Looking at Niter's less than enthusiastic response, Hestia resigned herself to the fact that she really needed to work on her presentation. Glancing down with a roll of her throat, she took a quick breath before looking back at him with a smile. It was important, after all, to have set backs to encourage her to do better moving forward.

"Of course, but first..." and then she was running toward the little gift shop building, and then trotting back with a giftbag in hand. "To remember Hestia by, and as a thank you for coming to visit."

She handed it over to Niter and, before he had a chance to look inside, willed him back to Earth with a determined, "It will be much nicer next time you come by."
