[It might be part of her current job - that is, something she's doing for (easy) money - but Maki is the first person to come to mind when she finally gets around to sending out her own letters. So several days after the job is posted, Maki will be receiving a small package. The enclosed letter reads:]
Maki,
I've not yet thanked you for spending time with me, but I hope this letter will suffice. Enclosed is a pendant containing a blend of ground incense, and while it may not have the same effect as it would in my world, the sentiment remains the same - may it keep you safe in the field of battle.
Vivienne Stanbury
[It's painfully brief, but it's the thought that counts!!
Should Maki open the package, she'll find a silver pendant on a chain. Inside, is the incense. It's a very small amount, hardly enough to give off a noticeable smell, but if Maki really takes a whiff, it's a sharp, spicy sort of odour. To Vivienne, it smells like home.]
[ It's not extremely uncommon to find herself with a letter or package (though most of her fan mail doesn't come by carrier, thankfully) but it's still a welcome surprise. Especially when she sees who it's from.
Plopping down onto her bed with Diva curled up against her with her head on Maki's thigh, she opens the letter carefully to read it aloud to the both of them.
It's probably the most heartfelt thing she's ever read from someone she knows, which makes it all the more powerful. ]
Vivienne... [ She rereads it again quickly to herself.. ] S-She really seems like she's from a different era, huh Diva?
[ Finally she decides to open the box that came with it, her eyes opening wide at the piece inside.
Since she's come to Blanc, Maki hasn't had the same depth of choice in jewelry as she had back home. Her diamonds and pearls and other things she had gotten as presents from her Papa over the years are likely still in her jewelry box at home, leaving her with little to wear here when she wants to add something to an outfit. But that aside, the fact that Vivienne bought her something that seems to be filled with meaning, well, it's no wonder Maki feels her heart beating faster.
Sometime later, Vivienne will receive a letter in the same manner. ]
Dear Vivienne,
The oppressive heat continues to linger… Have you been doing well?
Thank you for the letter, and the pendant!♡ It's beautiful, I will make sure I wear it with me whenever I feel like I need your protection. I'm certain that it will bring me good luck, no matter what.
I hope that we can continue to spend time together though~ Whenever you like I'd be happy to take you out for coffee or shopping again!
I look forward to hearing from you.
Maki Nishikino
[ Perhaps unsurprisingly, Maki's returned letter is about as formal at least in opening and closing as could be. ]
