Eri stood outside of Hawks’s room, holding the present behind her back. Carefully placing it in front of the door, she knocked and ran as fast as her little legs could carry her. She smiled, happy that she had done it all by herself. She hoped Hawks liked it. She felt guilty being here sometimes, he was so busy. Inside the box was an origami hawk and a note. The note reads ‘thank you for everything, happy Halloween’ Halloween is scratched out, and then ‘merry Christmas’ is added.

The speedy little feet fleeing soon after the knock brings an amused smile to his face before he even reaches the door. It’s honestly adorable how shy the little girl can be, even if it worries him a little sometimes.
He wishes he could bring her more out of her shell, wants to see her being a confidant little kid, but she’s been through a lot, and he’s willing to be patient with her.
When he finds the little gift his smile widens, turning soft and warm as he cradles the little paper bird in one hand, a little laugh at the note.
He’s going to keep this very safe up on his shelf, so it doesn’t accidently get crushed.
...And maybe get Eri whatever she wants for dinner tonight. Even ice-cream.
