The staff of the House is DELIGHTED to be roped into Skellig's nest decorating efforts. The two of them are just ADORABLE, according to the gossip Skellig overhears between the workers. (He also tips well, VERY WELL, which has won him quite a lot of favor.)
Kreyu enters the room without knocking, knowing Skellig will hear her heartbeat long before she comes through the door. It's a good thing the door shuts on its own, because she stops shortly after she comes through it to stare in surprised delight.
She flushes. "You didn't need to do all of this for me," she tells him. "But I like it very much." Her fingers carefully trace the petals of some of the flowers as she turns to lock the door. "Gifts worthy of a queen, or a goddess."
She laughs, low. "I ought to object to you spoiling me so," she tells him, grinning. "But I am a dragon, and we are greedy creatures."
If her hips sway a little more than they usually do as she walks toward his couch, it is because the gifts she can offer him in this moment are less physical in nature.
