Arcelia knew she was flirty, but she hoped her generosity made up for the lost kharma (if she believed in that, which was doubtful). She decided she'd show Theodore talking on AIM was good, even if it was just talking to her. He'd be social when he wanted to be social and he might bite her if she annoyed him. Not good, so she was careful. She could still have her cake and eat it too... with frosting.
After they wished each other belated happy times of the year, she brightened as he handed her a present as well. "You didn't have to get me anything," she said, "but thank you!" It was wrapped so well, it was almost a shame to open it, but she unwrapped it with care. A gorgeous bracelet?! He was worth keeping around for his good taste. "It's so beautiful! Thank you very much." Arc stood on tiptoe to kiss him on the cheek before she focused on his present.
"You needed something that reflects light and catches people's attention," she explained. "And it's from one of your first friends here, I hope, so it's extra special. Try it on!" She took the jacket from him to hold it out so he easily slid his arms through the sleeves. It looked fantastic on him and Arcelia had to get a picture of this. She retrieved her digital camera from her tote and snapped a photograph. "You looked hot, I couldn't help it." She grinned as she put the bracelet around her wrist. "The real question is, does it need a frosting finish?"
