It was a few days before Christmas, and since Eliott would be leaving tomorrow she figured she should get those gifts out of the way.

She'd deliver Piper's gifts later. She had her own to give right now.

She's making final adjustments in the science lab, having left Mark a note to come find her whenever he had time. She's not sure he has a phone so it was just stuck to his door. She also told him to bring the bracers.

He definitely doesn't have a phone.

Soon, Mark walks into the lab, wearing the bracelets as instructed before looking for Eliott.

"Eliott?"

Eliott doesn't even look up from her work, twirling a small screwdriver between her fingers.

"Oh good, you made it." She grunts, snapping the object in front of her together.

"Come stand here." She points next to her.

"Understood."

Mark does so, walking over quickly and standing in place.

He watches her curiously, trying to figure out what she's working on!

Unless he notices they are visually similar to his bracers, it wasn't completely obvious.

Eliott finally glances over, just to look at his arms.

"Good you brought them." She says, before picking up one of the items and holding it towards him....with some difficulty,

"They're the ones you asked for....for your legs," she explains.

Mark holds out his arms when she mentions them, as if if confirming her statement, and Eliott can probably see that he has them set to level three at the moment.

He goes to take the device from her.

"Thank you, Eliott."

He says, holding it in his hands for a moment before looking up at her again.

"...but I don't have a gift for you."

Three and he's still standing. That was good. Well on his way of tackling five again,

Eliott would look away with an angry look on her face.

"I don't...need a gift, okay!? It's fine."

She takes the other leg weight device and holds it towards him, too. One for each leg.

"Understood."

Mark takes the second device, then starts strapping both of them on, just under his pants at the heel.

"I will not give you gifts, then."

He assumes she means ever.

She doesn't but won't admit to it.

"Y...yeah..."

"You seem hesitant."

He casually observes as he stands up straight again.

"It's not like I would hate it, is all!" She blurts, crossing her arms.

"You don't need a gift, but you want one?"

Mark shrugs slightly.

"Understood."

"That's not what I.....whatever."

She looks less frustrated at least!

"The ankle weights should be synced to the bracers. But if you want them at different weights they also have their own dial." She grumbles, changing the subject.

"Do they turn on when the wristbands turn on?"

He's a simple man, and technology is strange to him.

"And what kinds of gifts do you want?"

"They do."

Boy does she know how simple he is.

She suddenly looks flustered again, "What!? I...I don't know!?"

He's so pleased.

"...I will use my judgement then."

This is a scary concept, both in that he feels somewhat uneasy at the idea as he wants to do it properly, as well as the fact that he doesn't usually "buy" anything.

"GOOD."

She's not sure why she's still being confrontational but she is.

"It's better that way. That's why I didn't ask you before I made yours."

"Judgement is preferred."

Mark nods, reinforcing the idea.

"Are surprises preferred as well?"

She gives a hard sigh.

"Yes. When you give someone a surprise gift, they're usually excited or grateful. They smile or scream or sometimes even cry. Have you never given a gift or what?!"

He seriously considers that question for a moment.

"...no, I haven't."

He furrows his eyebrows as he looks at her.

"Was my reaction to your gifts appropriate?"

"For someone like you? I guess so. You were on the floor when you thanked me."

Not exactly kissin her feet so much as he messed up with the settings, but it was good enough.

"On the floor is preferred, then?"

For a guy who's been taught to be proud, he doesn't seem to realize what doing that would be seen as.

She wants to say no but there's something amusing about that.

"Maybe it is..."
