[ This weather is too cold for Abra, so Cyllene is alone today, with a present of her own. She honestly just looks faintly surprised to be approached. ]
Ah, to allow your team a closer step to victory? I suppose I owe you a favor.

[Dream is unaffected by the cold, but he does have the advantage of being an Endless. Still, his breath fogs in the chill.]
You do not owe me anything, though I would hate to disappoint my team by neglecting these presents.
[Sprezzatura is working. Very hard. To get them points.
He hands the little present to her.]
And I would rather give them to someone I know rather than a complete stranger.

[ Lucky bastard. She's wrapped up in a sweater which is then bundled underneath a trench coat from the costume shop because these sweaters are Awful. She pauses to accept the present, ponders, and then offers up the one she's holding. ]
As you said, it's best to give them to an acquaintance.

[The perks of being immortal. He takes her gift, turning it over in his hands. This is some very bright pink wrapping paper.]
Though none of us can be blamed for what is inside, I apologize ahead of time if it is… silly.
[He has seen some of these presents, okay.
Should Cyllene decide to open hers first, though, she will find a blue and black set of dice.]

[ Inside, he'll find a bonsai growing kit!
She looks vaguely confused by the dice but not offended or disappointed so hey! Good stuff! ]
I suppose if I need to gamble on something, these will come in handy.

I am not. It's folly for a captain to be willing to gamble, except in a dire situation. I have subordinates who look to me.
There is a game on Earth where a group of individuals pretend to be someone else, often in fantastical settings, while one other acts as the storyteller, guiding their tale along an adventure.
You use the dice to decide on many different outcomes. You may look at them, then, like… fate.
[This is a very Endless way of explaining a dnd session.]

I see... it's not a gane I think I would enjoy playing but I appreciate your efforts.
I've worked too hard to establish myself to wish to become anyone else.
[ SHE WOULD SAY IT REGARDLESS]
I hold no judgment or disapproval of those who would wish to play a game like that. But should I wish to change my circumstances, I'll work towards it myself.

... The color is pleasing.

They require little care, though you may wish to shape it.
