Skye smiled and nodded to show that she understood Syrus's instructions and, sitting comfortably with her knees bent to one side, she lifted her plate slightly, broke off a piece of the pie, and put it in her mouth.
The moment she tasted it, her eyes lit up brightly, and she smiled happily at Syrus.
"It so good!" she exclaimed as soon as her mouth was empty and she could speak. "You very good cook, Syrus! Suzura lucky, she can eat your food all the time!"
She giggled and broke off another piece of the pie, taking another bite.

Syrus' face lit up in a faint blush. "Gee...thanks Skye. I'm glad you like it," he said before taking a sip of tea and then went about eating his own piece of dessert.

Skye giggled softly at Syrus's blush, but she looked down at her pie so that she wouldn't embarrass him further.
When she had finished, she set her plate and fork aside and lay down on the blanket, careful not to knock anything over or kick anyone.
"That was good," she sighed happily, folding her wings carefully beneath her back and stretching out, crossing her ankles and folding her hands over her stomach. "I am full now ... want to rest before we do more."
She looked over at Syrus and Suzura anxiously. "Is that okay?"

Suzura could not answer, as she had curled up into a ball and was sound asleep, as she usually did when full.
Syrus laughed a bit and smiled. "That is just fine with me," he said, positioning himself so that his own full stomach wouldn't disturb him.

Skye giggled and turned onto her side so that she could watch her friends as they rested.
"Suzura so cute," she murmured softly, smiling at Syrus.

"Mmmm... Yeah, she is..." he replied, sort of in a post dessert dase, but not tired enough to go to sleep. He did stretch though, positioning himself once more to get as comfy as possible on such a full stomach.

Skye giggled and reached out to poke Syrus on the nose.
"You sleepy," she laughed. Then she pulled her hand back and tucked it under her head like a pillow and looked at him, her blue eyes sparkling with laughter.
"That okay," she giggled softly. "I watch while you sleep. You look very peaceful."

"I'm fine!" he said with a laugh, though, now with everything calmed down and restful like...perhaps would be a good time to give her that something that he had been hiding all this time.
"A...and besides, I might forget to give you something if I fall asleep, and I don't want that to happen..." he said.

Skye blinked, certain that she must have seen his words wrong.
"Give me something?" she repeated for clarification, just in case. She sat up halfway, propping herself up on one elbow, and looked at Syrus in confusion.

"Y..yeah..." he stammered. Darn it, his courage was slipping already. No, he couldn't back out of this now, so he dug into his pocked, wrapping his hand around the small thing in entirety so Skye couldn't see it when he first pulled it out, and as soon as it was out he held it in both hands for a while before placing it in one hand again and smiling weakly.
"Here...I...hope you like it..." he finally said, offering what it was with an open palm.
It was a small silver heart, with light blue crystals faceted into the metal that glittered when the sun hit them, and in the right way, the reflections seemed to dance ever so slightly.

Skye watched as Syrus held his hand out, and when he opened his fingers to show what he was holding, her eyes grew wide with surprise. She blinked at him, her brow furrowed slightly.
"For me?" she said softly, reaching out and picking it up between her finger and thumb. She examined it closely for a moment, then closed her hand around it and clutched it close to her chest, her eyes shining as she looked at Syrus.
"Thank you," she murmured, blushing softly as she held it tightly. "Thank you ... is very pretty ..."
She lowered her head slightly, her hair falling in front of her face. "But I did not bring anything for you," she said sadly. "I could not think ... I wanted to ... but I could not think what you would like ..."

It was some sort of subconcious reaction, what Syrus did next. He scooted closer to her, and using one of his hands, gently pushed half of her hair to one side so he could be sure that she could see her face. As he tucked most of it behind her ear gently, he smiled gently.
"It's fine Skye. Just you being here is a good enough gift..." he said.

Skye kept her eyes on Syrus's mouth so that she would not have to look into his eyes as he talked to her, but as she saw his words her eyes grew wide and her face burned, turning a deep shade of red.
She couldn't stop herself then: she slowly raised her gaze until her eyes met Syrus's, and she clutched the little silver heart tighter, closer.
"Skye ... gift?" she murmured softly, licking her lips that seemed suddenly very dry for some strange reason.

Syrus was a bit confused by her question, but paid it little mind, seeing as he could tell she was a bit uncomfortable, and looked like she needed a drink with her licking her lips and all, so he scooted back just a bit, picking up his glass and her own, handing hers to her.

Skye took the glass, grateful for the distraction, and she murmured a soft 'thank you' as she put it to her lips and took a sip. He was very thoughtful, she mused ... very nice ...
Sure other people were nice to her, but she never thought anything of it when it was them. Syrus somehow was special. She didn't know how ... but she knew that he was special.
But what had he meant by his comment? That her being there with him was a good enough gift? Did he think she was special too?
She found herself smiling at the thought. That would be ... nice.
