The writing is very weird, but he can parse what it says, and the gift is generous. He doesn't need a scarf any more, it seems like his body has returned to what it was before Norfinbury, but he doesn't want to be rude.
Instead of sending a note back, he goes around the village one morning until he finds the house with the name 'Xanthous' on the mailbox, and then knocks on the door.]
Xanthous pauses in the middle of the room - his home isn't any larger than anyone elses, but it's all just one big room with the kitchen separated by just the counter, with only one door that leads to the bathroom - which means Alphonse gets a clear view of just how many tribbles have made themselves at home.
There's a lot. It's kind of a problem.]
Yeah, yeah, I'm Thanthouth. Did it get to you okay...?
[Xanthous isn't a strange sight, he's seen trolls before, but the tribbles are unexpected... and adorable. He desperately wants to bend down and scoop a few up, but he needs to focus on what he's come here for.]
Yeah, I actually came to say thank you.
[His voice is warm, genuinely grateful.]
It's such a generous thing to do, especially for someone you don't know.

Hello? Is anyone home?
no subject
Xanthous isn't very good at predicting people.
Still, he's there when Alphonse comes around, though the door opens seemingly of its own volition.]
You can come in.
[He doesn't recognize the voice, no, but he's a little busy trying to wrangle down some tribbles at the moment.]
no subject
He pokes his head into the door before following that up with the rest of his body, shutting the door behind him quietly.]
Um, I came about the package you sent me, are you Xanthous?
no subject
[Huh. It's stranger seeing the guy in person.
