She turned the tarnished thing over in her padded palm as she, without any intention of it, sought out the Thistle King in his Thistle Kingdom. The journey to Halifax had been somewhat successful, if not entirely. She'd at least found something to pacify her Lord and Master. There'd been gifts for the new princesses of Salsola as well, but there was no reason to bother the new mother while Sirius' voice rang in her ears. Fire eyes envisioned the mottled King, and again the tarnished creation was turned over in her palm. Would it be enough? Did he deserve more? Of course he deserved more, but would he feel so entitled? She wondered in silence if he would be disappointed with her meager gift, but she had only been thinking about his...well, his vanity.
It'd been a set, the silver-backed brush that she'd found in the ruins of some feminine vanity hidden away in a rotted old home. She'd nearly killed herself trying to retrieve it — steps on the staircase had fallen out beneath her slight weight and one golden leg still bore the streaking wound from dragging herself from the wreckage, but she'd retrieved the hairbrush that she'd been so set on presenting to him. Slender fingers rubbed at the healing striations. A hand rose to knock ever so gently on the edge of the Boss' dwelling. "Sie-reese? Ahre you ahveilable?" It was improper of her to call him by his name when others might have been listening, but she had a tendency to show little care about such trivial things — 'Boss' was a silly term, while Sirius evoked a sense of desire.
