If You Like It Then You Shoulda Put A Ring On It
Who; Nida and Ignis
What; Engagement Ring Shopping
Where; The Markets
When; One Morning in April
Warnings; These two are sickening sweet?
An agreement had been made early in February, and Nida had taken his time to think about it, to be certain. He made it all the way into April before he awoke them early on their joint day off. Nida slipped from the bed early, made them a hearty breakfast, and then offered Ignis his hand.
Today we shop, he had said, which was basically a confirmation of 'yes, I'm sure about this'.
Dressed for the cool spring weather, and with the fog gone, Nida smiled and led his lover out to find a good jewelry shop or two. It was time to figure this out.
"So," he said as they walked arm in arm through the markets for the first target, "do you have any thoughts to start with on the rings?"

Ignis of course figured it in practical terms since they were already out, why go out a second time? But he was going to be careful here and let the other weigh in. This wasn't up to either one of them on their own.

"I didn't know men might wear two bands," he said. "Women's rings are so small, so slim, so they do. The first one is sorta a 'possession going to happen' and the second is 'married'. But men's rings are so large."
Was two really even viable?

But he waited to see what Nida would say. Maybe he was correct and they had no business wearing two rings. He was just now almost completely lost.
no subject
Oh no, the world isn't prepared with its customs to deal with men wanting other men. They're both very confused. At least they're confused together.
"Perhaps we can find two simple, silver bands? Think ones, to serve for engagement? Could that be the answer?"
An engagement band, simple, he could put that on with no issue he thought. The engagement was the words, the agreement.
no subject
"That sounds like a good compromise and I suppose we can see what we can find. That will be part of the fun of all of this." He didn't want to ruin anything Nida had in mind as a solid plan.
Girls he'd seen in the citadel would have their wedding plans written down. But Ignis never entertained the idea of being married. Fate had certainly surprised him here.
no subject
"Would you like that arrangement?"
no subject
Of course he could never show this, long having since schooled himself not to show anything except someone calm, collected, poised and in control. And of course he knew with something like this, there were so very many decisions that had yet to be made here.
"We won't discover anything by standing out here. And while I'm certainly one for rules and tradition, if we have to break or remake one of those traditions, then this is our engagement and wedding."
What would you think about handwaving from here on? We'd only be rehasing things i think
"Onward we go then," he suggested with a smile.
