see i know you know but i still have to say it.
i worry. i don't know if you realize but i have a lot of experience in breaking hearts ;)
so don't mind me if i overthink it. the last thing i want to do is hurt any of you.

but yeah it isn't to say that i don't want to marry any of you ever. it's just... felix is... felix. my best friend. you and dimitri and grant know a lot of what i have been through, but Fe lived it. and of course there's all our promises.

i'm not trying to rank anyone here but. i don't know. there just aren't words for him.

ok ok just as long as you understand.

i'm still kicking around ideas. it can't be too out there -- he doesn't like flashy things like that. nothing to obtrusive either, it has to be able to fit neatly on his hand and not interrupt his sword work. the metal should probably be pretty sturdy too -- can't have it getting damaged while he's training.

i was... thinking something silver. it's less gaudy usually, and would probably go with his complexion more anyway. besides, it's still pretty nontraditional, right? and what are we doing if not breaking every tradition there is in the book.

should it have a gem in it? part of me says no because that's pretty feminine, but then most guys don't wear engagement rings period, so maybe that's just backward thinking. either way, it would have to be inlaid for all the above reasons.

sometimes it's real creepy when you read my mind
other times, like now, it's very charming.
i can't see him wearing it on his hand all the time, though i get the feeling he would try
he'd always want it on him though
he's just. like that.
so a chain would be perfect.
again though, nothing too gaudy so it has to be a metal that can be sturdy without being too thick.

mm. kinda wouldn't mind avoiding gold altogether. i know it's "traditional" but honestly it's just...
too regal.
but hell felix could ask for a ring made out of leather and a shoestring and i would get it for him.

see gems are kind of like flower languages so id have to double check meanings here but.
i dont know part of me wants to say something red. something that's very... me. a piece of me wherever he goes.
you think its too much to have something engraved on the inside?

gautsome: (so no head?)
From: [personal profile] gautsome
that's the point claude. i want him to know that i've spent all the hours i have trying to find him a ring that says just how deeply i love him.
you only propose once
maybe. we might be the exception to that considering our four way situation but the point still stands that you only propose to a single person once.
ideally
i keep pointing holes in my logic.
anyway.

i have one chance to get this right for him.

... but you're right. colors that are more me would be more fitting. something like a citrine, on either side of a garnet, maybe?

From: [personal profile] gautsome
mmmmaybe
maybe i should just stop talking about it and actually get out and start looking.
only going to work myself up if i keep going on like this you know.

mm. think it would be stupid if i found a way to work a dusk stone or two in there? between the warmer colors?
... the first pokemon i heard about here -- the first one i caught, actually, was that sword thing. honedge. i thought of felix from the get go. probably would have named it after him if, well.

if fe himself hadn't shown up. no question that it would be given to him, you know.
just seems emblematic of our new life here.

... ah, that's probably too much. anyway, for the engraving i want it to say something like...
mm.
"stick together, die together." or maybe just "together until death."

i've told you about the promise we made, right?

it wouldn't be to evolve zoltan.
though i might get him one separate, just to be sure it doesn't happen accidentally.

honestly though i figured this would all have to be custom in the end. i don't think it would be felix if it wasnt custom
he doesnt fit into any boxes
i love that about him

but uh
yeah i guess till death do us part would be accurate but
mm. the wording is important.

we were children and i don't know if felix has ever told you this but he used to be such a scaredycat crybaby
and with miklan being miklan sometimes i wonder if he really was scared that something was going to happen to me
so we made a promise.
we would stick together until we died with one another

ive carried that promise with me a long time.
i don't ever intend on breaking it.

gautsome: (mm whatcha say)
From: [personal profile] gautsome
i hate that you're right about that.
maybe i'll take a jaunt down to the ring store here in a bit and see what i can find. see if they have any suggestions for making them work together, if that's possible at all. i'm not sold on it, the evolution stones aren't nearly as important to me as the rest of the pieces are. It was just a nice thought.

i agree that it isn't particularly romantic at first pass
but that promise has gotten me through a lot
it was a reminder through all of the things miklan and my father did that i wasn't alone
and that i had a reason to keep fighting back in the academy and for all these last few years
it's not romantic by itself but i can't think of anything that embodies how much and how long felix has been there for me

gautsome: (whats better than this)
From: [personal profile] gautsome
i know, i know.
maybe i just don't want to give felix and an excuse to look even more silly than he usually does.
you've seen the sleeve of his coat, right?
i can't have the ring he's going to wear for the rest of his life clashing just like the rest of him, you know ;)

you know i know we're talking about proposing but it keeps putting it into perspective when you say we're getting married
it feels real.
i'm gonna get married
happily
