[When Diarmuid opens the package and sees what is inside, he cannot help but just sit and stare at it in disbelief for a while. To be able to look at it in the gallery was one thing, but to have it now in his hands... It is a gift so precious he can't even begin to think of a way to thank Dorian for it.
Once he finishes his gift and sends it off to Dorian, it seems small in comparison, but he hopes the man will like it anyway. Once opened, it will reveal a bouquet of hand carved wooden roses in a vase decorated with falling rose petals. The roses he carved and even though they were done with only one hand, they are so detailed and realistic that one would be wise to be ware the thorns. To Diarmuid, it seems like a fitting nod to the painting Dorian so loves. Something that is beautiful on the surface, but holds a darker secret when one looks closer at it.
Along with the gift goes a short note, that simply says:]
