[This totally happened during Christmas time. Ignore the date.]
[A small Gebian spaceship, similar in shape to a gilded ancient-era vessel like all of them, arrives at Alhambra. The ship's door opens, and out comes a procession of at least dozen Gebians, most of them carrying musical instruments - very few of them look similar to anything commonly used on Earth, but all of them play music. Very loud music. Also, all of them are singing in Gebian, a choir of chittering, insectoid voices. The melody is a little bit cacophonic, but it might sound somewhat familiar to some people, even if they won't likely won't be able to put their finger on why. There's some holiday elements to it, though maybe because some of the instruments being played include bells.]
[The one leading the parade and directing it with her staff is Hetepheres. She somehow manages to stay calm and dignified despite the mayhem.]
The royal orchestra of Geb has arrived. Together with volunteers they have come to give their thanks, by playing their own arrangement of a local Earth song for all to hear. It is this time of year now. Enjoy, celebrate, and be merry.

Matters of heart are not unfamiliar to either of us
We are both aware of the code of conduct
I want to pledge to you something nobody else would
And that is my complete dedication
I need to make sure you understand my emotions
When I truthfully swear that:
I shall always believe in you
I shall never disappoint you
I shall never turn my back and abandon you
I shall never cause you grief
I shall never betray you
I shall never stab you in the back
And maim you

Dido keeps pace with Hetepheres...and holds out a scarf knitted in imperial gold, black and red.
"For you, General," She says. "Merry Christmas."

[Hetepheres looks at the scarf for a long while. Then, she takes it and wraps it around her neck.]
I appreciate your gift. This is a very regal scarf.
