What I want to do is terribly sappy and probably unnecessary because I am sure you already know, but I am going to do it anyway.
[Gently, Diarmuid pulls his hand from Waver's grasp so that he can open it to reveal what is inside. What lays in his palm is a hair clasp. It is a cylinder, hinged on one side and appears to be made out of brass though the base for the clasp was taken from a monster and so who knows if it is actually what it appears. Originally, it was just that...a cylindrical metal clasp, but it is obvious that Diarmuid has been working on it for some time because what was once blank metal is now covered with detailed carvings. The carvings are mostly knots formed by two different styles of lines coming together, though, no matter how hard Waver looks, it is impossible to find any beginnings or endings for the lines. It's almost as if the two lines meet to form a knotted circle and never part again.
Which is pretty much what Diarmuid was going for.]
I've been working on this for a long time--ever since I noticed the base on a monster I defeated. I was going to gift it to you at some point once I finished working on it, but after we talked in the Infirmary, I got to thinking it might be better used like this. When people wed in modern times, they exchange rings, correct? Here that would be too obvious, but you already wear your hair up and it has to be held with something. This...this would not be so obvious.
[He motions with his hand, indicating he wants Waver to take the gift.]
It might not be a ring, but it holds all of my feeling for you. All of my love and my loyalty. All of my everything else too. To be honest, I think I have felt that we are wed in my heart for sometime already. I am sorry if that makes you uncomfortable. I just don't know how to else to describe it. You mean that much to me. I always want you to be there and I always want to be with you. I cannot imagine living without you.
