M'Baku holds the simple gift in his hand. If you accept it, M'Baku will start courting you. If you reject, M'Baku will be avoiding you.
"Hasina?"
You look up and smile.
"M'Baku!"
He smiles and sits next to you. He sees you're wearing a long fur that wraps around you and you look peaceful in the sunlight.
"What's wrong?" Your soft hand touches his cheek.
M'Baku holds your hand to his cheek, smiling at you.
"Just nervous."
"The great M'Baku? Nervous? Who are you and what have you've done with my Chief?"
M'Baku chuckles and you smile.
"Hasina...I want to give this to you."
You see the plain blue box and tilt your head. You take it and open it slowly, making you gasp. It's a simple wooden ring that is a deep brown. You realise it's an exact replica of M'Baku's.
"M'Baku...I..."
"Hasina...I've liked you for a while...and I want to be more than well, friends."
You blink before hearing your name called by your father.
"I'll be back."
"Wait! Hasina!"
You already walked off, taking the ring with you. M'Baku curses.

"Where's M'Baku?" You ask the guard.
"He went to the capital."
"Oh. Do you know...?"
"He did not say...Lady Jabari."
You blink and blush. You forgot you are wearing the ring.
"Oh. Thank you M'Aha."
He salutes and you walk back to your house. You miss your friend.
An idea hits you and you quickly go to your office and begin working.

"Chief M'Baku!"
He turns to see the servant enter the throne room. The meeting has finished for the day.
"This arrived from you from Lady Jabari."
"Lady Jabari?" T'Challa says.
"I was courting a close friend..."
M'Baku takes the package and opens it. He gasps. It is a soft fur collar that has been dyed an ombré blue. There are matching arm guards and bands. He knows your work anywhere. You are known in the village for your work with fur and leather.
"Hasina..."
"Who's Hasina?" Shuri asks.
"My...what's that word you used?"
"Girlfriend?"
"Yes."
M'Baku puts the gift back in the box before walking out. He has to find your next gift.
❄️♥️❄️♥️❄️♥️❄️♥️❄️♥️❄️♥️❄️♥️❄️♥️❄️
"Lady Jabari!"
"Coming!"
You walk out to the living room and smile at the servant.
"Oh hello Devu! What brings you to my home?"
"Chief M'Baku sends this!"
He brings the box to you and you open it, allowing Devu to watch. You gasp before bouncing up and down. It is a set of metallic dyes.
