Small Window

Lizzie giggled as she bit into the strange fruit again. Juice ran down her chin as she continued to happily munch on her breakfast. Meeko chirped at her, running back and forth between her shoulders, obviously excited at something. She reached her hand up rubbed at the top of his head, laughing when he almost fell off his perch from trying to lean in closer to her hand. She smiled and pulled a small piece of the fruit off and offered it to the small lizard. He chirped again, sniffing at it, then make a few clicking noises before biting into the piece Elizabeth offered him.

The sun was directly above their heads now. She stopped and gazed up into the treetops, smiling at all the hidden wonders she knew were somewhere up there. A nudge from Meeko made her look back towards the ground. Night had gotten ahead of her and was standing there looking at her, a confused expression on his face. She tilted her head to the side a bit, now confused about why HE was confused.

"How'd you get so far ahead of me, Night?", she asked. He blinked a few times, a smile slowly creeping onto his face. She tilted her head a little more and blushed sightly. "Guess I was standing there a while, huh? I'm sorry if I was.. it's just the trees look so amazing right now." Lizzie smiled and petted Meeko's head, scratching around the ridges over his bright eyes then were closing in bliss.
