Silvano nodded at her assurances, shooting his eyes down at his legs. It was such an odd view, after being used to staring at things from his previous height. It was like the difference between looking at the first story floor while on it or while looking over the stairs. Like night and day. He flexed his toes, still shocked at how these were his appendages and that he was entirely in control of them. He bent a knee and lifted up his foot, twisting it to the sides to the ankle's limit. It was his foot, alright, but it was still different. It supported him differently now. Straightening his back slightly, Silvano almost gasped at how hard it was to stand up at his full height; it was more of a balance issue at the moment. Crouching slightly, he had better balance but he knew he looked ridiculous compared to the straight backed Savina.
His mother held something out to him and the boy looked up, emerald eyes focusing on the blue and white scarf she had shown before. That's right! It was his reward for shifting! He beamed, hands shakily reaching out to pluck the woven material from his mother's grasp. He rubbed his thumbs against it as he held it in his hand. It was soft. Throwing it over his head and around his neck, Silvano fumbled with it a bit, wondering how he was supposed to tie or how he was supposed to loop it around his neck or what. He decided just to throw the two ends on opposite shoulders, eager to get out of the room to test his legs. But before that, he gave his mother another hug. "Grazie, Mamma! Thank you so much!" As he pulled away from the embrace, he had his hands on his new scarf as he grinned broadly at his mother.
