[There's silence for a second while he controls the seven juvenile urges that hit him at once. HOO BOY.]
All right, just worried it was something dangerous. I'll keep it for you, sure. I might let Keyleth know what it is, just so she doesn't get confused and think it's for her or something. [They are married already, but they still get each other jewelry.]
[Glinda is touch muffled as she hides her face in her hands.] I am a fool for love.
Entirely so.
But the last thing I want is to scare her off. It has been difficult enough to twist her arm into living with me. The thought of marriage would send her running for the hills.
'S all right, I won't tell. The secret is that I am too. I'm way mushier than Keyleth. [And she can get pretty mushy.]
I think you're probably right to keep it hidden and wait awhile yet. I don't know Beau all that closely, but she does seem the type to be skittish about commitment.
You are well matched. I confess I am quite jealous of how in love the two of you seem.
Yes. [It's an unfortunate truth that Beau has a real fear of being tied down.] But, in the beginning she refused to even sleep in the same bed overnight and now she lives in my house.

Vax'ildan.
I am afraid I must beg another favour from you.

Were Beauregard to find it, I fear it might send her off the deep end which means it definitely isn't safe in the house. Nor in the shop.
Meaning the safest place is with someone I trust.

I'm all right with that, but I feel duty bound to ask what it is.
no subject
It's...ah...well...
I didn't ask for it. Not that I haven't thought to that end but really it wouldn't end terribicatedly I do not think.
It is my family ring. The one that is passed through the mother's line.
For engagements of marriage.

I appreciate that, Vax.
I would not ask if I did not think I could trust in your discretion.

And, you know, anytime you want it back.
[He can't resist a little bit, and a smile can be heard in his voice.] Thought about it, eh?

I am nothing if not patient and persisticated.
