To the Most Esteemed Master Shoto Todoroki

I must confess I am a stranger to "Christmas" but I have intuited it to be a gift giving occasion. I have read Esa your message and presented her with your offerings. Consequently she has given me leave to bestow upon you her messenger stone. You see, special cats like Esa from my world are capable of giving tokens of their regard. They can hear your words and mind through these totems, no matter how far apart you may be. Hold this stone in your hand and know that she will hear you as if she were in the room with you. Of course, I trust you understand that Esa will always be a cat, and cats are wont to do as they wish always, in manners that often remain mysterious to us.

Feel free to come and knock on my door any time for a walk, or just to talk to someone who is a sailor just a bit older than you. If I am available, trust that I will make myself available to you. I thank you for your consideration, and so does Esa.

Enclosed is a small, white statuette of a cat. It is made of some sort of white stone, with the eyes a lavender shade. It looks just like a curled up Esa, perfect for a palm to squeeze.
