Oran is likely tired of orange peels, but he would absolutely want a shiny rock! I can imagine him using it as a focus for a light spell and keeping it next to the bedside table regardless of how Even feels about having made it.

Oh, Even knows not to give him orange peels. Oran's still the only one he knows who hates sweets (and probably especially so, after all the sampling he no doubt had Oran help him with). Oran's not getting a food-based gift from Even at all; listen, he cooks for you most days, that's not going to be special!

No, this, I think, is when Even gives Oran the jewellery. It's a full set of golden chains, necklaces, horn-danglies and horn-caps, rings, bracelets, anklets, earrings (and other potential piercings). He's constructed a small wooden box and has arranged the lot of them nicely inside; on the top of the box is engraved a pair of constellations. Even has spent much of his hobby time back home learning the constellations both of his own homeland and of others, and he's chosen a pair: Jauhar and Selan.

When next to one another, these two bring out the best in each other: the wealth that is beauty, the dance that is sincerely caring for another person.

In one of the more thickly adorned necklaces, too, there is a small note on thick paper, handwritten and rolled up tight and hidden in a hammered-gold heart: not meant to be found, but meant to be kept.

Oran Vegalthon, Aster of the wastes, I see you and I know you and I will keep you and protect you as best as my mortal hands can.

There is also a blessing written somewhat incongruously in Infernal: a small piece of superstition that Even would not admit to. He's enchanted a few of the bracelets with Bless, only one charge a day, including the necklace with the note: that one, he's also infused a little bit of Prestidigitation into so that it glimmers extra shiny.

Oh gosh, that's so incredibly sweet. He's going to be impossible to get all of that gaudy stuff for days, regardless of what he's doing or who he's visiting... well done, Even, you win the prize. (He may also be really really annoyed and delighted to realize there's a secret message! He's got all kinds of identification spells yet he wouldn't think to use them on Even's present.)

HUR HUR. Ya boy can be sneaky!! and it may not be a gd pseudo-proposal, but the sentiment is there I assure you

[vegalthon]

Look, they can be no bromo roommates and bedmates for life, can't they? Why does Even need to rain on his parade?

(And who's getting who gold rings, eh?)

>:] between the two of them, they'll end up with all the ingredients for a wedding.

someone had better give them some white dresses or something
