He was quiet. Hesitant. She wasn't even sure if he would answer her, but she also doubted he'd ignore her. Unless she had really made things so awkward that there was no coming back from it, but...it seemed not. Maybe? He nodded before turning his back to her and retreating to his den. She stood there, quiet. Unsure what he was doing but she stayed rooted in place. "Yes I, uh...got you something." She was...surprised. To say the least. After that last night at thr festival, she kept telling herself their friendship had been ruined. But...he had gotten her something. She waited quietly, practically holding her breath as he brought out a bundle and laid it between them. With bated breath she watched as he unfurled it to reveal the contents. Two necklaces with leaves backed each with their own unique color. Then he nudged the red one to her.
She stared at it, then looked at him for a moment before returning her attention to the necklace. She was quiet the whole time. Perhaps a rare event in her life because she was seldom ever quiet. Finally, after what felt like a hundred heartbeats later, she spoke. "Holland, they're beautiful...I-I don't know what to say," Her voice was low but colored with emotion. She swallowed as she really couldn't find the words. He...had gotten her a gift. And she wished she could have reciprocated with a gift of her own but...with her mind telling her he probably didn't want to be around her after that, she hadn't.."Thank you..."
