[Excuse the owlish-eyed girl with the weird pasted-on smile. She has things to talk about!]

Attention...!

I will not use names, because I don't want to embarrass them, b-but...! I needed to tell a very particular pilot something very important! And that is this: if you do d-decide to propose to Miss L — to, ummmm... to your girlfriend, you should not give her a ring made out of spaceship parts. Because that's kind of strange to wear. I believe that sort of advice should be applied to everyone, though...!

Unless the person you love really, really, really enjoys spaceships.

I suppose we should all wear what makes us happy!

I do admit, I've always wanted jewelry... I-I mean, I know they're very expensive most of the time, but I've never gotten to wear any before. Maybe I should make some! Oh, but I don't think I would be very good at it... Is there a particular way to make nice jewelry, even for someone like me? Necklaces and rings and....

....

I don't think I can wear earrings. That seems like it would hurt.

Ah!! I apologize, I guess I've been thinking so much about different topics! Like — games, and stories, and stuff to wear, and so many new things that I've never gotten to enjoy myself before. I think I even have.... friends! Do I? Is there a level that I need to reach with people before I can be friends with them? P-perhaps there's a way to officiate friendships...

Maybe with rings, like marriage! Friendship rings!!

You sure it isn't the thought behind the ring that counts?

I suppose so... but it would be silly to give someone something they wouldn't like...

Like... Like giving someone strawberries when they're allergic!

[wolvenmemory]

Fair enough. I know a girl who'd probably want the ship itself more than a ring.

But the person you're talking about probably knows them better than that.

[Or they could just be an idiot. But he's not responsible for the outcome.]

[scrubscrub]

[Yessir! But uh.]

I guess that would be a good gift to get married. A ship is a pretty big present...

It would show a lot of, um...! Commitment!

[wolvenmemory]

[And would prove you had money for blood.

He makes a face at the thought. Though it fades pretty quickly.]

Yeah. Commitment.

[He'd give her 48 hours before she flew off with it. Alone.]

You look like more of a ring girl to me though. Never had jewelry, huh?

[scrubscrub]

N-no sir! It was forbidden, and I would have been severely punished if they had caught me with such decorations!

[wolvenmemory]

[Well, that makes him pause.]

...Wait, what?

[Who the hell would punish a kid for wearing a ring or a bracelet? Just what kind of people had she been living with? His mouth thins.]

Well, nobody's going to stop you here. You got something like string on you? A strip of leather or some kind of cord?

[scrubscrub]

I said it was forbidden!

[She totally thinks you just misheard, so. There you go.]

But I don't, actually! But perhaps it'd be easy enough to find some, though...
