She touched her hair breifly and gave a short laugh *Im not sure whether to feel mortified or not wearing this.* she flickered her fingers at the small buttermoo and watched it wibble its delight. *They are quite a handful, but entirely too sweet.* she warned, and then looked at him. *Like one other I know.*
The buttermoo was only 14 inches from wing to wing, but it used all that length to whizzing effect.

'Mortified?' Nika shook his head and chuckled softly, 'Shi, you'd look lovely in anything.'
Was this little buttermoo meant for him? Nika's attention never entirely left Shi. His eyes may have been on the whizzing buttermoo but his ears were listening to her. At her words, a smirk, hidden by his mask, spread across his face.
'Surely, you don't mean... me?' he faked innocence, 'When I have I ever been a handful?'
He winked at her.

* I know how to stop that overly innocent mouth.* she answered *I need to feed it.* Turning she indicated the dishes that she had spread out. She had borrowed a food warmer for the occasion, so everything was still at temperature. Which was good. The chill here would ruin any attempt at dinner.
* We seem to feed each other quite a bit.* she noted * I think we both feel it will keep the other out of mischief if we are thusly occupied.*

'Ah, food,' Nika gave a happy sigh and playfully rubbed his stomach as he took a seat beside Shi, 'one of my many weaknessess.'
'You're probably right,' he nodded, smiling at her with a not-so-innocent twinkle in his eye, 'afterall, I'm a very curious person. Mischeif normally finds me.'
It was only partly true. He wasn't one to turn down a good joke, but too often trouble was the one that found him.

*You are mischievious. And very troublesome* She pulled the bowl nearer to them and lifted the cover. Appraising the contents she sniffed lightly. *I like trouble.* she gave him a slit eyed corner look that was impish. *I hope you like this, at any rate.
Pulling the bowl closer she revealed stuffed chicken, mushrooms, italian bread and salad. Off to the side was some slightly seaming tea.
*I hope you like tea.*

''I''m sure I''ll like it,'' Nika grinned with delight when he saw the contents of the bowl and rubbed his hands together in excitement, ''It smells wonderful, so it should taste just as good.''
He loved food and the meal Shi had prepared was a special treat. It looked delicious and he couldn''t wait to enjoy it.
''In fact,'' he glanced at the tea and turned back to Shi with a pleased smile, ''I love tea.''

She was quiet a short moment and then said *I used to make tea for Chae all the time. Sometimes the best ways to show how you feel is in the care thats taken in preperation to something that seems simple. I wanted to do something special for you, Nika. Not because you did so for my own birthday...but merely because I wanted to.*
It wasn't fair, was it? To saddle the present with so much when the past was still unknown? What right had they to pretend that they were free?
*I wanted at least this much from you.* she concluded. *These memories. This moment. It's ours. It will never belong to another. In that sense, it is a gift to us both.*

He sat quietly, staring at the sky and listening carefully to what Shi said. Something special for him? The young man rubbed the back of his neck and studied the food Shi had prepared.
It did look like she had put a lot of effort and care into planning tonight. A lot of time, too. How long had it taken her to come up with those riddles?
He wasn't sure what to say.
'I'll treasure these moments forever,' Nika slowly took her hand in his and gave it a gentle squeaze, 'I hope we can have many more.'
'And Shi,' he paused and tried to meet her gaze, 'just being around you is a gift to me.'
It was true. He loved being around her.
