[ The gift itself isn't a surprise - the day they teamed up to make Maya's gift, Mia herself was handed it before she left. A small box like you'd put a phone or amulet inside, wrapped in violet fabric sewn shut and given with express instruction not to open it until Christmas. Or Candlenights. Or whatever the hell they're calling it now, he doesn't do holidays, don't @ him.
Whether or not she listens doesn't matter. Upon unraveling, there's only a letter and a closed box. The letter just kind of cements the whole gift as the most old-school 1900's vibe gift she's ever received, considering it's written on old parchment in the type of sweeping scriptive calligraphy you only find in that generation.
Mia Fey,
As you have naught to do with the Grand Court, this needs a bit of explanation. Similar to your attorney's badge, each branch of the Court had its own symbol: an icon which signified what that District represented, and the values they strived to achieve in all walks of life. To earn the right to wear these were considered the highest honor one could achieve.
The Red Key of Judgment denies the existence of lies, while the Blue Key of Reflection guides a spirit to seek truth. Together, these were the blades of justice that saved souls, once wielded by the strongest person I've known. While these are not proper Keys, I still believe it is only fitting that someone with that same spirit of justice should hold them.
While this gift has no secondary potential as a weapon, due to the composition of the beads, I believe it counts as a Divine Focus, according to this reality's rules toward spellcasting. Replacements are included in case of fracture or deterioration. However, as the rosary these were taken from had existed for millennia, I doubt there will be issues.
Besides: it seemed wrong to not have you match.

P.S.: I am uncertain if this is to your style, so if you have any complaints, please return it so it can be fashioned into something more desirable.
Lesson taken here: he should be banned from writing letters.
In the box itself is a single choker, strewn of iolite and ivory beads that feel eerily sacred; Light in her hands. The main amulet is a small violet orb, filled with small scraps of paper rolled up into the tiniest stars. They'll glow in the dark for a ridiculous amount of time, but due to the color of the crystal, will be a soft violet in low-light environments. It's held in place with a simple emblem of two keys crossed over each other in an X.
It also comes with a small glass vial, filled with extras of the blue and white stones, and opening it at any point gives an infinitely more condensed feeling of Staring Into A Bright Light, all hopes and good intentions in physical form. ]
