Maybe I ran out of tiny boxes.

[She didn't, but she hands the box over. There's a tiny, yellow bird scarf as promised - very soft and fluffy and will definitely keep a small bird warm. But there's something else fluffy in the box too.

Another yellow scarf, a human-sized one. Since she doesn't know Hunter's name, it doesn't have his name on it like she did with her family members, but there is a cardinal embroidered onto it.]

[cardinalrule]

[Well, the bird scarf isn't a surprise or anything. It looks really nice, and should hopefully do exactly what it's supposed to do - keep one tiny bird warm!

Except he's looking confused as he takes it out of the box and focuses on the other scarf. The human-sized one. He's setting Rascal's scarf aside so he can pick that one up.]

I... didn't ask you to make this.

[nonmagical]

No, you didn't. But we all gotta stay warm, don't we?

[One scarf for a little bird, and one scarf for a human who cares about that bird.]

[Hunter is just. Taking a few moments to process this.]

[cardinalrule]

[... Well, it's a well-made scarf, and it is pretty cold out. The colour is nice and even though he will never, ever say it out loud the cardinal on it is kind of cute.

He takes another moment to straighten his expression out and try to not look as confused.]

Alright, since you've already gone and made it. How much do I owe you?

[Rascal, meanwhile, is going to flutter down from the tree branch and onto Hunter's shoulder.]

[nonmagical]

[Mirabel was told that she needed to charge for her products, and she will - but she did this before that conversation took place, so...]

No charge. I do this kind of thing for fun and practice. Consider it a gift.

[cardinalrule]

What? Nooo no no, I can't just accept this for free.

[She clearly put a lot of effort into it!]

I need to pay you. Or trade something, if you don't want money.

[nonmagical]

I don't want anything, really! I told you, I do these for fun. Charging for them would take the fun out of it.

[Even if her family insists on her charging for them, and she will... eventually.]

[cardinalrule]

[Hunter looks a bit put off by this. He isn't used to accepting things from people, especially things he didn't ask for. But what's he supposed to do, just not accept it? She's obviously put a lot of work into it, and it's really nice.]

I don't see how it would. This is just asking for people to take advantage of you.

[He gives an exasperates sigh, though.]

But fine. I'll still take them, even if you really don't want anything in return. [In fact, he's going to go ahead and put the tiny bird scarf on Rascal, who chirps happily. His cuteness ratio is increasing!]
