Nexus laid the cup down gently on the table.
"Well," he began softly; "Stick with me, and I promise you, there's going to be a whole lot more of these first time experiences. Just like. . ."
He lifted his hand and twirled his palm in the air- like he was snatching something invisible;
". . .just like this. . ."
He lowered his palm- gradually bringing it closer to her face. A faint glint of metal shimmered inside his closed fist. It glinted off the invasive sun's rays- glistening and shining mysteriously.
Crystal's features contorted in surprise. Her eyes followed his hand- watching in slow motions as Nexus unfolded his fingers- revealing the surprise within.
The pendant's reflection glistened in her dark eyes- bouncing off her irises in streaks of golden flashes. Her mouth opened in awe.
"Here," he said softly; "Take it. . ."
