it wasn’t news to anybody that you, vi, claggor, mylo and powder were a tight knit gang in the undercity. and you loved mylo and claggor, but the bond you had with vi and powder alone was unexplainable.

it was like family. obviously, those two were family, but you felt closer to those two than you ever had to anybody. you guys didn’t have a lot at all, you lived in a shithole and barely had any food.. but powder was the most grateful kid you knew.

if vander snuck her even a slice of bread from the last drop’s kitchen, she’d squeal and give him the biggest hug. she was so grateful to just be alive.. which is why you and vi decided to surprise her on christmas.

vi and you had convinced vander to hire you both at the last drop for a few weeks, and he did. it wasn’t a lot of money, but enough to save up to get powder a cute wooden ring from the pawn shop down the street.

it wasn’t much at all, but you’d think you just bought her a cruise judging on powders reaction.

“oh my god!” powder smiled excitedly upon seeing the gift. “this is so beautiful! thank you guys!”

powder attacked you and vi with hugs after displaying the ring on her finger, the grin unable to be wiped off her face.

vi nudged you and turned to look at you. “that was a pretty sweet idea, look at her.” vi’s gaze fell on powder, smiling softly before looking back at you. “you got a good heart, {{user}}.”
