[ it's important it be his decision, no matter what she feels about it. so she won't say it out of respect for that, but she's sincerely glad he wants to continue despite everything. it means a lot for her to help him. ]
And... one more thing. [ she digs a hand into the pocket of her pants and offers him up a ring. ] I think you should decide what to do with this.
[ this is not what he expected. he holds out his hands, palms cupped, to take the ring, and once it’s in his possession he slips it into his pocket to free those fingers up. ]
No. [ her fingers go to toy with one of her hanging hair stands, faintly nervous. ] I think... I received as part of that quest. For what happened. It doesn't do anything, but I feel you should decide what its fate should be.
[ she’s giving him the freedom to toss it into the water, if he wants, in order to completely discard this past—but he could keep it as a reminder, too, of how they’ve made up.
he doesn’t like to forget things, so it’s only natural that he’d keep it. he nods. ]
[ a small smile settles in at his decision, and now she's glad she didn't take her first instinct to toss it. better in his hands. ]
Then you may. [ she nods and stands up, brushing her pants a little of dust. then she stops and smirks, a funny thought arising- ] Maybe you can even give it to Guren, should things progress to that point.
[ no, that’s the worst thing she could have said to him!! now he’s embarrassed, and it’s a good thing he can’t speak anyway or else he might actually choke on his own spit.
he shakes his head rapidly. just because they planned to run away together doesn’t mean… or maybe it does… and zelda looks so amused with herself, too. she got what she wanted from that, though, because now his ears are burning, and he’s got that look on his face that says he’s not offended.
[ yes she did get what she wanted, even if it's a little mean to pick on him. he's not as bull-headed as guren, who just gets exasperated, so she should be a little more delicate with him. but it feels good to laugh, to feel something lightened off her shoulders. ]
Sorry, don't take me seriously. I'm only kidding, honest.
[ she’s kidding, but that ring in his pocket suddenly feels quite heavy. even if he really isn’t bold enough to give it to guren like it’s nothing, it’s oddly nice that someone would even think to tease the two of them about that. it makes it feel real.
dextera likes the security, so even though his face is still red, he nods. ]

Thank you… for the ring. And the talk.

Mhm. I think I'll turn in early for the night. The past few days have really taken a lot out of me! I advise you do the same.
