Honda just glared at them, but he was in no hurry. He was willing to wait till his turn. He and Duke thought long and hard on what to get and came up with their own presents.
Connor and Egan finished with their presents when Heather walked in.
"My king, I hate to disturb you." Heather said.
"It's fine, what can I do for you?"
"Well, I was off-duty and, well, I felt that maybe now was the time to give you the presents from all the maids if it's alright with you."
Seto looked at Connor and Eagan.
"It's fine, my king. We were finished. We were just waiting around in case we were needed." Connor said and glanced towards Honda.
Seto simply nodded, understanding they felt there might be trouble. He wasn't sure why, but wasn't going to question it.
Heather handed Seto his present. Seto opened it to find a bag of hand dipped chocolate with caramel. "My favorite. I appreciate it."
Heather smiled and handed a present to Yami.
Yami opened it to find a basket of mixed nuts. "A whole basket full. Well, this probably won't last long."
"W-what are they, big brother?"
Yami set the basket on the table. "They're different types of nuts. I don't have anything to crack them open with or I'd let you try one."
"Oh, I forgot." Heather said and reached into her pocket and pulled out a nutcracker. "Here you go."
"Thanks." Yami said.
Yami picked up a walnut and cracked it in half, got the good stuff out of it and handed it to Mokuba. He then did the same for Maura.
Mokuba ate it and smiled. Yami could tell he liked it, so he gave him another one. Now it was plain to see that Mokuba loved it. Maura liked it too, just not as much as Mokuba did.
Heather then handed a present to Mokuba.
Mokuba opened it to find marbles and coloring books with markers. "I l-love it! B-but w-what are these?" Mokuba asked, holding up the marbles.
"They're called marbles kiddo. I'm not sure what you can do with them other than roll them around." Seto said.
"I've heard of a couple of games that can be played with them. I'll check around and see what I can come up with." Yami said.
"T-thanks big brother!" Mokuba said.
Heather handed a package to Maura. She opened it to find a light, almost white, yellow tinted silk shirt and skirt, plus matching combs to put in her hair and some silk scarves.
"Oh, I love it! It's great!"
"I hope it fits. We were all in the not-a-clue-as-to-what-to-get zone. A couple of others and I were walking around town and that caught our eye. We thought it'd be perfect."
"It is, and I love it. It's great!" Maura said.
"Well, I'm happy you like it. I must be going now. It's about time for my shift to start." Heather said, leaving.
Honda then approached and said, "Here my king, this is for you."
Seto took it and opened it to find 4 small wooden plaques with everyone's names on them.
"This is very nice Honda."
Honda smiled. "Thank you, my king."
Honda then handed one to Yami.
Yami opened it to find a large wood carving of the Blue Eyes White Dragon, the Dark Magician and the Baby Dragon. "This is great! I love it! It's terrific. I'll have to find a place for it."
"I'm so happy you like it, Master Atemu. I was afraid it wouldn't be good enough."
"No, it's great."
Connor and Eagan were very suspicious. They couldn't figure out his angle. Why was he being so nice?
Honda gave an eerie smile and turned to Mokuba. "This one's yours kid."
Mokuba didn't like him and that smile only made it worse. He walked over and unwrapped the tall present. He was shocked to find a small suit of armor.
"Why a suit of armor?" Seto asked.
"He'll never need that." Yami said.
"He could wear it as protection." Honda said.
Mokuba already had a small fear of enclosed places that he never told anyone about and he had a feeling that that thing would drive him up the wall.
Honda smiled at Mokuba. "Come now kid, try it on."
Mokuba whimpered and shook his head while backing up into Seto. The moment he felt Seto, he turned and clutched the side of his pants and stayed there, refusing to go any closer.
Seto wasn't sure what the problem was, but couldn't really blame the kid. He'd worn armor a time or two and hated it. He looked up to see the evil-like glare he was giving Mokuba. He nudged Yami and he nodded, noticing it too.
"What's wrong, kid?" Honda asked.
"He doesn't want to wear it." Yami said. "Just move on and forget it."
Honda didn't like it but said, "Very well. Here you go Miss." Honda said while handing Maura her gift.
Maura opened it to find a small hand-held whip.
