↳@starsinshadows (reno) gifted: Set in a shaded spot by her door is a small white box with a simple cotton string holding it closed and tied with a bow. The little paper tag reads 'Happy Birthday' in thin, angular writing with no name attached to it. Inside, well, it's not exactly a cake, but it's a little cream puff from a nice bakery.

------SWEETS WERE THE ultimate way into her heart, in one form or another. aerith was not someone who was difficult to win over, but assuaging her with baked goods, candies, cakes ... etcetera was one surefire way to win her favor. she never expected anything for her birthday. at least, not from anyone other than elmyra - who she'd learned would absolutely do something for her birthday regardless.

perhaps she was foolish to think so fondly of the turks. after all, they were shinra affiliated ... but who was aerith to judge someone solely by their occupational allegiances? there was absolutely nothing stopping any of them from dragging her back to the company any time they stopped by - she knew they kept tabs, after all. and she did enjoy when they popped in, even if she was cheeky about it. she considered the scrawl for a moment, head canted to the side as she traced the lines of the lettering with her eyes.

tseng wouldn't leave a card. rude tended to write in all capitals, and elena had more of an outright cursive tendency. reno. powers of deduction sat aside, she pulled at the cotton string and gentle lifted the lid of the box. oh sweets. the dilemma was wanting to enjoy the gift for longer than it took to taste, chew, swallow ... but the little bit of gremlin in her had that cream puff in her mouth just moments after she had a chance to really look at it.

the delight. the flavor. the airiness. divine.

her mouth was still full when she said it aloud, " thank you, reno!~"
