[ Twas the night before Christmas, and all through the house... one particular vampire was spening his "day" (night) trying to beat Saltburn's tendency to make it difficult to get where you wanna go, so as to drop off gifts.
Daniel isn't looking to get waylaid in the awkward thanks of a direct handover, especially since he's pretty sure most of these people won't have gotten him anything in return. (Don't feel bad. He's also the kind of boomer to mail out Christmas cards to his nephew and dentist and old friend from college.)
So while he'll slip into the rooms of people he can hear are asleep (or can't hear at all), fellow night owls will get the servant who opens their curtains and announces breakfast also bringing in the gift left on the doorstep.
The gift is neatly wrapped and tagged with a generic Merry Christmas label that says From: DM. It contains a bottle of rosé, some gingerbread, and a plastic bottle of valerian root and chamomile capsules. There is also a second gift in non-Xmas wrapping that says HAPPY BIRTHDAY HAPPY BIRTHDAY on it containing a 2005 Hobonichi Techno.
Watch him surreptitiously not mention this at all next time they meet up to swap notes. Santa who? ]
