The day had started off as any other, Lucian sleeping into the afternoon before being woken up by Yume finally. She knelt down to him with a smile on her face and nudged him awake.
Quote:
"Hey, wake up sleepy head. I have something for you."
He rubbed his eyes and yawned. Slowly he sat up and looked at her.
Quote:
"Really? What is it? Why did ya get me something? Is it my birthday?"
"Hehe, no silly it is not your birthday yet. I can't tell you what it is, see it is from Tenez and it is alll wrapped up. So you will have to come out to hte kitchen and open it up to see for yourself."
"Wow! Stuff from Tenez! That is soooo cool!"
"Ok, hurry on out when you can!"
It didn't take much longer for him to be following her out of his room and to the kitchen, taking the easy flight up to the top of the table where the large box sat.
Quote:
"Where is Trea? Doesn't she want to see what I got?" He asked as his wings jittered in anticipation of seeing what he had been sent.
"She isn't here right now; she is out playing with some friends."
"Oh well, her loss."
Without further hesitation he ripped through the package and sliced the tape open with his claws, pulled open the flaps and dug into the packing peanuts. He pulled out the first item, a little bit larger than he was. Yume giggled at the sight of him covered in peanuts, static cling was a wonderful thing.
Quote:
"Well what is it?"
"It's a guitar! And it's my size!"
"Is there anything else? That is an awfully big box for just that."
"I dunno, maybe."
Without hesitation he dove into the box once more and pulled out two items this time. They were wrapped up in even more paper. Before long he had those unwrapped as well and was looking at them. Yume leaned over his shoulder and nodded.
Quote:
"A guitar game, guitar controller for that game and a book that was with the game for your real guitar huh? Pretty neat stuff ya got there!"
"It sure is. Can I go play this in Trea's room?"
"I suppose, so long as you don't make any sort of mess."
Yume picked up the stuff and walked with him to Trea's room. She helped him set up everything and smiled. He was a good kid. Hopefully the guitar game would help steer him from the violent ones Tenez had been allowing him to play. Perhaps that was just part of Tenez's demon nature that made him not feel the same about the games as Yume's shy and timid nature made her feel.
