[He was caught in the middle of brushing off his shoulder when the door opened and he glanced up, then raised his head with an instantaneous broad grin.]

Fluttershy! How're you?

[strengthinkindness]

I'm good! [She opens the door wider, stepping aside a little to let him in.]

How are you? Did you have a good trip?

[beingthecreature]

[He steps in as she moves, and he gives her a smile.]

I'm alright. And yeah, can't really complain, trip was same as ever.

[strengthinkindness]

[Closing the door behind him, she smiles and gestures for him to take a seat on the couch.]

Would you like anything? I imagine it was probably a long trip...where were you Creature Adventuring this time?

[beingthecreature]

[He let the pack drop off his shoulders and after setting it by the couch, he took the offered seat.]

Y'know, not too far away, actually. We were clearing up the last few Asian longhorn beetles in a forest a few miles away.

[strengthinkindness]

Oh really? How'd that go?

[beingthecreature]

Well... Except for a momentary glitch with woodpecker suit, it went alright.

[strengthinkindness]

Woodpecker suit? What happened?

[beingthecreature]

Uh-hah, well... [How best to put this?]

You know how actual woodpeckers have the spongy cushioning in their skull to prevent headaches and other damage? [He shrugs, rubbing the back of his head.] Well initially the suit... didn't. That was accidentally left out.

[strengthinkindness]

Oh...oh gosh. Are you okay?

[beingthecreature]

Oh yeah, yeah! [He waved his hands, nodding.] I'm fine now. Just came out of that day a little extra rattled, that's all.

[strengthinkindness]

Mmm...well, okay... [She makes a note to keep an eye on him anyway.] So what happened with the beetles?

[beingthecreature]

We collected them up, at least the ones that woodpeckers in the forest hadn't started eating, and carried the captures back home to China. It took a few days, but I think we got 'em all.

[strengthinkindness]

Well, that's good...it does sound pretty tiring, though.

[beingthecreature]

A little, but it wasn't too bad with Martin and a couple of the Wild Kratts kids helping.

[strengthinkindness]

[She smiled, sitting beside him on the couch.] And the woodpecker suit? Fixed, I hope...

[beingthecreature]

Oh yeah, no problems with it whatsoever, now.

[strengthinkindness]

That's good. That's another suit you're going to have to show me sometime...

[beingthecreature]

Definitely! Still have to show you gazelle sometime too, and some of the other African creatures.

[strengthinkindness]

[She nods, trying - and barely able - to contain her excitement at the thought.]

I can't wait...

[beingthecreature]

Neither can I. [A little adjustment of his foot nudged his pack and brought his attention to it, and he smiled after a moment. His hands came together for a moment then came apart, fingers spread, with a little shrug.]

Speaking of 'can't wait', I... brought a little something for you.

[strengthinkindness]

[She blinks, surprised.] For me...? What is it?

[beingthecreature]

Well... [He gives her a broad, if somewhat bashful smile, dragging his pack over and opening it, reaching both hands inside.]

I saw this and it made me think of you, and that day those deer came right up to your yard while I was here. That was really special, and I remember you enjoyed it a lot, so... [He pulls out a plush fawn, turning and holding it out to her.] Here. For you.

[strengthinkindness]

[Her eyes positively light up when she sees it.]

Oh my gosh...! It's so cute~...!

[She takes it from him, as gently as she can in her eagerness, and she can't help but give it a little snuggle. Looking up at him, she gives him the biggest, warmest smile.]

Thank you so much...! I love it...!

[beingthecreature]

[He smiles, his hands resting in his lap when she took the plush from him. The light on her face positively lifts his heart, showing in his own expression.]

You're welcome. I'm really glad you do.
