[On the morning of the 25th, wherever the hell Melan's staying, there is a nicely wrapped package, with a written letter tucked in at the top, next to a large ribbon.
Inside his present though is a drawing of Melan and Papyrus together, having a grand old time. The drawing is… semi-decent. Also, there's a bowl of spaghetti. Said spaghetti is likely cold by now. Sorry.
Opening the letter reveals a maybe somewhat familiar font, which says:]
MELANBLUE,
HELLO!! I DON'T KNOW IF YOU KNOW WHAT CHRISTMAS IS, BUT IT'S A HOLIDAY MONSTERS (AND APPARENTLY HUMANS????) CELEBRATE WHERE EVERYONE GIVES EACH OTHER GIFTS IN HONOR OF BEING THEIR FRIEND. AT FIRST I WAS GOING TO TRY AND GET YOU A HAT BUT I REALIZED THERE PROBABLY AREN'T ANY BIG ENOUGH, SO I JUST DREW YOU A PICTURE OF YOU IN A HAT INSTEAD. SADLY, I AM NOT THE KIND OF MONSTER THAT CAN CRY TEARS INTO THE SHAPE OF A HAT FOR YOU. THAT WOULD BE GHOSTS.
[ how did you manage to find him, Papyrus?! Whatever, that's not important. What is important is that Melan successfully receives this parcel. Not used to receiving letters or packages, he's at first worried that it's a bomb or something, but it becomes obvious very quickly that it's nothing of the sort. He's quick to take the box and the letter and take it with him someplace quieter.
It's hard to reach Melan, emotionally, but opening the present and reading the letter do manage it, even if it's only a little bit. There's a pleasant buzz in his chest at seeing the picture, and the declaration of friendship, even if he has no idea what Papyrus is talking about as far as hats and ghost tears go. Months ago, he wouldn't have imagined interacting with anybody outside of his mission, but... he's glad that he did. Making friends is such a pleasant feeling.
Also, he sees that he got food! Which, of course, he devours right away. ]
Papyrus. Thank you for the message. I was happy to receive it. However, my internal organ functions had an adverse reaction to the noodles. I think that I am allergic.
YOU KNOW, I WAS A LITTLE WORRIED THAT YOU WOULDN'T BE ABLE TO EAT IT. I WASN'T SURE IF ROBOTS COULD PROCESS CARBOHYDRATES. IT'S OKAY! I'LL FIND SOMETHING I CAN COOK THAT YOU'LL BE ABLE TO EAT!!
That's a highly toxic substance. It may take several days for my internal organs to return to 100% functionality. Please don't put battery acid in food.
