"I want to thank you again for all you did for to make the party special. I was quite touched by everything and meant so much." The captain swallowed, fighting the uncomfortable feeling that had been bugging him before turning back around to face his friend.
"And well you see after the party I seem to have found myself with something that I longer need," he mused holding it out for her to take so she could open it on the counter beside her. Inside lay his broom...well the broom he had had since 4th year and had brought to school intending to use to play all term. It was still in fairly decent condition due to his great care and probably had a good few years in it.
Kurumi gulped again. Wasn't that exact line the same thing doctors and nurses used before they gave you a shot? Sure, there really wasn't anything to worry about, but that didn't mean that it didn't hurt! "
It was nothing, really," Kurumi said waving her hands in front of her face when Simon turned his back to her - not that he could see her flailing around unless he had eyes in the back of his head. One one of those enchanted glass eyes. "
I-I ...we all wanted to make sure that your last birthday at the school was a memorable one."
Her eyes bugged out of her head when Simon turned around holding out a LARGE package for HER. It didn't take a Seer to know what was underneath the wrapping. "
T-T-This isn't your...." she stammered slowly taking it from him and pealing back the wrapper just enough to see the handle of a broom. "
Simon! I can't accept this! This is your broom! You've had it for so long and I...I...I am hardly worthy of something like this..."
In fact, she was pretty sure that the school brooms groaned whenever they saw her.
Kurumi removed the remaining wrapping and looked down at the broom in her hands now. Clearly, Simon saw something in her. Some sort of potential that she didn't. Selina saw it too.
"
Thank you, Simon. Really...I-I don't know what to say..." she chirped looking up at the captain and her cheeks flushing a deep pink. "
I-I-It's my first broom..."
As if that wasn't already obvious.
