[ There's no malice as she calls him "Shady", not exactly thinking what Shadow may be thinking... ]
Well, Dusky kind of means "shadowy" too!
[ And they're back to Dusky.
Fio bends down and gathers the fallen books into her bag. It's a mix of different children's stories, with simple vocabulary appropriate for a child in her age range. Unsurprisingly, some stories focus on flowers. Others focus on the sky and stars. And there's a few silly light-hearted tales of befriending monsters hiding in closets and under the bed. She likes all kinds of stories, but there's a limit to how much she can hold.
The flower that Shadow reaches for, is tucked within a page showing an illustration of a full moon and blocky stars hanging in a night sky. He might recognize it as the little yellow wildflower from earlier when she first startled the birds. It's like a little sun sitting on the page. ]
Do you like that flower? It needs a little more time to dry. I should've brought a bigger book, but this is all I have with me right now...
[ After tucking away one last book, Fio approaches, still wearing a small smile. She doesn't seem to mind that he pokes through the book. There's more flowers in the other pages should he decide to check. ]
