He hadn't lectured her yet and he wasn't sure if he was going to or not. He assumed she realized by now how crazy it had been to run into that situation like that. While she probably had the potential to be a powerful magic user, she had to, you know, learn some spells first. And even with a magic specialty, weapon skills were still helpful since sometimes spell casting just wasn't good for the situation.

"Merry Christmas!" He went right over to the counter once he knew Namine was there, digging her gift out of his magically deep pockets as he did. He'd been a bit uncertain for a while on what exactly to get her. He couldn't go too expensive on anyone's gifts unless he wanted to leave someone out, but he didn't want to be cheap either if he could help it. After a stretch, he settled on a book of origami patterns and some paper to start with.
