[Inside is a pocket watch. It's clearly old but well taken care of and freshly cleaned.]

Your grandfather gave this watch to me when I graduated. I was considering saving it for either you or Nepeta when the two of your graduated but considering the few months you've had I think this is a good time to give it to you.

That and Nepeta is more likely to use it as a cat toy.

[Karkat took hold of the pocket watch, opening it up and looking at it with a bit of awe on his face. He looked up when his uncle spoke, biting his bottom lip.]

A-are you sure? I mean Nepeta is your actual kid...

I asked her about it and she agreed you should have it. She also agreed that it would make an excellent cat toy.

[Sal presses a firm kiss to his nephew's forehead.] Happy birthday.

[He made a mental note to do something for his cousin later, closing an eye when his uncle kissed his forehead.]

Thank you, un...Dad.
