Sam had to admit, the socks weren't exactly the most practical gift and are quite awkward of him under these circumstances and even though he didn't want to bore them with his analysises, it was the only way he knew to somewhat reduce this awkwardness.

"I know it's a rather absurd present, but I have my reasons." He said, rubbing his hand on the back of his neck as he spoke. "You see...I confess, I was a little stumped in my decisions. I wanted to give you something special that's not too practical, but not too complicated. Socks was what came up, I was wary but found reasons I should carry it out. I know how you love going on woodland walks and boots to me seem uncomfortable without them, might as well give you extra protection against those pesky insects and snakes on the forest floor. I chose the best cloth I could find within budget so they could withstand the miles and miles of treking without tearing, overheating in the summer or being too breazy in winter. Oh and in the long run, the socks do help in prevention of vericrose veins. You know, those not so pretty lumps and lines one gets from standing for a long period of time on a frequent basis? Photograhpers such as yourself stand a lot in order to the best angle in your shots, don't you? I'm hoping that's a reasonable explanation." Sam shrugged and tilted his head to the side, his face was as red a tomato. "The decorative patterns were desigined specifically for you, as for size, do tell me if it's too big or small or anything once you try them on, not sure if it fits. I was only able to sew according to estimates and an existing template lying around in the shop, hope the strechiness is enough. After all, it'd be rude of me to question a lady of her size under casual circumstances. There's a guarantee in the box, so that means I'm happy to make any necessary tweaks. Well, I'd do that anyway if requested, with or without the tag, really." Trying to back himself up, he changed the subject to the lenses. "Those lenses? Rather the practical addition. Would prefer to find those compatible for your existing camera but I wasn't sure of its exact model. One thing I do know is we all have MirrorPhones or MIrrorPAds or whatever, which is why I chose them. They come with a variety of effects I think you'll find useful..."

No sooner had he ended his monolouge than a knock came on the door. Actually, three to be exact. "I'll get it." Sam stood up and went to get the door. Calli said there weren't any other guests invited, either she had forgotten some of the invitees or it was someone else who also remembered what day this was, so came to visit and present their own appreciation for her. He turned the handle, pulled it in to see...

''A girl. ''

It's inevitible for a girl to show up. After all, this is a girl's birthday, of course other girls would appear. Sam was briefly dumbstruck, not because of love at fisrt sight as one might think but rather because of the whole deal about how he just went all poindexter about socks. The new girl would think he's some sick bastard or something giving Quinn socks."Oh poppycock!" He muttered and slapped himself on the lips. "Excuse me. Em, greetings fair maid. You must be here for Miss Schauer, aren't you? She's been expecting company, you're welcome to come in and join us. Right this way." He lend a hand to show her the little party that had been going on.
