She was grinning and excited about this present she had gotten him, and her light eyes seemed extraordinarily happy.

Before he could stop himself he brought up a hand to hold her jaw very gently, leaning forward and placing a warm kiss to her cheekbone. He wasn't sure why, in that moment, he had decided to kiss her cheek, but there was just something about her honest happiness that in turn made him even happier. He dropped his hand from her jaw as he returned his attention to the gift, flashing her an amused smile, wondering how she would take that last little gesture.

But he didn't think on it too long, as in the next moment he was unwrapping the present and dropping the gift into his open palm. And it was...a snail..thing? His eyebrows rose as he examined it, his light brown eyes flashing from the gift, to Aspen, and back as he let out a weak chuckle. "You got me a snail," he noted with a warm smile, seeming confused but somehow amused.

Of course Aspen got him a snail.

Ohh...

Oh he...

Aspen's cheek had been KISSED! By Cornelius! It had! She entirely ENTIRELY entirely had not been expecting it. Besides, he was doing it... backwards? Kissing her before the gift? Was it because he knew her present would weird him out and he needed to show his appreciate BEFORE he opened it?

Or something else?

...did it matter? It was way too much to consider at once and she was just going to enjoy the explosion of butterflies in her tummy and worry about Cornelius's motives (or lack thereof) later. Aspen clutched her hands together in her lap and grinned and ...even giggled a little.

"It's a snail," she reaffirmed. "A spell-checker snail." See? It's head bobbled up and down or side to side. "You put it on your parchment as you write... and it'll ... he will tell you if you're using the correct spelling. In theory. I did the charms myself on it, so it might not work exactly."

Did she need to point out that she'd drawn a white spiral on it's side? Just so that he was a unique snail. He was Cornelius's spell checker snail and only his! There was also a string so he could wear it, but she definitely wasn't going to force that on him.

.... she unconsciously reached up to run her fingertips across where Cornelius had kissed her. That spot on her cheek was SURELY aflame!
