#knives spends six hours agonizing over the right response

[millionsnife]

Shrike had no idea what to actually get for Knives - the idea of giving him anything at all on a day like today felt, in some ways, like he was betraying the man who had raised him until this point. But he was trying to move on - get better - like Knives said. So, Shrike settled on a simple card, illustrated with flowers in flowing black pen ( he might’ve nabbed a set the last time they were in town ). He left it in the kitchen for Knives to find and then disappeared off to his bedroom closet, nervous to see his adoptive father’s reaction. / @butchersbird

He wasn't expecting anything today; he's actually forgotten today was even a holiday of some sort. The card's cute though. Now he just has to figure out if he's supposed to do something in answer; should he say thank you? Maybe do something nice?

Does Shrike want him to acknowledge it?
