Oh man... I must have missed them when I was there last time.

[ note to self: visit the Cothromach again.

but man, to think he told himself he didn't want to see another smithy for a long while; now he's itching to try these tools out. but that thought's foregone when Flora mentions his present to her. ]

Oh! Yeah, definitely, I don't mind at all. [ wow this is exciting! but it's also a bit nerve-wracking considering how much stuff she got him... ] It's probably not as great compared to yours...

Well, we were kinda busy with other things at the time. [You know, fighting and trying not to die and all that.] There's also Troichean Beinn, but I've not been there.

But hey, it's the thought that counts. I really appreciate that you took the time to get me something when you didn't have to. That's more than enough, so thank you, Lloyd.

[Which she means very genuinely, but everyone loves presents!! So she is carefully unwrapping and opening the box while being very excited.

When she opens it she gasps audibly with wide eyes, putting a hand to her mouth. She carefully lifts the necklace up to the feed like the precious gift it most certainly is.]

Lloyd it's...it's beautiful. Did you make this?

[ he hums in agreement, especially considering his memories of the Cothromach were... less than pleasant. thankfully it's doing better (as far as he knows), so he pushes that out of his mind in favor of watching Flora open her present. which is... a little more intimidating than he'd like.

at least her reaction was a nice one. it helps him to relax some. ]

...Yeah. I did.

[ he rubs the back of his neck, an embarrassed flush on his cheeks. well, she likes it! that's definitely a plus, though it's not his finest work. ]

It's kind of rushed since I was making something for another friend that was taking a while. It could probably look better, honestly.

[ no, it could definitely look better. ]

Stop that. It's lovely and I love it. It's very me. But! [She shuts her eyes, raises a finger and pauses for a long moment, because maybe watching Lloyd squirm is very cute to her. Then she opens an eye in a sort of reverse-wink.]

I'm not going to wear it until you put it on for me. Please.

Huh?

[ if this was supposed to be flirting, it went right over his head. sure, his cheeks are still a little pink from earlier flustering, but he's more surprised than anything.

he shrugs. ] Umm, okay. Sure. Come on by and I'll put it on.

[Wow, Lloyd. Who's flirting!!!

Anyway.]

Alright!

[Green-black sphere of light in your room, Lloyd, and boop, there she is.]

Hey! Hi, Noishe!

[If Noishe looks amenable, she is going to give him a big doggie hug and scratch his fur and basically love him for life, and in so doing, her plan's been revealed: she didn't want to see Lloyd at all.]

Whoa!

[ yeah, he's never going to get used to that. he jumps back, nearly knocking over his gifts from Flora as she materializes before him and... goes to town with Noishe.

Noishe meanwhile is having the time of his fucking life, wagging his tail and licking Flora's face. lady friend, he missed you!! ]

I guess Noishe liked your presents too...

Edited 2015-01-05 00:18 (UTC)

[You literally asked for her to come, bro.]

I'm so glad! [~~protozoan~~ Doggie kisses! She's just going to laugh as they happen.] Noishe, you get more and more handsome and cute every time I see you! Who's the best in the world? It's you! You are!♥

[Okay, but she manages to disengage. And stands straighter, brushing herself down and tidying herself up with a snap of her fingers!]

Hi, Lloyd! Happy holidays! [Hope you like hugs bro because you're getting one.]

[ okay he really can't help it, but Lloyd wrinkles his nose at that display because wow Flora could you be any more corny?

but that's forgotten the moment she hugs him because, well. it was unexpected. it actually stuns him but he recovers from it soon enough. he even moves to wrap his arms around Flora to return her hug. ]

Hey, Flora. Happy holidays to you too!

[ though he wonders why she said that instead of Yule or Christmas. maybe because they're two holidays that deal with the same traditions? ]

[She could be, don't test her, bruh.

She detaches herself naturally, but raises a hand to her mouth in mild self-consciousness.]

Oh gosh, I'm sorry, I hope that was okay.

[It was a little impulsive of her because she is honestly incredibly ecstatic. Today is such a good day! It's Christmas/Yule! Lloyd got her something amazing! So many good things are happening!!!]

[ he has no complaints when Flora breaks up the hug when she does, though he does give a small snort in response to her apology. boy, did that sound awfully familiar... ]

Don't be dumb. Of course it was okay!

[ Lloyd is totally okay with hugs, especially hugs from friends! he steps back, though, rubbing his neck for the 105364th time that day. ]

So, uhh... You have the necklace?

[Lloyd, you're going to rub the skin off through your collar!!]

Well, you never know. Some people don't like hugs. And, yes, I do! [It appears, floating and glittering with magic when she waves a hand, before she takes hold of it and offers it to him with a smile.]

Here.

Don't worry. I'm not one of those people.

[ he has shounen hero skin, Flora, it never rubs off.

Lloyd accepts the necklace when Flora offers it to him, holding it in his palm before moving to undo the hook binding the chain together. it embarrasses him a little to see his work before him again even after he claimed it wasn't exactly perfect, but he ignores it. she said she liked it, so it's fine.

holding both ends of the now detached chain, he turns back to Flora. ]

Hold still.

Good to know.

[Flora sweeps her incredibly considerable amounts of hair out of the way to make it easier.

And yes, Lloyd, stop that, it's great.]

Holding.

[ he's thankful for her extra assistance in getting the hair out of the way. chain in hand, Lloyd steps closer and leans forward. he moves his hands past her shoulders and around her neck, clasping the hook back together while being mindful of any baby hairs that could potentially snag. Flora might be able to note how quickly he puts it on, as though he'd done this before.

he lets the chain trail against his fingers for a second before letting it fall against her. ]

...Happy Yule, Flora.

[No problem, bro, she knows she's got a lot there. Once he's finished, she'll offer a kind thank you before moving to look at herself in his bedroom mirror, touching it with gentle sentimentality. It's so lovely on its own, but also for what it represents and she's grateful that someone would think her worthwhile.]

Happy Yule, Lloyd! You're a really great friend, you know that?

[ his smile falters for the briefest second-- it could be a moment Flora happened to notice or it could have gone right over her head. it depended on whether or not she blinked at that moment.

a great friend, huh...? he was thankful for his friends and he did everything he could to show that... but what he did to them before he arrived at the Drabwurld still left a sour taste in his mouth. does he really still deserve to be called a great friend even after what he did?

now he understands why Zelos likes to wear fake smiles. ]

Heh... You think so?
