[Hey, guess what, it's Winter Holiday Time! That means gifts, and so Dimitri will be getting an all expenses paid couples spa day for Dimitri and Byleth, in addition to everything necessary - pampering, tailored suit, spiffy shoes - to get him all dapper for the upcoming ball.
[ He's a bit flustered when he gets this, looking at all the presents and not sure what to make of them. So he just says— ]
I appreciate the courting, Sylvain. But shouldn't you be spoiling yourself, too?
[ And it's why, in a nicely wrapped blue box, Sylvain's going to get an elegant set of scented candles in his bedroom, and a black-and-red men's scarf with a matching sweater shirt, and an elegant pin to wear on a suit.
He might have gone feral but he at least tried for something soft! {
You're doing a good enough job already, so far. I doubt you'd like to leave a person hanging, my friend. You look wonderful, by the way.
[ But he ends up smiling when he gets the pictures and after some time, Sylvain will get a nice picture with him taking one of the mirror with him in what he sent. ]
[He'd absolutely leave most hanging. Just not Dimitri, or Felix, or anyone else close... which, to be fair, is most of what Dimitri would witness.]
As do you~ I'm afraid I'll have to demand a dance with you at the ball.
Haha~ I just got lucky. I'd take you to get it tailored if it wasn't right, though, don't worry.
[It was a lot of approximating (He's about this tall and this broad and...), combined with some knowing looks from the seamstress (you hold him in your arms often~) and Prismatica "will resize to fit" technology to fill in the gaps.]
You would get a dance whether or whether not I'd like one, it seems.
[ Damning them or not. Thankfully, Claude was able to remind him again that he hadn't lost his touch. ]
Though it looks like you've naught to worry over, my friend. It fits very well. Would that I could have given you something better, But the merchant selling these assured me the candles would be good for you. Have you tried lighting them?
Come now, Dimitri, if you really hated it so much, you know I wouldn't subject you to it.
Mmm... perhaps a slow dance, if that was the case.
[Though, really, those should be shared between Dimitri and Byleth more than between Dimitri and Sylvain. He really won't complain about getting one if he does, though.]
If you truly wish to give me something more... Then I have no choice but to demand a kiss of you at the ball as well. And it's truly a shame I can't see the blush my request has doubtlessly put on your handsome face.
Though I have yet to light the candles. Is there something special about them I should know about beforehand, that the merchant was so eager for you to buy them for me~?

And a nice, cozy blanket, of course.]

I do spoil myself, don't worry.
[Though the gifts in return also have him getting more than a little flustered. Dimitri tried for something soft and he clearly succeeded!
...He'll even get a quick photo of Sylvain wearing the sweater and scarf - hair all mussed because he clearly just changed quickly into them.]
But you're clearly trying to spoil me, too, I see.

I'm impressed you got my size correct.
