To a child that's had few successes in her life, hearing the happy falter in Lup's voice and Taako's praise is enough to make her feel like all that lowkey sneaking around had been worth it. The days she claimed to have found no treasures so she could sneak them into holes while everyone was sleeping, the afternoons spent doodling in the woods and looting whatever glue and spices were in her immediate line of sight-she hoped it would make them smile.
That's all she wants to see is their happy beaming faces and we're proud of you feels crushing in its own way. People don't say that to her and the only response she can muster up is a happy little bounce on the balls of her feet as she waits to see if Lup is proud too. If maybe, for once, they can feel her heart in these gifts, in the same way she feels their kindness with every little trinket, meal, and hug they give to her. But in the meantime, she happily adds-
"I'm very proud of you both of you. You always 'crush' it."
