<sub>[ Oddly, this reaction does not surprise him. A little girl liking the idea of a talking pony? What could be more natural. Or cute. When little kids like just about anything it's cute.

He smiled at her, though his eyes widened a fraction in surprise at the invitation. He laughed though and nodded. ]</sub>

Of course, I would delighted to attend your birthday party. You'll have to remember to drop me a hint on what you want for a gift, though. That's my weakness - gift buying.

I'll try. I'll let you know when the day is near.

[ If she's still around by then.

A year is long enough for her to understand that they won't always be here. There comes a time they will eventually leave the fleet. It was a hurtful truth for her at first, to lose all the friends that she made. But she has been learning to cope by keeping a positive outlook that she'll meet everyone again. ]

If I'm no longer here, you can just think about me. 'Kay?

[ ...That sounded kind of depressing, but she's still smiling. ]

_{[ It was a bit depressing, but he figures she wouldn't ask if she probably hadn't had to the same thing herself. So instead he just nods and holds out his pinky to her. Kids still did this, right? ]}

Pinky swear.

[princessia]

[ Kids still did pinky swears, but she never had a chance to do one with anyone else. She always watched other children. The children of Hamil helped her escape from her small room, but their parents instructed them to stay away from her.

So when he holds out his pinky, she leans over rather eagerly, hooking her own pinky around his. ]

Pinky swear!

_{[ He grinned and did a little shake to seal the deal before leaning back. ]}

Finish your cocoa, and I'll go find Fenris. He should be around here.

[princessia]

[ A nod. ]

Okay. Thank you, Jim.

[ She gives him a little smile, then goes back to sipping from her mug. ]
