"This is Scorponok. Leave a message, as I am busy at the moment. If you want to see the infant, send me a text before you enter. Don't you dare knock and wake her up."
[Star Saber will always feel awkward about messaging Scorponok, but he knows this is the best way to check on Aura Froudine.]
[He types up his message, hesitates for a moment, and ultimately sends it out.]
Hello, Scorponok,
This is Star Saber. I was briefly in my own world before returning here.
I hope Aura is faring well. I am currently at the Starfield Convention, and I would like to purchase something for her. Is there anything particular she would be interested in?
[It's been a long day at Smidneyland, going on rides, finding that one of them broke down, uncovering a brewing robot takeover, and rescuing Matsune Hiku and her little minions. Aura Froudine had an amazing trip.]
She's happier that she had ever been. We have the perfect holiday AND she has a new set of friends and babysitters. But I won't turn down another present.
I need something educational for her. Do you have any puzzles or similar toys?
[Star Saber makes sure to purchase a version of the toy with brightly colored eggs. His concerns are mostly with choking hazards, so if she happens to chuck the eggs around, at least she's still having fun and staying mostly safe.]
[The present will be dropped outside Scorponok's door, neatly wrapped and bagged, alongside a note addressed to Aura herself.]
Hello, Aura. This gift is from Star Saber. I hope you'll have fun!
