"Ah..." He seems to get a bit blue in the face, looking away as he shrugs. "I suppose the thought had crossed my mind at some point. They won't stop giving me the prizes."

[bestestfurrend]

"That's purrobably beclaws you won't stop winning," she teases him, before finally letting go and wandering over to inspect the pile. "Oh, yes, yes, she'll like these fur sure!" she adds with a sly side-glance at Darkleer.

[aim_exorable]

"I'm practicing." What? It's true. What do you mean festivals are for pure unadulterated fun? That's what he went to the hoofbeasts for. At Nepeta's not very subtle glance to him, Darkleer just hunches up his shoulders further.

"...I suppose so."

[bestestfurrend]

"But you practice all the time! This place is for playing!" she insists, staring at him. Unfortunately it looks like the more subtle suggestion that what her ancestor would like she'd like too has gone unnoticed. Sadness. She'd really like one of those plushies.

[aim_exorable]

She can take one! Darkleer would honestly not notice. Right now he's a bit sidetracked anyway. "But... It's an archery booth." What do you expect to happen, Nepeta?

[bestestfurrend]

That's not the same as being given one by him as a present! She still lingers by the pile, making herself look cute and wistful.

"An archery booth at a fair! It's meant as a game, not for target practice!"

[aim_exorable]

"But..." Oh, fine. He puts Archermedes away and wanders back to the pile where Svaeth and Dural are nestled quite happily. At least he finally notices something, however. "...Nepeta, did you want one?"

[bestestfurrend]

By now she's kneeling next to the pile with a sugar cube in her hand, spoiling Svaeth as she tends to do every time she sees him. But at Darkleer's question she looks up, blinking innocently as her smile turns into a beam. "Ooooh, you'd give me one??"

[aim_exorable]

Darn pony, he's spoiled all the time. At Nepeta's blatant cheer, Darkleer gives a kind of awkwardly helpless shrug. "Of course."

[bestestfurrend]

He is cute and therefore deserving of being spoiled. This is Nepeta's life motto. ...which may have something to do with her considering herself extremely cute too.

"Ooh, which one, which one can I have?" It's even better if he'll pick it out for her, of course.

[aim_exorable]

"Ah..." Crud, she's asking him to choose. Darkleer looks over the pile helplessly for a moment, trying to figure out what she would like. "Maybe... you'd like the star?"

[bestestfurrend]

"Okay!" she agrees readily enough, holding her arms out for it. It wasn't like she was angling for any particular plushie, she just wanted to be given something by Darkleer! ...and to go show it off to everyone and tell them who gave it to her. Especially Disciple.

[aim_exorable]

Darkleer is kind of not understanding why there has to be a whole ritual to this thing, but he understands that Nepeta loves to be cared for. So, still ever awkward, he bends down to pick up a light up star plush and hands it over to her.

[bestestfurrend]

She receives it with her arms and her eyes both wide open, squeeing softly and happily as she hugs it to her chest. Yes, she really does love being made a fuss of in this way, he has that much right. "It's purrfect!"

[aim_exorable]

Well, at least she's happy. That's all that matters to Darkleer in the end. "I'm glad you like it, then."

[bestestfurrend]

"Thank you, Darkleer!" she remembers to say once the star plushie has been well and truly hugged, and of course now it's Darkleer's turn to have a kitty troll trying to squish the stuffing out of him.

[aim_exorable]

Excited hugs are an inevitable occurrence when it comes to Nepeta. Darkleer is content with them, however, and he wraps one arm around her. That's all that's seriously needed. "It's nothing."

[bestestfurrend]

It takes a bit of maneuvering and climbing on her part, but she manages to get herself high up enough to kiss his cheek. "Oh, no, no, it's the bestest!"

[aim_exorable]

"I hardly think it is the best of gifts, don't be silly." He accepts the kiss regardless.

[bestestfurrend]

"But you won it so it's furry special! Heehee, I have to go show it to Equius and Tavros now!" Most likely to hint that winning even more plushies for her is an acceptable thing to do.
