Inside was a sparrow, whittled out of a block of dark, smooth wood.

Bailey picked it up delicately, "Oh, this is… Neat," he breathed. He hated how insincere he sounded– it was unintentional. He just wasn't one to get very excited.

George’s happy expression crumbled. Had he overstepped?

"Thank you." Bailey murmured.

He turned away. “I know, it’s not very good.. I couldn’t afford to buy anything.”

"It's fine, George. You've done enough for me anywho," he spoke. "I owe you my life, anyways."

George looked up again, brows drawing together. “You… do?”

".. There was nothing to stop me from taking my life. You brought me away from that. The edge."

A soft “Oh….” parted his lips.

Bailey shifted his jaw, "So, thank you,"

“You’re— you’re welcome.” He swallowed, rubbing at the nape of his neck. “It was.. a pleasure.”

He stood up, holding the bird. "What would you like for Christmas?"

George was appalled at the first answer that sprung to mind— one that he’d never voice, not in a hundred years. “You don’t need to give me anything.”

"Then what can I do?"

George gave a small shrug. “Whatever you want.”

He shifted his jaw again. "I'll be.. In my room, then. I'll be out for lunch." Lord, why was George so vague? Why couldn't he just… Say what was bothering him?

He nodded evenly. “Alright. Uh. Yeah.”

He hid away in his room. Feeling almost angry. Bailey sat himself on his bed for an intense thinking session– any less and it would continue to pester him.

George slumped into his armchair, a single tear making its way down his cheek.
