Luke smiled as he put the object into his pocket. Since it had fallen off his cloak, it was better not to attach it again for now lest it fall off again. "It's a gift from my sister, so it means a lot to me that you kept it," he said softly. "You could have just left it behind, but you didn't. So... thank you."
