[It takes talking to Sally to put the puzzle together, but Jon will eventually get a (bust up) selfie of Peter wearing the broach, a faint smile on his lips.

...He'll also probably notice the fact that there are a few streaks of gray at Peter's temples that certainly weren't there the last time they spoke. With the picture:]

It's lovely.
Thank you Jon.

[compellingstatement]

[Jon's very confused as to how Peter actually figured that out, but the man does look nice with the broach pinned on. He can't deny that.]

How did you figure it out?
I thought I was being subtle for once.

[rosebyanyother]

I don't think I would have made the connection if my contract partner wasn't from Earth as well. She mentioned that magpies have been historically connected to thieves.
I had my suspicions after that.

It was very clever, though.

[compellingstatement]

Oh. I didn't think about your partner.
Right.
Well, it looks good on you.
I expected most things would.

[rosebyanyother]

You're not wrong.
But I like this. The little gem it's carrying is charming.

[compellingstatement]

[Jon really doesn't know what else to say. This is part of why he tries to keep his gifts anonymous.]

Well, Merry Christmas or solstice or whatever it is they celebrate in winter in the future.

[rosebyanyother]

It depends largely on where in the galaxy you're talking about. I believe some of the solar planets still celebrate the old holidays. I'm sure they do especially on Earth.
Merry Christmas, Jon.

[He's assuming.]
