🌙🍬 [ // uno reverse, Flins is giving Columbina candy instead ]
Ever in flight, a sugar-spun dove with glistening wings appears as if it might take off from the little wooden stick its affixed to. Flins offers it with a humble bow.
"For you, Miss Columbina. May you enjoy this Moon Prayer Night better than the last."
“Oh. It’s a dove this time.” Columbina’s head tilts curiously, lightly reaching out to take the stick the little creature calls its ‘home’ from him, taking extra care as to not disturb it in doing so. Though she cannot ‘see’ it in the traditional sense, as ever, the delicate form remains as beautiful to her senses as ever. How does he make these?
“You don’t need me to take the test again?” It’s understandable why not (she doubts many of her answers to those questions would’ve changed since that night, if any of them would have) but a part of her can’t help but be a little disappointed. It was fun, to find out her ‘spirit animal’, even if a kuuhenki was a bit of an obvious outcome. And a far more accurate one than either of them could have guessed at the time, looking back on it. But a dove…
“It’s cute. I like it a lot.” Poking at the little sugar wings with her free hand, Columbina smiles. Perhaps she should ask him one day if he would be willing to teach her such a craft. Her own candy she has to give seems a bit lacking in comparison… But it’d be unfair to leave him with nothing. Friendship may not be a transaction as she’d once believed it to be, but that doesn’t mean he’s any less deserving of a sweet treat in return just because he happened to beat her to it. She just hopes he likes the tiny gift as much as she likes hers.
“Thank you, Flins. I hope you get the chance to enjoy one of your own too this time, without another disaster to interrupt you.”
