Upon hearing his confirmation, Piper's heart swelled with joy. It was all she wanted to hear. [color=FF69B4]"T-Thank you so much!"[/color] She exclaimed cheerfully, clapping her front paws together. With her tail wagging with glee, she dried her face with the back of her paws and listened to his explanation. [color=FF69B4]"That sounds so exciting! And the Mist Continent? I've never been there before! Oh, this'll be wonderful!"[/color] She squealed with delight, meeting his wink with a watery one of her own and a little giggle. [color=FF69B4]"Of course you wouldn't steal my spotlight, you're too kind~"[/color] Grinning widely, she shrugged. [color=FF69B4]"Wellll... I could always help you with that too... Treasure hunting [i]can[/i] be considered stea-"[/color]

Stopping herself when he raised a finger, she tilted her head. [color=FF69B4]"Yeah...?"[/color] She asked, wondering what he meant. [color=FF69B4]"Y-You have a gift for me?"[/color] She looked up at him, her eyes tearing up once more. Seeing the white scarf come into view, she gasped and stared at it in disbelief before cautiously taking it. With shaky paws, she fastened it around her neck, tears streaming down her face. [color=FF69B4]"I-I love it so much! Thank you! Thank you!"[/color] She sniffled and frantically wiped at her cheeks. [color=FF69B4]"I-I promise I'm not usually this emotional... I-It's just that... Well... I... I didn't expect all of this to happen today... I-It's so... W-Well you... you are just so kind... a-and..."[/color] Clearing her throat, she shook her head, afraid she'd say too much too soon. [color=FF69B4]"Umm... Let's continue on!"[/color]
