Sven dipped his head. "Best of luck to both of you!"

(Thanks! I'm getting super nerdy about it and am having a lovely time of it lol)
"Thank you." Ky nodded to him and pulled the door open, holding it for Sera.

Ky stepped through after her and shut the door behind them. She got instantly bubbly, her inhibitions of putting on a mature face for Sven abandoned. She was getting a heart box! For her father! He was going to love it so much. Finally something she could do for him rather than take-take-take all the time.

(haha thanks! Yeah I was googling images and found that gem and knew right away that it was meant to be xD the first QR code links to a rick roll/crab rave mash up then second one actually links you to my network xD)
"Yeah!" She nodded eagerly. "Four days is plenty of time to get Gaius and Sara to help me figure out where his stuffed animal is if it's still around and I can get some of the stones now and just have those with me -- or wait maybe I should wait to be sure I have enough? Hmm..."

"I think a few stones will be good!" she said. "Smooth ones, maybe from the creek. And be sure to ask your family as well--Anneke and the children will have things to offer as well, I'm sure."

"For sure!" Ky nodded. "And I know food doesn't go inside, but maybe when we come to pick up the box I could get him some of the sticky buns or something they smell really, really good." Her stomach rumbled.

"Perhaps we can find little carvings or clay replicas of them," she suggested.

"Hmm... maybe... do you think they're that special to him, though?" Ky looked at her curiously. "I just meant, like... as a treat on the side for when I give it to him."

"Ah." She nodded thoughtfully. "That's a far, far better idea. Good consolation, too--it'll give him something familiar to focus on."

She grimaced, deflating a little. “Yeah…” hopefully this wasn’t a mistake.

"He'll be so surprised," Sera assured her. "It will be good."

“I hope so.” Ky nodded. “I…” she nodded again. “Hope so.”

She patted Ky's shoulder. "Anywhere else you'd like to go in the meantime?"
