The back of her hand is lifted up towards the sky, shielding the fragments of sunlight that split and thread itself across the land. It was too early in the day to be with nothing to do and yet there she was, pushing the last crisp apple slice past her lips and looking to the clouds for a plan. That is, until a quiet shadow takes its place in front of her. Pale lashes flutter, bright hues following as his gaze lowers until he's leveled with her; the gesture elicits the corners of her mouth to upturn. It seemed he always took care to ensure she wasn't straining her neck to speak with him. It may have just been his own preference, he towered over her — likely over many, but she still appreciated it. As he speaks, she leans in a bit closer; his low, rough voice requiring a better ear. " Oh? " A sheepish grin spreads at her lips. Ah, she wasn't shy about mentioning her birthday to others. Often there wasn’t anyone to share the occasion with, so she opted to share the joy with strangers and acquaintances.. Perhaps it was one of them who'd spilled the word. Or it was her own big mouth. " Yeah! It's my birth — " Despite whatever the reason, she still hadn't expected to be offered a present. Evident by her slack jaw and starry-eyed stare. " R - really? " Brows knit together, teal hues searching his own for anything in opposition to his words, but there wasn't. He wasn't a man of many words, it would be hard to believe that the few he chose to speak would be anything but the truth. She presses, " Whatever I want? Anything? " She practically squeals in delight, slighter hands reaching forward to rest against his cheeks, " AH, I take it back I won't even ask, you said whatever I want so I'll hold you to it! " Watching him work the few times she'd stopped by was fascinating, but to receive a product of it herself was an unexpected treat. In her excitement, she scrunches up her nose and gently brushes it against his own, mere seconds later tearing herself away to make headway towards his shop. She didn't even wait for him to follow suit before falling into her own spiel. " Can I ask you to forge me a surprise? No wait, I should pick it. Oh, oh! Maybe a charm I can add to my bracelet! Or a new bracelet, I — " She pauses, looking back towards him.
" Hehe, hey, hurry up! I only have one birthday y'know! " She reaches a hand out towards him, bright laughter spilling in the space between them as she mirrors his previous gesture and nods towards his shop.
