"Sneaky? That's all on you!!" she whisper-accuses Taako of his terrible influence on this innocent child in between breathless laughter. Which is quelled in stunned silence at Ren's insistent reassurance through the tent wall. She stares at Taako with big eyes for a wordless moment, before mouthing Grandpa at him in awe and bursting into laughter again. The mental image of a wizened old Taako still receiving heaps of birthday praise by this girl is, it's too amazing, how is she meant to cope? Ren, of course, doesn't look a day older in this vision.
Anyway Taako's birthday stick can definitely hold up to her own in terms of both glamor and whacking might and Lup gets ready to be assaulted with either, leaning away from him with defensive ears. Luckily both these shitty elves are instantly distracted by more presents! dropped into their laps! Hell yeah!
Lup unwraps hers delicately, pouring the various bits of treasure into her hand to look at them. Oh these are all going on the fridge and/or her hair for sure. But the real kicker is the drawing. A doodle of herself surrounded by the sun and fire like that's-- that's how she sees Lup? Why is that-- why does that make her heart swell, so much? And it hits her that Ren, she-- she really knows her. Knows both of them, knows what they love and did her goblin best to put some of those, those feelings into cute little items and remembered their birthday, their first birthday in so, so many years, and it's--
"This is-- the best birthday present... I've ever gotten," she finally manages, sounding kind of genuinely choked up about it as she smiles at Ren's beaming face. She's just gonna need a minute not to cry here, it's fine.
