Celestia had been in a good mood since yesterday.
Actually, good mood wasn't the right way to put it—she'd been glowing.
All morning, she'd been humming under her breath as she padded around the house barefoot, her hair still a little messy from sleep but her grin unstoppable. And sitting on the couch in the living room like an honored guest was the ridiculous, oversized bear I'd won her at the amusement park.
She'd made a whole scene about it last night. Declared she was going to name him Kai Junior. Then had looked me straight in the eye and added, "So now I'll have two Kais. My boyfriend Kai, and my soft one."
I was apparently "boyfriend Kai." The bear was "soft one."
Fantastic.
