She brought a coat - thank you very much. But there was something very runey about them that she had to check them out anyway. Either to get some new ideas, or...

"...It's kinda big." Never mind, might stick to what she has already.

Without speaking, he shakes out a cloak small enough for Puella. This one isn't procured by other means; he made this one himself. If she's going to come along on missions like these, he ought to give her something that can protect her.

It has protections against harsh temperature and impact embroidered into the cloth. He's no runesmith, but spell patterns you can sew into clothing aren't hard for someone who's proficient at sewing. Unlike the other cloak she's fond of wearing at times, it's a soft, pastel purple, rather than yellow. It ties at the neck with a ribbon, like most of the things he tends to make.

"There. You should try this on for size." He'd called her parents for her measurements to make sure it would fit her (and asked them to keep it a surprise), but she might have grown a bit since then.

Wait, was that..?

She had looked up for a few seconds, not even too sure what she was looking at first honestly, till it finally sank in. That one was closer to her size. Specifically made to her size, if she had to guess. Why else would it be separated from all the others?

"It's perfect!"

Excitedly, Puella lunged forward to grab the cloak and twirl around with it, holding it close. She could already tell that the cloth felt mildly heated just from the touch. She could easily wear this forever. Then again, considering Ekkehardt made it, she would probably do that anyway even if it wasn't heated.

He reaches out and gives her a gentle hair-ruffle, a soft and entirely genuine smile lingering on his face at her clear happiness with her gift.

"Ah, so you do like it. Very good. I wasn't sure if you would."

[hattersgonnahat]

"I love it!" That's fifty times better than just liking it. And that wasn't just because she was getting spoiled by hair ruffles either.

...Although if she is going to wear it all the time she will probably need to replace the band across her hat with something that matches. But that is something she can worry about later.

She also needed to think of something to make in return.

Perhaps it is more important to focus on the mission for now.
