After a subtle nudge by Rin, Shippou approached Sesshoumaru, the flower crown clasped tightly in his hands.
A raised eyebrow was his only response, the daiyoukai currently reclining against a tree.
Shippou took a breath, chin high, gaze unwavering as he raised his offering.
"Thank you for teaching me how to hunt. I know I still have lots to learn. Please take me again soon."
Gold clashed with emerald, both proud in their own right, before Sesshoumaru inclined his head, allowing Shippou to place the crown on his head. Small hands shook as they lay the twisted blooms amongst silver hair.
"We go tonight."
