She lets out a sigh of relief she didn't even realize she was holding and smiled. "Good! Erm... Yeah, Good. That you don't mind." She has to mentally kick herself to keep it at that, a little embarrassed that the topic even came up. She did like spending time with Keith, so she would have been upset if he was uncomfortable hanging out with someone a few years younger than him. Even if that would have been silly.

Oh! He's opening the gift now then- she has to bite her lower lip to fight back her nerves. She had put a lot of work into it, but unfortunately, she hadn't been able to do as much with it as she had wanted since she had found out last minute about her friend's birthday. But she really wants him to like it - she really hopes he'll like it still.

SO when he opens the box, he'll see a carefully carved wooden figurine made to match in appearance of the Red Lion, sitting in a bed of some kind of soft paper with its head angled up. It's painted to match red's color scheme too, and there's a -lot- of detail put in the figurine. And closer inspection will show there are very small screws in the joints, showing that the legs, feet and tail can both be moved - in case he wants to have it standing on a shelf instead of sitting or something. There's also a small card hanging by a string from Mini-Red's mouth, with a little lever to make the mouth open or snap closed, similar to the 'magic' lockbox she made that she kept her diary in back home. The only thing on the card though, reads, "Happy Birthday, Keith! I didn't have as much time as I wanted to work on it, but I hope you like this anyway. L Best Wishes, Marinette".

Marinette meanwhile, waits with a mixture of embarrassment, nervousness and anticipation to Keith's opinion. Hopehopehope!
