his hands.]
This is... [Holy fuck, where do you even begin? Jean just drew a portrait for his Sant-ee!] I... Shit, I've never ever held something this nice before. Are you sure it's okay?
no subject
::He gives a sudden sigh of something approximating relief::
I cannot tell you how glad I am that you are not a robot or a ghost, though. I suppose until I arrived at your door that I did not consider the possibility of you being incapable of drinking liquids.
no subject
Yeah, I'm... [Sorry about the stuttering, he'll get over it in a minute.] I'm just a human. I can drink tea. It's actually kind of a huge luxury where I'm from.
no subject
::There's a strange sort of similarity between your lives, Jean. Trapped inside of a place for forever.::
no subject
No, it'll grow. It's just, like, there's so many mouths to feed and only so much land, we're planting potatoes instead of stuff like tea.

[Ah, he was rambling. Jean shook his head.]
Thanks a lot for this. Seriously, it's fit for a king.

[Jean's experiences with royalty, aside from their own Historia, were entirely awful. But this giant goat man seemed like a good guy, especially to give such a thoughtful gift... And he decided to let that "before my death" thing slide, because he's heard it before from different people, and it was probably a tough subject, when this exchange was supposed to be light-hearted.]
You've definitely got the stature...

[Yeah, Jean's aware of the Undertale cast. There certainly are enough of you guys!]

[Jean can't help but laugh.]
Not surprised that didn't turn out well. I think Sans goes out of his way to do nothing whenever he can get away with it. And Papyrus seems pretty easily distracted.

It is, indeed, very nice to have many of my former subjects here. Tell me, do you have any friends from your home here with you, Jean Kirschstein?
no subject
No. And I've been here awhile. [He shook his head.] But I learned that a long time ago, a lot of them were here though. I used the communicator to search back and read about everything they did. I looks like I just ended up here too late.
