#this was a tricky answer because Chuu regards most things so flippantly OR with high suspicions and it’s a toss up on which way it goes

Psst hey how does Tangy react to surprise gifts? Also Chuu! Because I said so!

Tangy gets so !!!!!! Cos you thought about her and got her something 🥹 (she’s a pick-up kinda hugger, I think, sometimes more excited about the person who gave her something than the thing itself, at least at first)

Then she also worries she forgot some kinda holiday/event/her own birthday (I SHOULDA GOTTEN SOMETHIN FOR YOU TOO >:0!!!! STAY THERE… HOLD ON…) (she is rifling through her things to gift something nice in return !!! Even if it’s like. Aetherically preserved hairpiece flowers or some of the snacks she’d been saving for later lol)

Chuu …. If you want to surprise Chuu with something you gotta make sure she’s paying attention, otherwise she just. Doesn’t realize. She’s like that emotionally distant parent that kinda goes ‘that’s nice honey’ if she’s distracted by something. (Though I sincerely believe if you dropped a little mechanical toy on her workbench as a surprise gift, no boxes or ribbons she’d grill you with a thousand questions on its origin, take it apart, put it back together but now it does something it couldn’t before, and then look SO pleased with herself. She likes Mechanical Puzzles.)

…. I think she also has a sincere concern that, for some reason, SOMEONE would attempt a mail-in assassination via explosive gift box.
