The vape pen is sleek and silver with stars etched in the metal. The stars are inlayed with gold. Lying next to it is a small brown leather case with an engravings of a centaur drawing a bow and arrow and below that, Dan's stage name, both embossed with gold as well. When he opens it he'll find slots for his vape, a spare cartridge, and a battery charger. Sitting in the box next to it are a handful of vape juices in a few fruit flavors, mint, and cotton candy.

Elle rubs the back of her neck as she feels her face becoming warm again.

"It's a-- uh, a vape? They're also called e-cigarettes. They're-- I can't say that they're better for you than regular cigarettes, if you try it you should still probably keep your distance from the kids when you can, but you should be okay using it indoors by an open window, or something," she's rambling, isn't she?

"Plus, they come in a bunch of flavors." She remembers Dan's magic flask in the Wilderlands with alcohols that she wouldn't dare to try. It seems like something he's appreciate.

"I just thought-- I mean, I wasn't sure how you'd feel about patches. I know there's a ritual to smoking that they can't replace, so I thought this might be a decent middle ground?"

She doesn't feel great about it, she's done enough research to know that vaping isn't really better than smoking, but it's less likely to set Santa's Workshop ablaze so she'll take it.
