Her small fingers grasped over the gem, sparkling in a myriad of colors on her neck, balancing perfectly against peachy skin.
She smiles as she leans against the man beside her, and even if it isn't much to have to balance so much like this, to trust the other fairy as they'd once been before times changed and shifted like leaves under the steady flow of wind.
Tikki smiles, "Why, Opal, Plagg?" It doesn't seem like him to gift her a jewel, especially knowing how limited these forms are, how one day they'll be back to what they've been for so long; it surely wouldn't keep.
"Where we live now, Opal is the simple of hope and purity." Plagg smiles, "You've always been much purer than me, and I hope that no matter what happens, we'll always be this close." His dark eyes look almost anxious at revealing so much, and she remembers with a fond smile that he's not normally the sort to be so sweet and open.
It's a beautiful sentiment regardless, and it lifts a weight that she didn't know she had off of her shoulders.
"Thank you," She smiles as if some kind of light that she's seldom seen has lit up her face, "Plagg."
He smiles, "It was nothing."
She can't help the fact that she loops her arms around his waist tight, once, and holds on, nuzzling into his shoulder and just thankful to give him a hug and thankful for the gift.
Even after all these years of being friends though a little something more would be a better term for them, she still felt as if everything was nearly new in an odd way while remaining remarkably familiar.
Steady arms around her waist kept a part of her rooted in whatever they are, always had been from days before they were Kwamis, to being Kwamis, and now being something a little more human.
They may only have the next thirty years or so to be somewhat human though it still was its own kind of gift; she's well aware though that regular magic has a way of slipping away from humans sometime after they attain it.
The fact that a transformation spell was used to let the two of them be human for a short while was a gift from the humans that they have become close to.
Tikki was thankful for however long they did end up having; it had let her have today with Plagg after all, let her know all over again that she and Plagg are in this for the long haul, are in this for forever.
