(After their conversation, Tsurumaru will leave a few tea bags of first harvest tea. The logo on the teabags will reveal it's from a small, traditional shop somewhere in the city that has belonged to the same family for several generations.
Along with the tea is a little jar of colorful konpeito from another shop. It's a newer shop but they take pride in making "traditional sweets" the "old way". Kind of a novelty concept in this era but good enough for Tsurumaru's tastes... which are, admittedly, pretty high quality.)
[It isn't too long until Shousetsu returns to her room near the end of the day, spotting the little gifts almost as soon as she is upon her door. She picks them up with unbridled curiosity in her eyes, admiring the subtle scent of the tea bags. She makes a note to remember the name of the shop on the tag, to browse the selection herself.
The konpeito though... wasn't this expensive? At least it was in Edo, where she had less than a handful of times to try the treat out for herself. It's a cute and charming gift, and yet...
... it almost feels like a gift an older adult would give to a child.
Shousetsu huffs, a smile lifting her lips as she brings the gifts inside, mentally noting to send Lord Tsurumaru a thank you text.

She has some writing to do, it seems.]
