Elijah has met Hawksley once. Just once, and he doesn't really remember meeting him, since it had been so long and so brief. So, this said, Elijah doesn't know what to get the guy whose birthday party is the subject of a mass text.
What does one get a total stranger?
Well, there were all sorts of things one could get a near total stranger. Some witty, some clever, some gift cards, but inevitably he settles on baked goods laced with enough pot to make sure a rhino was good and fucking stoned when he finished the pan. That, and a bottle of vodka, because that would get the job done. Utilitarian, generic, and really fucking delicious. That is what one brings a stranger, that is what one does when being the messenger of good will. One brings drugs and booze and something with a godawful sparklie ribbon.
Because ribbons.
