Head Held High

Tail beat the air, and a grin that made her jaw hurt was on her face. Her tongue lolled out of her mouth goofily, and she made no move to stop it. Of course... part of her joy was amusement from the fact Finch hadn't realized she said - oh. She spoke to soon. The girl giggled as Finch turned around and stared at her... and promptly started attacking her paws. "Nooo!" Lillie protested, laughing helplessly as she curled her paw around the gift, keeping it out of site and hidden. She giggled more as Finch barked impatiently, and she caved. "Okay, okay, I'll show you!" She laughed some more, eyes glittering with happiness as she edged backwards a bit, her nose dipping down to grasp the gift by the gold chain. Held delicately between her jaws, she let it dangle from her tooth. The gold glittered from the chain down, but it truly shimmered on that leaf. Giggles had faded, instead, an almost fearful look replaced it. Would Finch like it? She liked the flower but this was unlike anything Finch had and would she still like it? It frightened the girl, that her gift would go unliked.
