Eden beamed because Professor Quiggles seemed happy with her three apples..even though Sophie had brought him a BARREL. Well then. Eden was satisfied, though.

She looked over at the bridge and wrapped her arms around herself, shivering only slightly. The fog was making her FEEL colder than she really was. Funny, what visuals could do to your thinking and sense perception.

At his question, Eden wondered what she would even find as a horrendous gift. Hmm. A really ugly sweater? Licorice? Dolls? And how would she react? She cleared her throat and raised her hand. "Sir--I think I'd just be polite and accept the gift...probably shut it away for awhile, or try to use the gift and make it into something I'd like--but yeah." Recycling a gift, but not in the way people think about recycling a gift--Eden LITERALLY meant just....turning the gift into something useful.

For example, an ugly sweater could totally serve as a warm cover up for her snake cages. Yep.
