With a small bob of her head Nayru nodded her consent as the woman took off, intent on retrieving a gift for the rabbit she had taken or for nearly trespassing. Although the Jiryu had told her that no such gift was necessary, she was moved that the stranger felt the need. Nayru recalled her travel from pack to pack, giving gifts on behalf of Dahlia de Mai, even to Inferni. Some had not greeted her so kindly, but others had embraced the gesture warmly. Some had even returned the favor, Inferni being one of them. The gifts of Inferni had instilled on her the importance of such an act, and though she wouldn't have before, she dare not deny anyone the opportunity for goodwill and friendship.

Focusing on the memories of giving and getting made the two toned lady's wait seem shorter than it was, although the woman did not dawdle. Returning she dropped a bunch of blooms from her mouth, but another request of "'moment" indicated she was not quite ready to present the token. Nayru said nothing as she waited another moment more, calculating eyes always upon the figure of the other. Nayru watched as the woman shifted, her body growing long and erect, opposable digits growing out of stiffer, less flexible ones. Quickly the woman set about to weaving together the stems of the blossoms and soon enough Nayru understood what was happening.

Once the woman completed the adornment, Nayru gingerly reached out to accept. As the gift passed between the two the younger lady smiled as the name of the other came to her for the first time. They had spent much longer than most would in each other's company, both without words or names and it was nice to know the other's title now. "X'yrin?" Eyes danced as she inspected first the flowered cuff and then again the woman's face. "It is a pleasure to meet you. Thank you kindly for such a fitting gift." Ichika was the land of flowers, surely, though the stranger could not know this. Gently she placed the crafted jewelry onto her body and turned her face back up to meet the amber eyes of the other. "I am Nayru. Jiryu of Ichika."
