Quietly, he opened his fist - using his fingers to untie the strings that closed the little purse. Once it opened, Orlando reached for her hand - turning it, he emptied the content of the pouch on her palm. Letting her hand go, he spoke softly - wanting her to examine it herself. "It's a charm necklace, the shopkeeper said spirito libero means 'free spirit' in Italian"

It had seemed like the perfect gift for her. Orlando had decided to buy it almost immediately. The engraving on small round pendant had reminded him of KT so much. After all she was KT. And Orlando had wanted something to remind her constantly how brilliant she was - which he wouldn't be able to do after she would leave Hogwarts.

Katie lowered her hand after speaking, her words having been said and her point hopefully getting across to him that he was in no way at fault for anything or had any reason to feel bad. The Hufflepuff's dark eyes followed his hands as he pulled open a little fabric pouch and then reached toward her, her dark orbs blinking as a slightly puzzled look crossed her face, but made no movement to protest and allowed him to turn her hand. Silent all the while, but clearly confused. Her other hand went to up to pick up the chain as his quiet voice broke the slight silence, holding it between her fingers and letting the pendant dangle in her palm.

Spirito Libero. A small laugh escaped her, hearing Lando say those two words sounded so funny to her ears. She couldn't help it. Italian was natural to her, but this was the first he'd ever tried saying anything other than in english. It was cute. "It does," she breathed. The shopkeeper had been right, the necklace did translate to Free Spirit.

..Goodness. Is that how Lando thought of her? After.. everything; after their deeper talks and the incident and everything that had happened this term, Lando still thought that? He was far, far too good to her. Clearly, Lando thought too much of her. Lowering her hands a little bit, Katie's gaze finally moved toward the Gryffindor boy, a small smile hesitating on her lips. "Thank you, Lando. It's beautiful." She murmured sincerely, pausing for a moment. "I'm not sure I deserve it, but hopefully one day I can prove otherwise." Glancing down at the necklace once more, Katie held it out to him, "Will you help me put it on?"
