It was rare that she received mail anymore; more rare that it was address to her by name. The small package was light enough to toss about and the rustling inside promised some treasure inside waiting to be found. She looked it over a few times as if waiting for it to bite before opening it and taking the note from the top.
“Dearest friend,
Blah blah Starlight… blah blah gemstone..â€
Ooh. Shiny…
Â
The paper fell to the table haphazardly and she pulled the palm-sized crimson gemstone from the box and turned it in her hand. Her thumb moved over the symbol carved within it with a curious gaze. A fox. Rhysa smiled, turning the glassy stone in her fingers before tucking it into a pocket and leaving the innroom in a hurry.

She found him at the Westshore pier, gaze seriously poised on the waters in front of him as she crept to jab him in the side, “You look busy…â€
Â
His lack of movement let her know she was not as stealthy as she wished she was and she deflated slightly, “Just enjoying the view.â€
Â
She bounced on her toes a moment, “So! What’d you get?â€
Â
Kedi'ra's brow lofted high as he looked to her, “What’d I get who?â€
Â
She pulled the gem from her pocket, tossing it to him, “For Starlight. You didn’t get a gift?†She shrugged, “I just got it in the mail this afternoon.â€
Â
He turned the gem over questioningly, his brow furrowing deeply during inspection, “I have no idea what you’re talking about, but congratulations on the shiny rock.â€Â
Â
She frowned catching it as he tossed it back and began to follow after him back towards the city, “Ah.. I think it’s pretty.†A smile grew into a taunting grin as she tucked it away again, “Mm. Perhaps I have a secret admirer…â€
Â
“Good luck to them. They obviously don’t know you.â€
Â
Her ears pinned back, “You’re so rude…
