[ unlike actual phoenix, nick junior is a civilized gentleman who appreciates all pets. he leans into her hand, chattering happily at the attention. ]
[ it's really not much.... maya should have done more, but everything that happened in wonderland didn't exactly lend itself to birthday planning. still, her sister's smile is all she needs to lift her spirits. her heart swells! she did well. ]
I wonder what's in it.... You better hurry up and check it out!
[ mia will find a new scarf -- it's blue, and it's got gold little phoenixes on it. awww. no wonder nick junior was do eager to bring it!! it's him. ]
[Mia beckons Nick Jr's little head closer with a stroke to his chin, and then gives his dumb head a little smooch too, albeit slightly above his flames. It's weird getting used to touching fire, and especially putting it near your mouth, but it's the thought that counts, and she follows it with a little headscratch anyway.
She shakes her hair over her shoulder and out of her way to look at Maya.]
If that were the case, I'd owe you more from law school.
All I'm worried abiut making up for is actually getting to be here with you for a while.
[Why else would fate have brought them back together?]
[ finally, he gets the appreciation he deserves around here. he coos, appeased by the spoiling, and then preens. maya gives him a little scratch for good measure. ]
I won't say no to more presents.
[ she says, with a cute face. ]
But about that.... since you weren't here for the first mission, I wanna show you something.

Maya, it's beautiful! Look at that, that's so cute.
[She takes the time to hold out the fabric in her hand and really get a good at those little phoenixes.]
A whole little flock of Nick Jrs.
[Mia looks to her little sister and gets up enough that she can crawl over to reach for her-- for a hug, of course.]
C'mere, you sneak. When did you even get this?
no subject
I had it made, but I'm not telling you where!
[ nick junior also chirps in agreement. his beak is sealed, just like his master's. ]
[ maya eagerly returns the hug, grinning widely. ] We're really glad you like it.

[Despite this, Mia leans and gives her little sister a smooch on the top of the head with another little squeeze to accompany.]
I love it.
[She corrects.]
Thanks, sis. And thank you too, Nick Jr.
no subject
[ she is about to wink, but when mia kisses her, she flushes, embarrassed... but in that little kid way. ]
[ nick junior warbles out a complaint. where his kiss, huh!! ]
Awwww... sis.....
Technically, I should be giving you more presents. To make up for lost years.

[The first mission, that was--]
New Aspen? And Vista Virs was the second?
[or was it the opposite-]
no subject
[ they do have this cake though... ]
So what about it, sis? Cake over there and a special surprise?
