I don't think so. In the grand scheme of things, it isn't like you've actually known her for that long.

[ there's only so much you can learn about a person in a year. even in the time she spent close-quarters with her crew she wouldn't claim to know all of the intricacies of their interests. it'd only been a few months.

she tilts her head to the side, tongue stuck out in concentration. ]

Don't beat yourself up about it.

[wolfcut]

A year can be a long time for a kid. [ Especially one he's assuming is playing by mundy rules. ] But, yeah. You're right.

[ He's eyeballing the fabric first, trying to measure it out in his head, before snipping it with his big rodent teeth. ]

So. [ His head tilts. ] Gonna tell me what secret things you like so I can be prepared for the holidays?

[ Absolutely he has to start shopping this early. ]

[edgewater]

My birthday is sooner than any of the holidays. [ she almost chuckles at the thought. it's barely spring and here he is preparing for winter. ]

But, uh. There ain't much you don't know.

[ she's a simple creature, really. ]

I guess I'm getting into more of the artsy stuff. [ she gestures, pliers in hand, at some of the plant pots dotted around. ]

[wolfcut]

[ The rodent instincts go deeper than even he realizes now. ]

Your birthday. [ Somehow he always forgets about those. ] Right. Yeah.

[ Needle threaded, he starts to sew the edges together, only pausing to glance where Parvati is pointing. ]

So more clay. That should be a little easier than a fashion statement.

[edgewater]

[ parvati leans over to sneak a look at what he's doing. yeah, she probably couldn't be doing that. good call. ] You don't have to get me anything, it's fine.

[ it'd be nice but she isn't that used to it to begin with. ]

You could at least tell me what you'd want, too. [ or she's gonna make him another, less crappy mug. might even be glazed this time. ]

[wolfcut]

I don't have to, but I'd like to.

[ Because that's a thing friends do. Even he, lone wolf that he is, knows that. ]

I'll make it easy for you though. I don't do birthdays. [ He does grin at her, regardless of how that cheeky retort lands. ] The only thing I can think of wouldn't be for me anyway. Not sure if that counts.

not even asking her when her birthday is. Classic.

[edgewater]

Oh really? And what is it you'd like?

[ even if it's not for him she desperately wants to know. she leans forward a little for emphasis. ]

LOCAL WOLF TRYING HIS BEST

[wolfcut]

Hm. [ He finishes sewing up the piece he's working on first. ] Something for a few of the kids here.

[ It's a good thing his cheeks are perma-pink because he'd definitely be blushing. Maybe it's too silly, but he clears his throat anyway. ]

... Just little deputy badges with their names on it. Or something like that anyway.

[edgewater]

[ parvati is quiet. the chain has grown in length -- about as long as her arm, now, so she's rummaging through the stuff to find something she can fashion a clasp out of. ]

I could probably make those for you. [ it's a real sweet thought, thinking about all of the kids he looks out for over something practical for himself. ]

[wolfcut]

[ He's on to sewing up more pieces of fabric together. Soon enough, he'll have a whole set of bracelets (?) for each of Noelle's hooves. ]

Could you? [ It's silly. He knows it is. But the thought still gets him to smile without realizing. ] There's... more than a few. Probably all going to be a little different too.

[ Even if they don't like it or want it, he's still going to try to make it something they'd pick for themselves. ]

[edgewater]

I don't see why not.

[ it's what friends are for, and she's not one to say no to a request from a friend. ] You've just gotta tell me what they'd want, and I'm sure I could work something out.

[wolfcut]

[ It's a good thing he doesn't have a tail to wag right now (his tough guy aura), but he does smile over at her, clearly touched. ]

I won't make it too complicated. Just personalized is all. But let me think on it.

[ There's five at least. Maybe seven now, actually. Though there might be one more, and— ]

Oh, these are done. [ He sets aside what he's been working on. ] Should we put studs on 'em? Or is it spikes...

[edgewater]

Wow! You were quick!

[ or maybe she's just having a lot of fun. either way-- ] Maybe do two of each? That way she can swap 'em out, mix and match. That sorta thing.

wanna wrap here? c:

[wolfcut]

I'm getting the hang of it.

[ Maybe he's a little proud that he only stabbed himself a couple of times while he was at it. ]

Makes sense. Here. You figure out the metal bits. I can sew a few more in different colors.

[ Red works, right? Or maybe even purple... ]

ofc!!

[edgewater]

Sure.

[ she takes the bracelets into her hands. ]

Yeah, I'm sure she'd like that, too. [ she smiles softly, going back to rummage in her box of scrap. ]
