#(He's just startled HAHAH Oh Phantasos)

[kryomonaxia]

On Kanon’s desk is a present box. It looked innocent, nothing suspicious. If Kanon opens it, there is another box in it. If he opens it, there is another box. In fact, there is a smaller box within each box (so think of Matryoshka dolls but with boxes) and if Kanon continues to open until the end, there is a note inside it. The note transforms into a purple butterfly and exploded into pretty but sticky confetti. (lol yeah this is from Phantasos as a Happy Birthday to Kanon)

     Kanon just returned from a patrol around Atlantis. He had just disarmed and was allowing the stress of the day to roll off his shoulders.

     It was his birthday... But he's long ago opted to forego celebrations. After all, if he didn't have his brother.... well, actually, it wasn't important.

     When Kanon was just seconds from rolling onto the in-wall bed, his attention was caught by something on his desk. The Sea Dragon general cautiously stared at it... Perhaps it was something that stupid nymph left for him?

     Somewhat finding comfort at the thought of that, the man heaved a sigh as he walked past his bed. Then he opened it... just to be presented with more boxes... After about two or three times of this, he started to get annoyed. He knew Mariem loved playing tricks from time to time, but she usually wasn't this annoying.

     When he finally got to the note, he didn't have enough patience to read it when it suddenly transformed into a butterfly and exploded.

     He would be a liar if he said that the sudden explosion didn't startle him. He was unprepared - stiff from the shock that he didn't really realize the sticky confetti plastering itself to his face, arms, and hands like glue... It was everywhere.

     The door to his private chambers creaked open, and Mariem peeked curiously while saying,

❝ Is everything alright? I heard you scream...?❞

     When the nymph saw Kanon's sticky situation, she had no intention to restrain her laughter, causing the sticky Hellene to pass her a glare.

     Oh... he'll get this woman back... along with the asshole that pulled this prank on him...
