No bother at all! What can I help you with?

[hapertas]

i need to find some jewelry... well, i need a ring. i'm not even entirely sure what i want, but it needs to be really special.

[nunchii]

[ YOU HAVE JUST MADE THE ROMANTIC IN ROOK SQUEAL he is up on house gossip, thank you, and he also knows how tangled up you and Neve are. he can guess.]

A present?! I can help!

First question, gold, silver, or something else?

[hapertas]

[ Oh gosh. Well, he's very glad to have warmed a romantic's heart. His romantic heart is pretty fluttery about this, too. ]

thank you so much! you're a lifesaver, rook.

maybe something a little different than usual? he gave me a ring and it's not your typical materials.

[nunchii]

[ as it should be, this is important stuff!]

Don't thank me yet, we have lots of things to think about.

Okay, um, do you mind telling me what he made yours out of? Oh, do you want to make one? I can find things if you want and Sage could probably help make it.

[hapertas]

[ Hear, hear. You're a good one, sir. ]

ok, i'll save up my thanks while we talk!

mine is wood and he used magic to make it. so there's magic in it too. i could show you a picture, if you like! i know it means a lot, because nature's important to him. i don't know how i could put something important to me in something i give him though.

[nunchii]

[ except not really, but thanks for thinking that.]

Good! And I would love a picture, that could help!

Okay, so-- I think figuring out what you find really important would be a good first step. You would be surprised what you can find in the wide world!

[hapertas]

[ You're a good one, sir. ]

oh, right, that would be smart, wouldn't it? [ It takes a bit, but he manages a picture of the ring on his finger. Don't ask how he did that with no hands. Possibly there were a few failed attempts. ]

i bet! i really do want it to be special. something he'd understand right away. i knew what his meant immediately. i want something like that.

[nunchii]

[ ..... sure.]

oooh! That is really nice! Okay, um... what means the most to you then? Of things that are physical, that is. Making emotional things-- well I mean, it is possible to turn them into objects but not easy.

[hapertas]

[ Dash is a stubborn one, okay? ]

neve, he means the most to me. and this place and everyone here. if not for those things, i'm really not sure. there used to be others, but i don't know if i think of them as being part of my life with him.

[nunchii]

[ yeah a lot of you in this house seem to be stubborn.]

I think-- I think I can help. There is .. well there is a necklace that I have in one of my places that can like... hold memories? It looks like it is made of crystal but when you turn it just right... well maybe we can make it into a ring?

[hapertas]

[ Their hard-as-bricks heads shore up the stability of the house. ]

really?? you have something like that? it sounds so precious though. you don't have to part with something like that! and i'm not sure i could offer anything nearly as valuable in return either.
