[They've been mostly attached at the hip since news of the disappearances getting more widespread - and particularly since the heavy hitters were theorized to be more at risk - so at some point, when whatever it is they're doing around early evening comes to a close, Athrun takes her hand and gives her a tug.]
Hey. Before we eat, I have something I need to get in the shop. Come on.
[Whatever workshop they've commendeered so he can make a bazillion scout drones (Haros tbh), in other words.]
[He makes a faint, amused noise, and does in fact give her another tug to get them moving again. Always gotta be in charge... (He loves it, though.)
It's a quick walk to the workshop from here, and once they arrive he beelines for the pile of scout robots he's been trying to build for the sake of rift travel. There's one small, simple box tucked away (half-hidden) under the pile, and he finally lets go to un-bury it and offer it out to her.]
Here. I'm... not very good at presents. Or presenting them. [She knows this, after this long.] But I hope you like it.
You're good at presents, Athrun. Kira, Lacus, and I would wholeheartedly debate that with you.
[Anyway, she takes the box, looking at it curiously. Her gaze lifts to meet his momentarily before she opens it to reveal a small robotic hamster. Cagalli's eyes widen a little.]
[Well!! He will accept the compliment if she says so. But he really only builds robots for people, so he's screwed if someone comes along that doesn't like them.
Thankfully her response isn't that.]
Of course. Is it alright? If you don't like it, I can make a different kind.
That'll do. [At least she's decisive.] If you run into any programming troubles, let me know and I'll fix it. But it should be similar to Birdy in affection, at least. And energy.

totally does
Did you leave something behind? That's not like you.
no subject
It was intentional. I left it behind so you wouldn't see it.
[BABE C'MON]

W-well, we better get going, huh?
[He should probably tug her along now, because she's looking a little embarrassed herself.]

Really? You made this one for me?

[The box is placed on the work desk and the hamster removed. Cagalli holds it in her hands, peering at it with wonder and curiosity.]
Does it have a name?
no subject
I thought you might like to name it yourself.

[He'll go ahead and turn it on for her.]
