[ Pom will get two packages that are obviously from Mel, if only because her initials are on them. The first is heavy, and looking inside will be a set of tanning tools and a new set of needles and thread. There are two cards in there for an IOU to two shops for various fabric if he might need it, paid off by Mel, so he needn't worry about cost.
The second package is smaller: within is a leather-bound bracelet, long, so it can easily stretch when shifting without snapping. There's a kind of pattern on the one side of reds and golds, like little beads of paint, after someone's carved something simple in it. But on the inside, down by where one would likely tie it off, is an engraving in gold of a wolf and a bird, looking like they're racing each other. ]
Your friendship is invaluable to me. I hope you never forget that. ~MM
[In good news, he knows how to read just enough these days to recognize the initials, and even if he can't decipher the message itself, he understands it all the same as he runs his fingers over the engraving. The tools are appreciated; the needles and thread and cards both pleasant and pragmatic. But the bracelet, made with such care that he can wear it all the time, bearing an image of one of his better memories from this place? That's truly something special.
He'll be wearing that next time he sees Mel, and every other time from then on. He wouldn't part with it for the entire world.]
