In the end, Lanssa left Dylan's house happily, holding a whip and a bunch of miscellaneous household items they had bought for her as a welcoming gift.

Kevan walked with her, and after they left the house, she noticed that he was carrying a somewhat familiar paper bag "Isn't this the gift I brought?" she asked.

She clearly remembered that the guy who drew her gift was the one who teased Kevan endlessly and poured him drinks. But how did the item end up in Revan's hands after such a short while? "He didn't want it, so he gave it to me." Kevan said calmly.

Larissa had long noticed that he was quite well-respected amongst the group Although they teased and joked with him, they ultimately wished him well. So, the intense commotion over her gift just now was probably just an act, a way to push his buttons Regardless of who got it, it would. eventually be given to him.
