Ah, it's a pity, but it seems that you've attempted to... call me when I'm not available. Leave a message and I'll respond when I have time.

That's fine. I'll wait outside. It'd probably be for the best that someone like Heat not be the first to see you.
text
I'll be over in a bit then. Wont take long

[... and maybe kind of him too.]
action
. . . She won't even dignify that with a response; she is just going to show up at the Embryons' doorstep as promised, a while later. The familiar dash of orange on the door greets her, and makes her smile.
Knock, knock, knock.]
action
It's while walking that he hears the knocking, and so he heads back to the side with the door.]
Ah, you're here.
action
But anyway, when she hears Tiir's voice, she turns around and gives him a nod.]
Yeah. Now you are, too.
[In her hands are what look like two gift bags -- one larger and one smaller. They're not labeled or anything, but look nice nonetheless.]
action
That I am.
[... This is weird. What is he supposed to do in this situation—]
action
[Before he can fret for long, Yukari holds up both of the bags and holds them out towards him.]
The big one has some cookies in it that I made for the whole tribe. You're going to want to share those . . .
But the smaller one's for you.
action
... So you were serious.
[Not that he really thought that she was kidding—it still just hasn't entirely sunk in yet.
He manages a smile as he takes the bags.]
Well... thank you, then.
action
. . . It's kind of hard to look mad for real though, since he's smiling for once and all.]
Well, I obviously wasn't lying.
[Hmpth!!]
action
[This is so weeeeeeird.]
action
And also a lot of sudden staring, before she finally gives in, allowing her arms to fall back at her sides.]
Don't want to look inside?
[A beat.]
I understand. I'd be scared, too.
[The sarcasm, it is suffocating. Yes, she's teasing you.]
action
He smiles wryly.]
I hadn't considered the possibility of it being dangerous, but thank you for reminding me.
[Surprisingly.]
So it's all right to, then?
action
More than all right.
I . . . might have to explain a bit, so you should open it while I'm here.
[She figures this would be easier than writing a note.]
action
[Opening it! And... what is this.]
action
She gives him a moment to take it in, and then finally asks.]
Ever seen one before?
action
I can't say I have. What is it?
action
[Which means she got it from the Nostalgia Nook. But that's an easily overlooked detail; she won't stop there.]
It's . . . called a Garula Gem, and it casts Wind magic when you use it.
action
He's silent for a moment, as he stares. He can't deny that it's a thoughtful gift, but...]
... You're truly giving something like this to me?
action
But she opts for slightly different words instead.]
Well, I wouldn't get too excited. Unfortunately it's got limits, and it'll only work once before it's just another piece of jewelry.
[. . .]
But . . . yeah. I thought it'd come in handy.
action
... Still, he manages a smile.]
... It likely will. Thank you—this is rather thoughtful of you.
action
He'd better not.
She nods to say you're welcome.]
I usually keep one or two on me in case of an emergency -- like, if I ever run out of magic or whatever. So just think of it as a fallback.
You probably won't need it . . . but ya never know.
action
action
It's been so long now.]
E- Exactly.
Um . . . [Whatever she'd been about to say had been lost. But after an awkward moment of silence, she continues:] So, just let me know if you ever have to use it.
I can show you where to get more.
action
I will. Thank you—it really is a thoughtful gift.
action
Don't forget to share the cookies. Tell the others I stopped by -- okay?
action
I will.
