"They're perfect," Lancelot assures him, and frees the toy from its paper so Lily can inspect it more closely. He grins happily at her as she sniffs, turning the bright smile on Faolan after a moment. "Thank you, Faolan. From both of us. It was kind of you to bring something, and especially for Lily."

Lily thrashes her tail faster and Lancelot gently steers her toward Faolan, whispering say thank you as he directs her at the other man's lap.
