[If Victor's situation were comparable to a 12 step program, showing that he acknowledges, and more importantly values the people he's met in Wonderland, whether friend, acquaintance, or something in between, would probably be one of the steps. Christmas gifts had seemed like the appropriate gesture, as well as an admirable distraction from dreamwalking. A simple solution to a two-pronged problem.
Throughout this thought process, it hadn't really occurred to him that other people might be putting the same amount of thought into him, and as such Rebekah's gift comes as something of a surprise what with... you know, everything.
Victor isn't sure how much Rebekah actually knows of what'd been going on in the dreams--that Rebekah had been affectionate, putting it in the nicest and simplest way--and he isn't really inclined to open that can of worms by talking about it. What happens in future dream Wonderland stays in future dream Wonderland. Still, it's an incredibly thoughtful gift and he spends an undue amount of time debating if he should send a text message to thank her.
But... can. Worms. He's too tired to think this out clearly without making a big knot of it in his head.
In the end, when he goes to deliver his own gifts in the following days, Victor decides to merely leave an extra line in his card to her--a 'thank you' and an expression of his wish to return the favor.
There. This is the behavior of a mature adult male, right? Right? Why is everything hard.]
