Tiny feet took quick but quiet steps as she made her way towards the gang before her. When she was still a little ways off, she broke into a run, honey colored curls flying behind her as she pounced upon her best friend. Well, her human best friend. Neptune was, of course, her pony best friend. Her little arms reached around his shoulders, her body pushing up against his back as she clung to him, pushing him forward. Her giggles joined the sounds of his surprised scream and Ruby's honking, filling the air with the chorus of sounds. Neptune made his way up to them, settling himself near Xebyni and offering a nod and a sort of smile in Eurig's direction before focusing back upon his little one. He liked Eurig and his crew just fine, but he had to admit that he wasn't very fond of just how close Ni and Rig were.
Ni looked down as the contents of Rig's bag spilled forth, the gemstones and rocks glistening in the sunlight. Her hazel eyes widened in awe as she took in the colors before her attention was brough back to her friend. She came around to the front, embracing him just as tightly as he clutched her. As his fingertips left her hair she was reminded of the fact that she needed to ask him to do up her hair for her. He had become rather good at putting her honey curls up into a high ponytail and tying it off with one of her bows.
His golden eyes met her own, glee written in their gaze, and he spoke with a playfulness in his voice. Ni shook her head, laughing softly. Nu uh! If you had then you would have been the one to do a sneak attack!" She bounced lightly on her toes, her hands moving to her pockets and toying with the hidden bows before she moved on to wrap Aneria and Ruby in their own hugs. She moved before them then, clearing her throat to make the announcement.
When she pulled the pretty bows out from her pockets, she found herself echoing the joyful squeals of her friends. It was a joyous thing to make other's happy with presents. She was about to say more when Eurig and Aneria found themselves in an arguement over who would receive which bow. She stood beside Neptune, leaning lightly against him as the duo argued, knowing all too well that it would soon end. Once it had she offered a soft giggle and hopped over to Eurig, waving the golden ribbons in the air.
"You will all get one! They are all pretty!" Her laughter was contagious and even Neptune let out a slight neigh. A part of her briefly wondered if she should have just asked to make them all out of the sparkly gold, but the bright gold with a metallic sheen and the golden lace were just too pretty to pass up.
Her thoughts were interrupted as Rig spoke, asking if she wanted to a glance at the goodies they had found. She nodded excitedly and moved to sit beside him, plopping down on the ground. "Ohhh did you find any blue and green ones? Those are the best colors!" She grinned as she leaned over to peer into the bag. Her attention was again overtaken though, as she felt the soft fluffy fur rub against her hand. "Aneria! Hey girl! I missed you." She leaned over to gently boop her nose against the large cat's, giving her head a soft pet. Xebyni was someone who could be rather easily distracted.
It was then that she remembered the ribbons in her hands. "Oh! I need to give you guys your presents! But..." She nibbled lightly on her lower lip, unsure of who should get what ribbon. Her eyes cast unsure glances to the three, knowing that this would be a big decision to make. "Ummmmm.......pick a number? 1,2, or 3?" That was one way to make it fair right?
