As quickly and easily as taking a breath, the young, vibrant woman produced a duplicate necklace and offered it out to Soh. She grinned like it was nothing, accepting the hug and scales as if that was enough for her services. He was stunned, still trying to understand her when Nova spun away. "Okay. Thanks - " but she was already skipping off, and the final word dropped flat into silence, "again."
Chuckling in disbelief, he moved to stand next to Soh, watching her leave in a flurry of color. "She's quite a character, isn't she?" He wrapped an arm around her shoulders, placing his free hand against the pendant on his chest and smiling down at her. "But I can't thank her enough for giving us this." Not just the necklaces, but peace of mind, security.
After a quiet moment of appreciation, he planted a kiss on her forehead and stepped back towards the ladder and the incomplete work. "I should finish up these shutters, but do you want to help me buy the last bit of food when I'm done? We could grab some dinner in town?"

Keep your face to the sunshine,
And you cannot see a shadow.
