Back in the tree from the trade, it didn't take Everfree long to find Twilight Sparkle's nook. Looking overly suspicious, the green stallion tip-toed as much as he could. Flapping his wings he looked ridiculous as he approached the Nook. Pausing at the door way, he plastered himself to the wall before edging forward. A soon as he could, he carefully looked into the room sweeping it with sharp brown eyes.
She wasn't there! He let out a breath he didn't realize he was holding. Dropping his head some, the relieved alicorn let his wings relax and fall some as he carefully walked into her nook. The moment he was in there he felt like a trespasser. Indeed, he had entered her room without her permission or knowledge. That was a bit presumptions of him to just enter a lady's quarters like he was. There was a good reason, however.
Carefully he made it over to her shelf of books with one in hand. He brought his left wing out and curled it forward so he could pluck a long green feather off. It hurt just like he thought it would, took some effort not say 'ow'. It came off cleanly, she could almost use it as a quill if she so desired. For a few moments he studied the feather.
It was good enough, he felt, and there was very little he could give her that was any more a part of him then what he held in his hand. Placing the book down on her desk, careful not to disturb any of her things, the Prince placed the feather right between the first page and the hard cover. The top of the feather poked out a little bit but he didn't want to damage it by forcing it down.
This was Twilight's now, after all and he never wanted to damage something of hers.
With the task completed, he took the book on angel anatomy and placed it carefully on the book shelf. The blue spine stood out more then he really wanted it too but there was nothing he could do about that either. Still, for a few moments he stood there with his fists on his hips and his chest puffed out. Feeling pretty proud of himself, he fully tucked his wings back where they belonged and worked on the task of getting out of the room before he was caught!

Twilight was quietly humming as she walked down the hallways. She'd recently made a discovery, and it was one she was thrilled about. She'd been going about searching for books entirely the wrong manner. There were a ton within the tree! However, they weren't ones she could read. Those were few and far between. The thought made her frown a bit, but it wasn't something she was going to let bother her.
"I wonder where Everfree is, I'd love to share this discovery with him~" The purple mare mumbled, trying not to chew her lip in the process of it. Surely he was just busy and not avoiding her. They were friends now after all, and friends meant going out and doing fun things together a lot! Right?
But since the weather had started to get warmer, she hadn't seen too much of him. Maybe he lived outside the tree? She was so lost in thought, Twilight passed right by Prince Everfree once she entered her room. Poor Twilight, completely out of it.

Everything went perfectly, just like he planned. That was until Twilight came home early.'Oh horse apples!' He froze exactly in place, the only movement coming from his long tail settling back into its default position. One of his hooves was off the ground in mid step, muscles bunching in the back hoof threatening to topple him if he didn't move.
Eyes wide, he scarcely breathed as he watched her just walk past him. It was a odd moment, he was glad she hadn't seen him; though his heart was pounding hard its a wonder it couldn't be heard. On the other hoof, he was worried about her. She may assume no one would be in the room, reasonable assumption, still that she didn't see him was a worry.
If he said anything now he was as likely to give her a heart start as she had given him. Closing his eyes for a moment, he looked at the way out and took as much a leap as he did a step. If he could just get out, then he could properly knock to come back in and check on her.
If he was lucky she'd discover the book before he could knock. If he was unlucky it would be near impossible not to look at it and bring unnatural attention to it.

Raising a hand to rub the back of his neck, Everfree found the top of her door very interesting. He was trying to go for cool and collected, just like he planned, instead he was just as excited about her finding the book as she might be. Searching he finally was able to try to look a little more regal as he started to talk, "Hello Twilight Sparkle, I wanted to come by.." so far so good. Now he just had to give her a reason.
Oh he had a few, but he needed a good one, "And see how you were doing, I haven't had much luck finding..running into you recently." Partly he was to blame, between exploring more as the weather had gotten nicer, and all the time he put into pulling off the gift surprise.

She said she was fine, but didn't notice him in her room. That still left him concerned. It wasn't like he could point that out, but still! Looking at her, he was trying to figure out how to say it when she said she had the most interesting new book. She found it!
There was no putting away his smile, knowing she had found it was enough to light up his face.Clearing his throat again he managed to reign it it a little bit, "Oh really, a new book? That is wonderful. Do you like it? Your new book I mean?" She called it interesting, that was a good sign too? By the Sun and the Moon he shouldn't be nervous.
Fidgeting with his wings a moment he responded, "Oh I have been well, doing a bit of exploring in the tree and out. The weather is lovely, we should really go on a walk sometime." As he asked her to join him, something kicked in somewhere in that whirling brain of his because he added with a touch of stutter himself, "I-if you are not busy." Surely there were things she wanted to do as well.
