[Contrary to everything Leo spouts, Hob gets a package delivered on Christmas eve. Inside is a nice set of claw trimmers, a metal file, comb for his fur, and a nice blade sharpening kit.]
[This is... certainly unexpected. For a long time, Hob considers the items in verklempt silence, gently inspecting the craftsmanship, the detail, the care with which they were picked out. It makes his heart soar, knowing that Leo at some point spared him a thought not out of malice and distrust. What a kind young man. During the whole slumber party later that night, Hob fights to hold back joyful tears.
Leo will similarly find a neatly wrapped package on Christmas morning, waiting for him when he awakens from the slumber party. Hob will be in the kitchen, helping Rue get breakfast ready, should Leo want to talk. If not, that's okay too. He's starting to understand him, if even just a little.]
