"Papa! Papa!!" Meteion was running full tilt, until she unceremoniously found Lex by running into him. She gave a little oof, and then a gasp, hoping that her gift was undamaged. The blue egg seemed well enough, and she presented it with a little flutter of her wings. "I muh-made it myself! The-! The inside part, not the...outside." Inside of the egg was a handful of candies, each a different flavor. And while they were a wee bit ugly and misshapen, it was clear they had been made with love.
Lex had instinctively knelt down, checking that she was okay and about to ask the same when she passed him an egg. He had been so busy handing out gifts to others for Hatchingtide that he almost forgot that he too could receive something.
"Thank you, Meteion." Lex kissed her forehead, hands shaking softly. Gods, when was the last time anyone did something like this for him? Something so personal and full of love... it felt like forever. He popped one of the candies in his mouth to hide just how badly he wanted to squish her into a hug. "This means a lot to me."
