The gift shop had been Luke’s idea. They didn’t really have much time to explore the places they were visiting, being constantly on the trail of the Azran eggs and all, but Luke can pretty much convince Hershel, Emmy, and Desmond to do anything with a little “please?” and some puppy dog eyes.
Luke gets Aurora a gift.
“I’m sorry… but I still don’t get it.”
“What’s there to get? It’s soft and it keeps you safe at night!”

Right now, he and Aurora were standing next to one of those shelves, practically covered with stuffed animals that represented their current destination’s animal population.
And he was trying to buy her a stuffed animal. Luke had more than enough at home, and buying your friends’ gifts was a gentlemanly thing to do. Unfortunately, Aurora didn’t quite understand the gesture.
Luke looked down at the soft little bird plush in his hand. And then back at Aurora.
He took one of her hands and placed the stuffed animal in it.
“Think of it as a symbol of our friendship,” he said, smiling brightly, “it’s bright-colored and loud on the outside, but it’s soft on the inside, kind of like me.”
Aurora chuckles at this, clutching the bird to her chest. “I guess you’re right.”
