Several days late:

A rambling letter in chickenscratch handwriting. It contains a list of common turns of phrase, by country. Probably no one diplomatic should ever see this list. Probably it would be best to burn it upon receipt. Probably no one in Orlais actually gets their dick caught in mask holes and uses this as a colloquialism for their foreign policy blunders.

Possibly it's meant a joke. She signs it, so at least it's not one meant at Petra's expense.

This is getting framed and going up beside Araceli's picture of a "cat??????" FYI

Used copies, taken from the University of Orlais' library, of several dry and standard Orlesian-authored texts on the history and culture of the Free Marches, Antiva, and Nevarra. Used not because he is cheap or a thief—he had them replaced—but because they've been annotated and in some cases adorned with semi-obscene illustrations by scholars or visiting students from those countries who disagreed with the books' contents.

The cover’s been lifted off some cheap serialized romance, and carefully attached to a stiffer backing, such that it might be slipped around a small book — like that of the blank-paged journal enclosed. The note reads: For privacy of page.

There's also a tiny clinch pick knife perfect for jamming repeatedly into someone’s guts, just. You know. In case.

These are actually signed, because not signing your knife deliveries to political leaders is considered ""shady"" in some circles.

An assorted box of Orlesian-crafted bath bombs, and assortment of books regarding arcane lore both Circle-based and beyond. Also an invitation to discuss them at Petrana's leisure.

Adding to Petra's new pile of books, a cloth-bound copy of the memoirs of one Ethelyna Straub, the First Enchanter of Markham Circle from 7:34 to 7:62 Storm. Rarely read or known outside the Circles, but popular within, the text is notable for its humor and dry wit in chronicling the day-to-day experience of mage life.

Another book, this one a slim cloth-bound volume without a title. Within is a compilation of writings on the possibility Andraste was a mage--some of which that follow the Imperial Chantry's idea she wasn't the Maker's Chosen at all, and others more in keeping with Orlesian orthodoxy (except for the one obvious bit of heresy). A section of The Search for the True Prophet is included.

A very small tin of delicate rose-flavored candies, shaped into tiny flowers.

A pair of light-blue and beaded hairpins, along with a matching beaded and enchanted-to-be-slightly-warm shawl, with a note that says the weather will be getting colder yet, but this note may be redeemed unlimited times for warm company from Anders.

He doesn't get her a gift; that would be presumptuous. Instead, he offers to lend her one of the books he'd grabbed when leaving the Circle; a basic primer on elemental magic. Whenever she happens to open it, a small note inside instructs her not to worry about returning it, though if she would like to discuss its contents in the future, he would be interested in her opinion.

...that does sound like a gift, doesn't it.

A pretty set of tins filled with rather fancy teas, and one filled with rather fancy rock sugar, for use in the tea.

A set of Wicked Grace cards; a fancier set than you'd generally find around. Slipped in the pack are the details for tailors that don't have much issue with doing work for rifters. A small bottle of her favourite hair/skin oil is included because we all have horribly long days, please take care of yourself. (Somewhere tucked amidst that is an open offer to come have dinner, but to please let her know opinions on spices first.)
