[Somewhere around where Maglor usually rests will end up a wrapped basket. Inside that basket, Maglor will find a rather ugly Christmas sweater that's very warm and designed to help protect him from the cold, right down to his poor fingers. It has no note, but can't he figure out who it's from?]
[There is indeed much love in the creation of this abomination! But the colors were oh so carefully chosen to be the perfect garish-yet-festive cheer he remembers from Asgard.
The song is listened to with joy and love and he leans out his window with a soft smile. Later he'll go find Maglor to simply give him a warm embrace.]
Their appearance is...frightening. (Disturbing might be more accurate, but one of the thestrals is nudging her hand like a horse, searching for a treat.)
They are...predators? (That is interesting. She shakily lays a hand on a skeletal muzzle, smiling faintly at the soft breath.) What of apples? I have one...
I suppose they do look a little intimidating! Mm, of a sort. They do like apples, too. You can think of them as horses, however - but they understand you.
(She switches to video and shows him her hand holding an apple. The thestral sniffs it and takes it with shocking gentleness. Sansa exhales in relief, her voice far less tense:)
They are so kind! I'm sorry I thought badly of you. (The thestral seems amused as he crunches on the fruit.)
No. None of us can help that. (She admonishes herself for, once again, coming to misguided conclusions based on appearance.) I would not mind to have a pair of these as guards, would you?
