Anakin grinned at her when she returned the hug, not really considering at all hiding the box from her sight. It was for her, wasn't it? Birthday present. And what was the point in hiding it? To wait for the best possible second in the conversation to bring it out and give it to her? No, if he did that he knew in the back of his mind he'd wimp out anyways. Merely because he felt like he was being too...cheesy. Or embarassing, and he was only slightly worried she'd laugh in his face once he given her the gift. And even having gone through all that in his subconscious before she'd appeared, An still grew nervous when she asked him what he held in his hand.

Gulping and glancing down at it, the teen blushed a little before handing it over. "Er...it's actually a present. Birthday present, for you." Inside was a pendant, laced by a simple thin chain. He had something he wanted to say with it, but wanted to wait until she had gotten a chance to open up the gift.

How was he? "I'm doing really well, thanks. How are all your classes going?" He'd for the most part, been skipping the actual lesson parts of class and collecting notes later when he turned in the previous assignment.
