Repost: (9.12.2761) Happy Birthday, From Me (attn: Fi)

[Multi- Facets]

"Of course I like them! They're the prettiest, most useful thing anyone's ever given me!" Quick as a cat, Fiena buckled one of the leather straps around Kioko's own wrist. "One for you, one for me. To always remind each other of our friendship." She nodded decisively. "It may not match your Attie's hide like they match Satyrth, but I think it'll be okay, yeah? We're gonna be friends for life. None of that growing apart with age thing, not for us!"
 
It was harder fastening the twin wrist band on her own wrist, having only one hand, but she managed it, then set the belt through the loops on her pants. It even matched! But then again, she'd chosen her best clothes, which hadn't always been her best clothes, until she'd Impressed, and the outfit matched Satyrth. Then it was certainly and without a doubt her best outfit.

()Ew!() Atalanth laughed and rubbed her head across Satyrth's side, wiping off the slobber. ()Back at you!() Her eyes whirled playfully. ()But no, I don't mind sharing. Kioko loves Waltz, so I love her too, and Kioko loves us both enough to go around. I'm actually secure in our bond, unlike some dragons I could mention.() She ducked slightly as the blue moved his head around. ()As for happy tears, I think that's happening now.()

Sure enough, Kioko was looking misty-eyed once Fi finished making that vow. "Oh, Fi." She hugged the other young woman gently. "I've never had a friend like you before." Wonderful as Na'tsu had been, he wasn't like Fi. No one was. "I'll be glad to be your friend forever. Thank you for everything."

= M-F
Kioko and Atalanth.
