( he doesn't celebrate christmas, doesn't do gift-giving. at most, he gets a hanukkah card from ben grimm, which marc has put down to ben not knowing nearly enough jewish superheroes.
(even if he knows jake plays poker with ben.)
at first, he's surprised. he hadn't expected to hear from her again — or at least, not so soon — after their last quote-unquote conversation. he certainly doesn't imagine she'd send him a gift.
once the surprise passes, he thinks there's a chance he might have been wrong about ororo, and it's not the first time the thought's occurred to him, it's just that it goes out the window as soon as they start talking to one another.
he thinks about sending her something in return, but wouldn't know where to begin. instead, he sends her a card. it's simple and handwritten, and the inside consists of a thank you, happy holidays — M.S in printed handwriting, accompanied by a snapshot of it next to the exact plant she'd suggested. )
