At this point, Alaina has seen so much worse than a little height. This guy seems pretty nice and that's all that really matters to her.

Surprised, she accepts the stone graciously, turning it over in her hands to look at. It's very smooth and she likes the feel of it. "I may have to carry a bag around for it," she jokes, though her smile is warm with gratitude. "Thank you. I'll be sure to keep it with me and call you if I need you."

Tucking the stone into a pocket of her armor, she moves towards him. It'll have to be kind of awkward given their size difference, but she can try anyway. What it ends up being is her trying to hug his hand. Points for trying?

"And thanks for your help with my nightmare. You've been a great friend already."
