VERY excited to get to see your (and Eren's) work on the Reunion art in sweet high quality! I'm seeking a bit of clarification: is Fjord's coat a gradient, or is that apparent color shift lightning and shadow?

Also, with all these wonderful details that we can see clearly now—the paint on Jester's corset, the holy symbol on her shoe, the subtle pattern inside Caleb's coat, Luc's bottle caps and knuckle "tats", etc. etc.—what's some of (or one of) your favorite details on the art?

Ahhh thank you!

Fjord's coat- omg so. I truly didn't mean to make a gradient, but now that I'm looking at it, it's the only conclusion that I can come to. My honest guess is that I meant to make it all the dark teal color that's on the top, but I forgot to change the bottom to match. There was a bit of zig-zagging greens and blues right at the end, there. The interior lining is def lighter aqua blue waves, though.

My favorite details... hmmm. Well, I have a soft spot for the bits that carried over from Ari's lvl 17 designs. Beau is mostly wearing her expositor stuff, but in a slightly different configuration. The interior of Caleb's coat, Fjord's pauldron (which has been around for A REALLY LONG TIME), Caleb's magic boots, Veth's crossbow.

Oh but here's a fun one- Luc's necklace is a direct reference to a necklace I made at camp when I was in middle school. We had a cool counselor who taught us how to wrap stones in silver wire and we'd use them for divination rituals after lights out (true story!). Mine was a different color, though. I'm not a huge fan of yellow and orange. Luc's palette, of course, represents Veth, his intimate connection to her, and his conflicting desire to differentiate himself from her as much as possible. Teenagers, amiright?

Of Lattes and Lab Rats- Chapter 10: The Party

(Wattpad version)

(Masterlist and TWs)

!!!!! TW: This chapter discusses topics of discrimination, alcoholism, unwanted sexual advances, sexual harassment, and spiked drinks. Please, please consider skipping this chapter if those things make you uncomfortable. !!!!!!!

"What do you think, Toffee? High heels or flats?"

Toffee licked at her paw, disinterested.

"Yeah, you're right. Flats are comfortable, but an event like this is once in a lifetime. I've gotta look good for him. High heels it is, then." 

You slipped on your shoes and took a moment to admire yourself in the mirror. You had tied your hair up into the fanciest updo you could think of- and manage to pull off without help. The dress you and Jayce had picked out together was absolutely stunning on you, as well.

It was a sparkling floor length gown, with a wide slit going up the thigh. It hugged your hips in a way that accentuated your curves quite nicely. The shimmering gemstone necklace you wore, and the dress's heart-shaped neckline, combined with the built in push-up bra, did wonders for your breasts. You almost felt like a caricature of a woman; someone you'd only seen in advertisements and illustrations. Your matching high heels added about two and a half inches to your height. You were used to wearing heels; but these were so dainty you thought they might snap and break your ankle if you took one wrong step.

From your ears tangled heavy gold chains, sparkling with polished aquamarine stones. You were practically glittering from head to toe; even your eyeshadow. You had planned your whole ensemble around the folding fan Jayce had bought for you the week prior- gold, salmon pink, aqua blue. Mostly, you wanted an excuse to use it in a public setting.

You huffed, pushing your palms against your face. You really were gorgeous; but you felt nothing like yourself. You wondered if you looked like the kind of women Jayce usually spent his time with. You hoped you wouldn't stand out too much-

No. You shook your head, willing your usual pessimism to go away. Tonight was supposed to be fun. You were going to that party to have a good time with your....hmm. Well, Jayce wasn't your boyfriend. You didn't think you had been seeing each other long enough to call him that. It had only been about two weeks since you met him. Lover felt more apt, given your sexual activities, but even that felt like too official a title. You were....friends, you supposed. Then again, friends didn't usually exchange kisses in public, or buy each other fancy dresses and exquisite jewelry...or fuck each other senseless. Sugar daddy crossed your mind for a moment, but that didn't feel right either. You weren't exchanging sexual favors for shopping sprees.

Alright then.

You were going to go to that party and have a lovely time with your friend, and meet new people and drink expensive alcohol and it was going to be fun, dammit. You took a deep breath, trying to calm your nerves. Suddenly, there was a sharp rap at the door. You stumbled over the piles of clutter littering your bedroom floor, wobbling through the living room, and finally opening the door. When you opened it, you found Jayce standing there; and you had a hard time keeping your jaw up off the ground.

He'd traded his usual button-up lab coat and heavy boots for a tailored three-piece suit and dress shoes. His broad shoulders filled out the white tailcoat nicely, accentuated with red and gold patches on either deltoid. He was freshly shaven, hair combed through, and his cologne wafted towards you. It was pleasant- like cherry and something wooden, mixed with the smell of a brand new book when you crack it open for the first time.

'Hey, you," he said through a grin. You collected yourself, fixing your posture.

"Hey, yourself." Your heart fluttered at the knowledge that your joke had become a familiar greeting between the two of you. "Um, I'm just about ready to go. Please, come in." You stepped aside to make room for entry, and he complied.

"Would you like something to drink?" You offered.

"No, thank you. There will be plenty of that soon enough," he chuckled. "You look positively radiant tonight, by the way." He took your hand, placing a tender kiss on your soft skin. You blushed at the gesture, the butterflies in your stomach fluttering about.

"Thank you. So do you. You look pretty good, when you're not covered in ash and grease," you teased.

"Hardy har har. Cmon, we're gonna be late if we don't hurry." He checked his watch, then furrowed his brows. Looking to your clock, then his watch gain, he backtracked. "Actually, never mind. If your clock is correct, then my watch is ten minutes fast. Which means," he stepped forwards, closing the gap between the two of you, "we might have time for a quickie, if you like." He leaned in for a kiss, his hand trailing down your arm- but you stopped him. His eyes widened, taken aback.

"I'm sorry," you cupped his face in your hands and kissed his cheek. "Not tonight, I'm afraid. I'm much too nervous. I don't think I would be able to focus." He pouted, and nuzzled his face in your neck.

"But mi cariñooo" he whined, "that gown looks so good on you. I just wanna take it ooofff."

You laughed at his contradiction and moved your hands to his shoulders, pushing him away. You wanted to get a good look at his face, study him for a moment. His eyes were such a pretty color. You wanted to get lost in them forever- but another thought occurred to you.

" 'mi cariño'? What does that mean?"

He hooked his thumb and forefinger around your chin, bringing your face closer to his. He didn't answer for a moment, only studying your face in return. "It's a term of endearment," he said finally. He pressed a kiss into your lips, and you relished in it for a moment. But you didn't stay there long; you grabbed his face again, pulling away.

"But what does it mean?" You insisted. You had an idea of the translation, but your knowledge of the language was rusty. Instead of giving you an answer, he kissed you again. You sighed into his mouth, feigning frustration. You wrapped your arms around his neck, and he slid his hands around your waist. Your kissing grew slightly more desperate; the physical contact you shared with him was both comforting and deeply arousing. He pressed his thigh into your groin, eliciting a moan from your mouth- but that gnawing feeling in your stomach persisted. You pulled away, breathless, trying to steady your heartbeat.

"We can't. I don't want to. Not right now. I'm...I'm sorry." His disappointment was evident, and you thought he was going to persist- but he didn't.

"Don't be sorry," he removed his leg from its spot. "I would never ask you to do something you weren't comfortable with." He squeezed your arm, trying to comfort you. "I won't try to initiate again, okay? You do it next time- when you're ready."  You nodded, swallowing.

'Okay. Thank you, Jayce." His expression softened, admiring you.

"Gods above, you really are beautiful."

You laughed, feeling bashful.

"Whatever, dork. I'll be right back." You flicked his shoulder and turned away to finish getting ready. You spritzed your favorite perfume on your neck and wrists, snagged the velvet bag from off your bed, and met Jayce back in the living room.

"Ready to go?" He asked. You took a shaky breath, willing the anxiety prickling at the edges of your mind to go away.

"Ready," you said. He opened the door for you and held out his arm for you to take- and you did. It felt more natural this time.

The two of you meandered up the street towards the academy. The party was being held on the rooftop. Jayce had said he was particularly excited about the view of the city from all the way up there.  As he prattled on about this and that, you found yourself spacing out. Your nerves were tingling, setting your skin alight with pins and needles. You tried to focus on the sound of his voice. On the wam summer breeze, the vivid sky under the setting sun. Piltover was truly beautiful at times like this. The gold and white buildings shimmered, almost reflecting the colors like a mirror.

Before long, you were standing on the frost steps of the main building, and Jayce held the door open for you. You curtsied as a joke, thanking him. As he led you towards an elevator, his expression changed- he looked nervous, hesitant. You frowned.

"Are you alright?"

He glanced down at you and opened his mouth, but no words came out. The elevator dinged and you stepped through the ornate gold doors.

"Jayce?"

He worried his lip, then finally spoke:

"Look, um...I don't want to be rude, or insensitive. But the people here...well, they're not as understanding as me." You blinked, flabbergasted.

"I'm sorry?"

"Well, it's just...I mean you should be careful. About how much you drink tonight." He winced. "I'm sorry, I'm trying to put this as delicately as I can. These people, uh...well they don't know about the kind of shit you trenchers go through."

You stared at him, a certain anger rising in your stomach.

"Trenchers," you said, trying to will away the venom in your voice. "I don't catch your meaning."

He took your hands, trying to calm you down. "I just mean that they wont be so forgiving of your drinking problem. They don't get it. So...try to rein it in tonight, okay?"

You snatched your hands back, scoffing. "Drinking problem? What are you talking about?"

Jayce went wide eyed, floundering. "I-"

The elevator dinged again, and the doors slid open before he could finish his sentence.

You glared at him as you stepped through the doors, and joined a line of people being checked in by security.

"You think I have a drinking problem? Just because I'm from the Undercity?" You whispered angrily, trying not to grab the attention of anybody else.

"No- I'm sorry, that's not what I-"

"Ah! Jayce Talis!" Your conversation was interrupted by a booming, pompous voice. You both turned to look for the source, and found a short, plump man with a round face and receding hairline. His mustache was curled upwards with wax, and he was dressed in a regal looking green and gold suit. He chuckled, and held out his hand for Jayce to take. "So good to see you again, my boy. And who's this lovely lady with you?"

He held out his hand for you as well, and when you took it, he kissed yours. The way his lips lingered on your knuckles, and the prolonged eye contact sent a gross shiver up your spine. You tried to hide it, and forced a pleasant smile on your face.

"Professor Cooper," Jayce said with poise, "This is...my friend."

You introduced yourself and took your hand back. "It's lovely to meet you, sir."

Professor Cooper stood up straight and fixed his jacket, chest puffed. "Jayce here used to be a student of mine," he said. "A real prodigy, that one. I think he's going to make huge strides in the progress of our great city." He clapped a hand on Jayce's back and laughed, loud and boisterously. His eyes slid over to someone else in line, and lit up with excitement. "Er- do excuse me, Jayce. My lady. Let's talk more inside." He turned away from you. "Helena! How are you?...."

You grimaced, and Jayce placed his hand on the small of your back. Your dress was cut low, leaving your skin exposed. His calloused fingers on your skin sent sparks shooting across your body- until you remembered your anger. Trencher, he said. You thought he was better than that. You hoped he was. You thought, with all his ambition to help people, and his care for lower class citizens, he would know not to use words like that. Trencher. You scoffed to yourself, blood beginning to boil.

Jayce glanced down at you, his shoulders tense. "Look," he whispered, "I'm really sorry. Please, let's just try to have a good time tonight, okay?"

You didn't meet his gaze. He was right; you were going to put on a pretty smile, and have a good time; he went to all the trouble of buying you a nice outfit and expensive jewels, after all. You could pretend to be a wealthy party animal for a night. But after this, you were certain you would have to reconsider your relationship with him. Trencher. The word rattled around in your brain like a rock stuck inside your shoe.

The line moved up, and Jayce handed his invitation to the enforcer posted at the door. He hardly gave it a glance, clearly bored, before he handed it back and waved you through. You crossed the threshold onto the rooftop, and gasped. People dressed in glimmering jewels and colorful fabrics were scattered about the space. Most of them were holding gold chalices, or tiny plates with even tinier hors d'oeuvres. A live band played smooth jazz in a far corner, and a few couples were swaying together on the dance floor. Tall, golden lanterns lined the railings along the sides of the building. And, Jayce was right; you really did have a beautiful view of the city from up here. And the weather was perfect; what view clouds that were in the sky were small, and fluffy, turned a soft lavender in the fading light of the sun. An open bar sat off to the side, with couches and chairs for people to lounge upon.

"I told you it would be be a nice view," Jayce said softly. He held out his arm for you again, and you almost thought about refusing it; but you took it anyway. He was the only person you knew here, and you didn't want to be left by yourself. "I think I see a few people I know over there. You mind if I say 'hello'?"

"Sure," you agreed. He led you towards the lounge, where a group of four people- including Viktor- stood chatting. Viktor was the first to see you to approaching, and raised a hand in greeting. The other three looked to see what he was looking at, and they all lit up at the sight of Jayce.

"Hey, guys!' He said, genuine cheer in his voice. "Um, this is my friend," he introduced you. Then to you, he said "These are my friends- Ellis, Felix, and Gideon. And, you've met Viktor already."

"Hello," you said, waving your hand sheepishly.

The five of them launched into conversation, talking excitedly as they caught up. You didn't have anything to add, so you stood at his side, observing them. Ellis was tall, lanky, and had a mop of black hair. He was dressed slightly more casual than the rest of them, wearing a plain button up shirt  with the sleeves rolled up, and slacks. Felix Was shorter, and more muscular. His golden blond hair was tied into a stubby ponytail at the base of his neck, and a scruffy beard decorated his face. Gideon was the tallest, but still nowhere near as tall as Jayce. A pair of round glasses were perched on his bird-like nose, and he kept pushing them up frequently- clearly ill-fitted. His hair was short, bright orange, and combed back with way too much hair gel. He looked greasy, almost. None of them were very attractive, you decided, and they all looked like textbook nerds. Which was fitting, you supposed.

Gideon snapped his fingers at a passing waiter, carrying a tray of snacks. Rude. He took one of the toothpicks, ladened with a piece of cheese, and...a tiny squid tentacle? Topsider cuisine was certainly different than what you were used to, you thought. You thought about grabbing one for yourself as well, but the waiter wandered off before you got your chance. You nursed your champagne instead, looking out over the city.

You were brought back to reality when Jayce guffawed, wrapping his arm around your shoulders.

"She really is a wonderful artist," He said. "I think it would look great in a gallery somewhere. You should see it- the way she utilizes color is stunning." You felt your face burn with the heat of embarrassment. You could tell he was being genuine, but you really didn't want to talk about yourself right now.

"That's kind of you, Jayce," you said.

"Really?" said Felix, taking a sip of his drink- something dark brown. "You don't get to meet many artists in a city like Piltover. Where did you study?"

"Oh...!" You floundered, trying to think of an answer. You didn't want to give any indication that you were broke, uneducated- that you didn't belong here. "Um, I studied under a former master. Uh, from Shurima." it wasn't technically a lie; you'd re-read Oil Painting Techniques and Applications by a Shuriman author hundreds of times by now. You couldn't really afford much else.

"Fascinating," said Felix. "Well, perhaps I should take lessons from you, sometime. I can hardly draw a stick figure!" He chuckled at his own joke, the others following suit. You forced a laugh as well. Never heard that one, before you thought sarcastically.

"Please," Ellis rolled his eyes, "you can't even write legibly. I almost failed Professor Cooper's final exam because I couldn't read your damn notes."

"Hey, you're lucky I even let you borrow them in the first place. It's your own fault you skipped class all the time," Felix bit back.

The conversation had shifted away from you as quickly as it came in the first place, and you took the opportunity to look around at your surroundings some more. These guys had nothing interesting to offer you, frankly.

The party was in full swing, now. The space had grown more crowded, more claustrophobic. You felt your anxiety return, like mosquitos buzzing under your skin. You tried to do your breathing exercises; inhale for eight seconds, hold for six, exhale for twelve. Over and over again, you practiced the mantra in your head. But noisy chatter grew louder. Your ankles hurt from trying to balance yourself on the tiny platforms you could barely call a shoe. The heavy earrings you wore made your earlobes ache. The underwire of your bra was itchy. It was too much; you were going into sensory overload. You placed a hand on Jayces arm to grab his attention without interrupting the conversation.

He looked to you, smiling softly. "Yes, pretty girl?" Your stomach fluttered at his flirtation, but you ignored it. You were still mad at him.

"Um, I'm going to sit down for a moment. I don't feel well." You tried to keep your voice low to avoid drawing attention. His face shifted to concern.

"Are you alright? Can I do something to help?"

You shook your head and forced another smile. "No, that's okay. You have fun with your friends. I'll be back in a few minutes."

He dropped his hand from your shoulder, nodding. "Alright. I'll be here if you need me."

Without another word, you stalked briskly over to the bar. The stools were all empty, thank Janna. The bar tender looked at you expectantly- and you realized he thought you were there for a drink.

"Uh- Sorry, I just wanted to sit down for a minute. Is that okay? Do I need to move somewhere else?"

He shrugged. "Whatever you want, sweetheart." He turned around to go back to his work.

You leaned over the counter, tracing the edge of your glass with your fingertip. You continued your breathing exercises, relishing in the relief your aching feet received while you sat. Finally,  you felt the buzzing under your skin wash away, and you relaxed your shoulders with a huff. You downed the rest of your drink in one gulp, standing to return to Jayce- but when you turned around, there was a man standing behind you.

"Oh! I'm sorry, please excuse me-"

"No, no, please," he said, looking you up and down. "pardon me, madam." His spoke in a low, baritone voice. He wasn't that much taller than you, and was muscular, but still soft around the edges. Clean shaven, strong jaw, curly brown hair framing his face. He was rather attractive- but you felt a pit in your stomach. Something didn't feel right. You pushed the thought away, chalking it up to anxiety. He held out his hand.

"Name's Enoch. And you are...?"

You took his hand, and he kissed your knuckles much the same as Professor Cooper. Must be a rich person thing, you decided. You told him  your name, trying to hide your disgust a second time tonight. He repeated it to himself slowly, his eyes landing on your chest. You suddenly felt very self conscious, and wished you could put on a sweater or something to hide your figure.

"Bartender," he said, without taking his eyes off you, "dirty martini. One for the lady, too." The bartender nodded, seemingly unbothered by Enoch's lack of manners.

"Um, that's okay," you said, taking your hand back- you almost had to tug it away, with how hard he was holding it. "I'm not drinking tonight." His eyes flicked over to the counter, where your empty champagne glass sat. He smirked, and your stomach dropped; you were caught.

'Well now, that's not true," he said slyly, "What's the matter sweetheart? You don't wanna drink with me?"

You glanced around, weighing your options. Jayce was too far out of earshot for you to get his attention without screaming, and his back was turned to you. You looked to the bartender for help, but he wasn't paying attention either. You were on your own. Better to play along, you decided.

"I'm sorry, you misunderstand me," you said, taking on a faux vampish tone, "I'm not drinking alone tonight." The bartender slid your glasses down the counter, and Enoch took them both.

'That's more like it," he said. "What's a pretty girl like you doing here by herself, anyway? I'm surprised the men aren't falling at your feet."

You forced a laugh, not reaching for your drink yet. You didn't want to get any closer to him than you had to. "Oh, I was just taking a moment to get acclimated to the atmosphere."

Enoch stepped forward, entirely too close for comfort now. He slid into the stool next to yours, and he gestured for you to sit, as well. You did. Just then, the band stopped playing, and you heard the tell-tale screeching of a microphone being turned on. You looked to the source, grateful for a distraction.

Heimerdinger had stepped up to a podium in front of the band, clearing his throat. "Good evening, fine gentlefolk. If I may have your attention for but a moment?" The space quieted as people turned to look at him, giving him the attentiveness he asked for. "Thank you," he continued. "I want to start off the night by thanking you all for being here for me. Truly, there is no greater gift than good company. And fine wine," he joked. Varying amounts of people chuckled softly. "Today marks my three hundred and eighth birthday- and my, what an excellent three centuries it's been. We've made so much progress in our great city, and I have all of you to thank for it."

"But there's one more thing I'd like to draw attention to. Progress cannot be made without some level of risk involved; I've learned recently that it's just as important as practicing caution. The student becomes the teacher, it seems, because I learned this lesson from none other than Jayce Talis-" he gestured out to where Jayce was standing, and the crowd of people turned to look at him. You tried to as well, but found that Enoch was blocking your view. He winked at you, and you tried to smile despite the growing sinkhole in your stomach.

"I'd like to announce," Heimerdinger said, "with great pleasure, that the council and I have agreed that it's time to move forward with the construction of Jayce's latest invention- the Hexgates. It is our hope that that they can bring about a new era of progress, and put us on the map as a global trade center." The crowd clapped, and cheered; you did as well, still confused. That was a rather vague description.

"Now I know you're eager to get back to the party, so I'll leave you to it. Thank you for listening to an old mans rambles." He bowed, and stepped off his little step-stool before disappearing into the crowd.

"Well, you said, standing, "That's quite exciting news, isn't it?" Enoch hummed, disinterested. His eyes skimmed over your body again, and you felt your arm hairs stand on end. "Perhaps I should offer my congratulations to Mister Talis." You tried to move away, but Enoch grabbed your wrist.

"What's the hurry?" He was grinning, but you saw the malice in his eyes. It was predatory. "We were just starting to chat. Don't leave so soon; I'd like to get to know you a little more." He offered you your drink, and you took it with your free hand.

You swallowed nervously. You grew tired of these games. You tried to tug your hand back, but he didn't let go.

"Come on, sweetheart. We've all heard the rumors; I know who you are. You're the Talis boy's new plaything, aren't you?"

Your heartbeat picked up the pace. How did he know that? What rumors?

"Why're you in such a rush to get back to him? He doesn't care about a sump rat like you. Stay with me, I'll take care of you, baby."

Sump rat. How could he possibly know any of this? Who was this guy? You froze, trying to think. He seemed dangerous; you knew you had to get away. But he had you trapped, and he knew it.

"Come on, baby, drink up. It wont be cold much longer."

"Is there a problem here?" You turned and found Viktor standing there, staring pointedly at Enoch.

Enoch looked him up and down, unphased. "No, there's no problem here. Right, sweetheart?"

Your eyes flickered between the two men, heart pounding. This could be very bad. If Enoch grew violent, there's no way Viktor could get the better of him. Then again, it was unlikely he would start a fight in front of so many people. At least, you hoped. You looked at Viktor with pleading eyes, and his brow creased lightly.

"Perhaps you should let go of her now," he said coldly. Enoch scowled. He finally let go of your arm, and you backed away. He stood, glowering over you, and leaned over to mutter in your ear:

"It's not nice to lead people on like that, slut."

He stomped away, leaving you and Viktor alone.

You exhaled shakily, tears forming in your eyes. Viktor looked to you with concern, speaking gently.

"Are you alright?"

You nodded, wiping the corners of your eyes before you actually started crying. "I'm fine. Thank you for stepping in."

'Of course, he said. 'I am sorry you were left alone with him for so long. It must have been...frightening. I am glad I was able to get to you in time, but I am surprised Jayce did not get to you first."

You shrugged, trying to appear nonchalant, and sipped your drink. Viktor's eyes windened.

"I- I wouldn't drink that if I were you-"

God, not him too. "Why? So I don't look like I have a drinking problem and make us trenchers look bad?" You snapped. He looked confused, and you suddenly felt bad. "I-I'm sorry. I shouldn't have...you didn't deserve that." You sighed, and downed the rest of your drink anyway. Anything to take the edge off. Viktor cringed, his shoulders slumping.

'Oh, dear-" he muttered, but before you could ask about it, Jayce cut in, calling your name.

"There you are! I've been looking for you. I thought you said you would only be gone for a few minutes, but it's been..." He trailed off, looking between you and Viktor. "What? What happened?"

"Nothing," you said flatly. "Everything's fine." You swayed, your vision swimming at the edges. There's no way you were already drunk; unless the bartender put more vodka in your martini than you expected. Jayce noticed, and his eyes landed on your empty martini glass.

"Are you...you're not drunk already?" He said with disbelief. "We've been here barely an hour. How much did you drink while you were gone?" You rolled your eyes, losing your will to be polite as your stupor grew.

"Barely two drinks," you scoffed. You were growing more and more annoyed the longer he stood there.

"Jayce, I think we need-" Viktor started to speak, but you cut him off as if he wasn't even there.

"I'm fine, Mister Talis." You poked his chest as you spoke, stumbling a little bit. He tried to catch you, but you pushed his hands off you. You'd had enough physical contact for one day. "I'm sorry that I embarrassed you tonight. I know I'm just some poor, poor undercity...girl" You gestured wildly as you spoke, "But I'm not your charity project. I don't need your pity just because I'm..." you squeezed your eyes shut, feeling dizzy. You felt a hand on your shoulder, but you didn't know who's.

"I'm a trencher," you finished, spitting his own choice of word back at him. You finally opened your eyes, prepared to shove Jayce off of you again, but instead found it was Viktor supporting you. You blinked, feeling your anger melt away into something else. You felt...elated?

Both men stared at you, both with concern and also clearly feeling stunned. At least, that was true for Jayce. Viktor pinched the ridge of his nose, inhaling.

"I don't mean to be rude," he huffed, "But if you're quite done having your little argument, we need to get her to a doctor, Jayce." Jayce frowned at him, confused. You giggled, feeling a little bit giddy. You were dizzy, and your head felt heavy, but your body felt warm and fuzzy. You found you had a hard time moving your limbs, or your mouth. It felt like trying to run a marathon under water, the pressure weighing you down and a current lifting you up all at once.

"Doctorrr" you slurred. "What a...what a weird word." Your vision swam, and you found you couldn't keep your eyes open any longer. Your knees buckled underneath you, and the world around you went dark.

Hiii, congrats on your milestones! 100k, is something I can’t even imagine (number wise) but it’s all because of you hard work, you deserve this and so many more wonderful things ❤️ I’ve always wanted to do a matchup, so if you’re still accepting could I have a matchup from a male from House of The Dragon. 

Aqua 🌞, but a Scorpio rising. I love to read, especially books set in period times or romances, one of my favs is Pride and Prejudice. I also love music though, especially Lana Del Rey, I’m all for the dramatics and theatrics. I’m a bit of an overthinker, sarcastic and I tend to be a bit “deep”. I enjoy spending time in nature. I like being alone but hate being lonely, I tend to crave but also run away from relationships. Also a romantic, romanticizing makes everything easier. I love astrology and learning about it, but I tend to keep quiet about my thoughts and interests bc it feels like a way to know me, (to be loved is to be known) which also scares me ig. 

I’m around 5’5 (wish I was taller), but someone tall is a turn off for me. I’m quite slim, I’ve got big brown eyes, and like black long wavy/curly hair. I like wearing jewelry, esp with colourful stones and jewels, heart lockets, gold. I love wearing florals, pretty dresses and skirts, but I also love wearing dark academia themed clothes.

Again, thank you if you can do it, and I hope you have a wonderful day :)

a/n: hi thank you so much for submitting a match up and i am still accepting! i did see your other ask btw ❤️ i can’t imagine 100k likes either it’s insane to me!!

you’re literally me too! i love lana, reading, dresses and all and idk if you’ve seen tvd but you kind of remind me of elena gilbert ahaha

i personally see you with…

jacaerys velaryon!

(you’re a cousin of the strongs in this + both 18)

the stars

you’d been waiting for the night time to come, all day. throughout meeting the king and queen, getting reacquainted with aemond, who’d been a friend of yours which not many had expected.

when the two of you were kids you use to read together all the time, you were and still are one of helaena’s handmaidens and closest friends. but not many found themselves close to the young targaryen. even after he was disfigured. you were always hesitant about getting to know others so you kept to those you knew.

what you also didn’t expect was to become friends with jacaerys, much to aemonds dismay.

jacaerys was kind, in ways most people in kings landing weren’t. he found himself seeking you out, and it took you a while to let him in. but as you grew up he found himself in love, even if you saw him as a friend.

jacaerys loved giving you gifts, it was his way of trying to turn his affection literal, as something you could have and hold.

two years ago

the golden necklace shone in the velvet box as jacaerys smiled, “it’s almost at pretty as you.” you could feel the redness in your cheeks as your eyes watered, “you don’t have to buy things for me jacaerys.”

“of course i do.”

and over the years, you let him in.

rhaenyra was supportive of the two of you, and she actively encouraged your bond however she could. your mother and father were hesitant at first, scared of you getting hurt or thrown to the side if the prince became disinterested. but you knew jace would never do such a thing.

as you grew up, more responsibilities were placed on your shoulders along with jace’s, but as long as you had eachother and your nights with the stars.

you could handle anything.

Appearance

Marin is built bigger than most girls, being on the broader side, but is somewhat in shape.  Marin’s skin is always tanned from spending time out in the sun and she has freckles crossing her face and shoulders.  Her hair is curly and dirty blonde in color. Pre-time skip her hair is around her shoulder blade in length. Post time skip she cuts her hair to right under her shoulder length and pulls it half up in a messy bun. She keeps a slid cut in her left eyebrow.  Marin’s eyes are turquoise blue, just like the sea waters she is named after.  During the time skip Marin gauges her ears to a size 4.

Marin has several scars.  Pre-time skip, she has a large scar running the majority of the length of her right shin.  Marin obtained this scar when she was running away from home and she slipped on some sharp rocks.  She also has a small scar on the inside of her left middle finger, but she can’t remember what caused this scar.  Post-time skip Marin has a roundish scar on the top of her left hand from where she was punctured during a fight before she could activate her Devil Fruit Power.  She also obtains a new scar that goes the opposite way across her right shin from banging her leg into a box on the ship. 

Personality

Marin is on the quiet side, especially around new people.  Once you’re friends with her though, she will do anything for you.  Marin is usually the friend that is left hanging towards the back, but she uses this to be observant to things going on around her.  Marin tries her hardest to be nice to everyone, but once you screw her over, she’s done with you.  Marin is honest to a fault, sometimes more than she should be, but you’ll never have to guess where you stand with her.

History

Marin grew up on a small island in the North Blue that was famous for their agriculture.  Marin’s family owned a prominent farm that her father and younger brother were heavily involved in.  Marin had more interest in swimming and spending time in the gorgeous waters that surrounded the area.  Marin became an excellent swimmer, rivaling even some of the mermaids that lived in the surrounding waters. When she was young, Marin made friends with a mermaid named Kelpie and they would play together all the time.  Marin’s parents were not happy about this, being lowkey racist towards any race that was not human.  People on this particular island were not fans of spending time on the water, as their livelihood came from the land.  Once her parents found out that Marin’s best friend was a mermaid, they did whatever they could to keep Marin away from the waters and away from Kelpie.  Marin would sneak out to swim and play with Kelpie.  Marin’s parents found her sneaking out one day and threw her in a locked room with no windows.  Marin would only be let out to use the restroom.

Rumors began to spread that Marin had to be half-Fishman or half-mermaid for as much as she loved the water.  This pissed Marin’s mother off, causing her father to accuse her of cheating, even though that was not the case.  Marin’s mother and father fought constantly and ended up taking it out on Marin, especially after these rumors came out.  Marin’s parents heard about Devil Fruits one day and how people who consumed them could not be in the water.  Marin’s mother and father sought out a Devil Fruit and were able to find a vendor who was trying to get rid of one.  Once they found this Devil Fruit, they stopped feeding Marin and only put the Devil Fruit in the room with her.  Her parents jested at her that she could only come out once she ate the Devil Fruit.  Marin had heard about how Devil Fruit users could no longer swim, so she held out for as long as she could before finally caving and eating the Splash Splash Fruit.  Marin was so hungry, she did not care how awful it tasted and ate the whole fruit.  Marin’s mother and father laughed the entire time they were letting her out of the room.

As soon as she was released, Marin ran to the sea to find Kelpie.  Marin cried as she told Kelpie what had happened to her and how she could no longer swim.  Marin was so depressed knowing that she could never swim she tried to throw herself into the water.  Kepie stopped her and said that she would always save her, no matter how many times Marin tried to get into the water.  Kelpie made Marin one of her clan’s famed necklaces that looked like the sea, that way she would always have a piece of the ocean with her, even though she could no longer swim like she wanted.  

The next few years were torture.  Marin’s parents and brother would taunt her about no longer being able to swim.  Marin eventually figured out what her Devil Fruit power was and was happy that it still connected her to water.  In secret, Marin would practice honing her skills down at a hidden spot on the beach with Kelpie.  Marin eventually learned how to manipulate water to be able to walk on and surf on it.  Marin’s parents never figured out what her Devil Fruit abilities were until the night she ran away, not being able to take their torment anymore.  Her mother and father tried to hold Marin back but she was able to slip through their fingers by turning into water.  Cussing her, her father pulled a gun.  Scared, Marin manipulated water to surround both her mother and father’s heads, submerging them and keeping them from breathing.  Panic coated their faces, especially her mother, as her mother hated even getting her head wet while bathing.  Marin said she would let them live if they let her leave and never looked for her.  Her parents finally agreed, so Marin dropped the water and ran.  Marin ran to the beach and surfed over the water and away from the island.  Kelpie accompanied Marin until she ran into the Baratie, where she passed out from exhaustion.  

Zeff found Marin and Kelpie explained to him what had happened.  When Marin came to, Sanji offered Marin food to help her get her energy back.  Marin thanked Sanji and he tried to flirt with both her and Kelpie, moreso Kelpie.  Zeff told Marin that Kelpie explained her story and asked what her plan was.  Marin explained that she had nowhere to go and no money.  Zeff offered Marin a job on the Baratie and she happily accepted, doing odd jobs around the restaurant.

Jojo ask: 4, 9, 16, 17 and 25 ;)

4. Best jobro or side protagonist?

My part 5 bias is showing but it’s Bruno for me. His relationship to his team, his fights, how tragic and bittersweet his story is, his weirdness, his character design, the way him and Giorno work as protagonists together, his sheer determination and the way he ties into the themes of part 5 auggghhhh it’s so good. I wish I could put my thoughts into words better but yeah Bruno is good <3

Also I may think Bruno is the best jobro/side protagonist but I also love my silly gun boy Mista and my traumatized spinoff plague boy Fugo and the rest of the bucci gang with all my heart and tbh Gyro’s probably a better character than Bruno but I would’ve needed to reread sbr to make sure so I just went with Bruno okay moving on

9. Best fight?

Oh god that’s hard actually, ummmmm, okay, my favorites from every animated part in no particular order:

Part 1: Youth with Dio/burning Joestar mansion fight

Part 2: Straizo, Santana, both Joseph vs Wammu fights

Part 3: Steely Dan, Death 13, D’arby the Gambler, Pet Shop, Vanilla Ice

Part 4: Aqua Necklace, the Nijimura Brothers, Highway Star, Superfly, Bites the Dust

Part 5: Beach Boy and Grateful Dead, White Album, Notorious BIG, King Crimson vs Metallica, Green Day and Oasis, Sleeping Slaves/Rolling Stones

Part 6: Foo Fighters, Marilyn Manson, Sky High, Underworld, Heavy Weather, tbh every time Pucci fights

16. Favorite ships?

Fugiomis (and all three “component” ships) is my absolute favorite ship, just. The way it has taken over my brain is ridiculous lmao I need to get better at drawing/writing so I can contribute to it because there’s not enough stuff with the three of them.

Other favorite ships of mine are naratrish, mistrish, gionara, fugonara, literally any combination of giogio, mista, fugo, nara and/or trish tbh let the mafia teens kiss, jonaeriwagon (I just rewatched part 1 and oh my god they are in love your honor), gyjo, bruabba, josuyasu, foolymes and caejose (can you tell I have a weak spot for jojo x jobro?)

17. Color schemes or early designs you prefer?

I don’t know if I prefer it, but I really do love Dio’s outfit from the Phantom Blood movie, I hope it returns as a costume in asbr or another game someday.

Speaking of asbr I also really love part 1 Dio’s default outfit from the original asb, his anime look is also great ofc but I just honestly like this more.

I also kinda miss Mista’s white boots from the manga, asb and eoh. I do think the anime’s dark boots look great and I don’t think the white boots would’ve looked as good in the anime but still.

25 . Random headcanon or opinion about character of your choice

I’m currently rewatching part 2 and oh my god Santana’s kinda terrifying? Like the way he contorts his body and possesses people (and the possessed say it feels pleasant like. what). It’s really cool in a really disturbing eldritch abomination way that makes him a very effective (and kinda underrated) villain imo.

[rararazaquato]

remember how i said i was doing pokemon gjinkas. yeah.

these are my first e4 team + my mono water team for pokemon radical red, a super fun difficulty romhack that has improved so much in the last few years. some neat little tidbits:

anne and perry are "sisters from another mister", as it were. they've adopted each other as family. perry's been bleaching his hair since he was young to match anne, a natural blonde.

a lot of the actual pokemon have different names/nicknames than their gjinkas. in fact, only anne, perry, mr. fish, and tamarindo kept their names. for the first team, sterling was called twink, mell was called nuts, and sammy was called bagel. the second team had a beverage theme, so octavia was horchata, del was milkshake, aqua was aquafina (like the water), kenny was kefir, and megan was latte.

i was gonna incorporate the salamencite into sammy's design. but then i didn't. partially because sammy is shiny and the palette would look weird, and partially because i forgor.

mr. fish and tamarindo are cousins! mr. fish's dad and tamarindo's mom are siblings.

radical red introduces a few regional forms exclusive to the sevii islands, but you get two random ones before the postgame. i soft reset for a seviian dhelmise, since that's the only one that's water type (except seviian feebas, but that loses the water type once it evolves). and thus, del/milkshake became my dedicated rapid spinner and also a major badass.

pockets on the outfit (so the ones on perry, mell, del, and kenny) indicate that they ran leftovers. anne's earrings and octavia's necklace represent the damp rock. mr. fish and tamarindo have choice scarves. megan has the gyaradosite in her belt (and again, i forgot sammy's mega stone). twink ran the punch glove and black sludge interchangeably, so sterling gets gloves with a slime pattern. and aquafina ran booster energy, so aqua's earrings are a similar color palette!

the mvps were absolutely twink and latte. for those of you who haven't played radical red, i need you to understand that lance has a primal dialga (not origin dialga, primal dialga. like the one from mystery dungeon) that runs a rest-talk set, lefties, roar of time, and flash cannon. and also it has filter as an ability. this thing is a fucking wall and only twink (3HKO with low kick) and latte (2HKO with crunch after 2 d-dances) were able to break it. absolute fucking champs, those two.

[patriciamatezz]

I just got a new keychain and necklace for my bday and I loveeee themmm.

The keychain is a dreamcatcher and the necklace has an aqua stone heart with a moon charm, EEKKKKK I LOVE WHEN MY JEWELRY HAS MOONS AND STARS ON THEM!!!

Jewels Alert

- The Royal Collections 

Now, that state visit between Windenburg and San Sequoia, we can talk about what the people really tune in for. As always, your royal fashion watchers here at The Royal Collections have all of the details on tiara’s and jewels and fashion of the royals. We’ve seen some new pieces and some.....older ones. Let’s get into the details below. 

First, we’ll start with the Duchess of Albany. Being her first state event, Miliana came to impress. She pared her Windenburg Green dress with a simple set of pearl earrings and a pearl necklace. We’ve seen the Duchess in these before, a go to staple in her closet. Her tiara, is one we’ve seen before, the Duchess wore the Pearl and Wheat Tiara on her wedding day.  The Pearl and Wheat Tiara is one of the oldest in the royal family vaults. Often worn by the second wives' in the family. The tiara was made and purchased in 1600's for Grand Duchess Edith, the 1st Duchess of Albany. She wore this tiara on her wedding day. Not officially owned by her, it's been passed down through the royal collection. It’s been worn by second wives in the family, something fitting for Miliana. 

Crown Princess Colette, pulled out the Vvess Pearl Tiara for this event. That being said, this is the Princess go to tiara. Gifted to Crown Princess Colette when she became the  Duchess of Cove, Countess of Courty, Baroness of Vvess by a few of the nobility. The large pearl drop in the middle came from Queen’s Roa’s collection as she helped with the design of the tiara. When the tiara was first made, it was topped with gold painted pearls. Since then, the Duchess has switched those out for purple, green, blue and red pearls. The Crown Princess also wore pearl earrings, paired with a blue and white one shoulder dress. 

As a way to highlight her future role, Queen Fern’s Tiara - The tiara was owned by Queen Fern. Though not of royal blood, she was of noble blood and the tiara was gifted to her by her family on her 20th birthday. Since then, it has been owned by the royal family. The tiara has been worn seen with emeralds, moonstone, purple sapphire's, ruby's, diamonds and tiger's eye. it seems as if the Crown Princess opted for the emeralds. The Crown Princess sported a large emerald necklace, and a re-wear green dress. 

Queen Josephine opted for a off-shoulder green dress, paired with her favorite pearl necklace and diamond earrings. The worn tiara is one of the Queen’s favorites as well. She chose to pull out Queen Mary the 1st tiara of Windenburg. Privately brought, this tiara shortly before she married into the family as she wanted to have something of her own. Originally, emerald's were used but pearls have also been worn with the piece.

This is another first, Princess Julia, now known as the Princess Royale, wore the same tiara she wore in her in her newly released portraits. This is her first state event. She has brought out the The tiara was personally gifted to the royal family by a close family friend. Originally, the tiara was made with diamond's and has been a go-to tiara over the years. Throughout those years, different stones have been used to top the tiara including, blue sapphire, aqua-marine, ruby's and emeralds. Tonight, the Princess Royale chose emeralds. The dress she chose is also a re-wear, paired with dazzling emerald necklace and emerald earrings. 

Queen Roa is no stranger to state events. This evening, she pared dark blue gown with a large diamond necklace and dangle diamond earrings. Her tiara, is called the The Cove Sapphire Tiara. This tiara was made in 1839 by the jewelry company, Belledu. The company was started in the province of Cove, which came under rule of San Sequoia when the Kingdom’s split. Firm supports of King Charles they were happy to move their business. Knowing that she’d need to fill the royal collection, Queen Ava personally invested money in the company via her family members. Since then, Belledu has been a long-favored by the royal family.

Lastly, the Duchess of Rocksavage, could be said the most dazzling for the night. She wore a green, sweetheart cut strapless dress. Paired with an emerald choker and long dangle emerald earrings. For her first state event, she managed to knock it out of the park. She is wearing the Malison Tiara, it allows for different gems and it has a long history. Some have said that the tiara is cursed, it was crafted by a spellcaster when Windenburg still found itself in ruling over Oasis Springs. It was said that whoever wore it, would be cursed with a sickness but as we can see, the Duchess managed to steal the show with such a simple tiara. 

As always, we’ll be here to talk about the fashion of the royals! We can’t wait for the neck big event!

History About Moss Aquamarine Gemstones

Hello and welcome to the World of Moss Aquamarine -

There is a feeling of Mystery and beauty that surrounds this Moss Aquamarine Stone. Like the word 'Aqua' in the word 'Aquamarine' suggests this Stone is believed to be a Royal hue in Blue that is delicate and easy to see.

However, when one concentrates on the Moss aspect of this gemstone the whole thing becomes much more interesting. We all know that Moss is a non-flowering green plant that grows in damp environments. So, it is reasonable to conclude the possibility that Moss Aquamarine is a Precious Gemstone where blue and green mix with green being the dominant hue.

This Gemstone is used as the Birthstone for people born in March, and it also serves as its Zodiac Stone for those born under the Scorpio Sun Sign.

This is a Unique Birthstone that utilizes Aquamarine precious Gemstone as the base.

Let me Tell You the Story of my Origin!

When it pertains to Ancient mythology, Aquamarine was thought to be the possession of Mermaids as their treasure. It was also believed to be an omen of bravery as well as protection and good Luck for sailors.

A Stone believed to provide forever happiness and youth, Aquamarine has a long history of being a well-known and highly regarded precious gemstone.

Aquamarine originates from the Latin "Aqua Marinus," meaning "Water of the Sea" in English. Aquamarine is part of the Beryl family, and it would be safe to say that Moss Aquamarine is another Rendition of the Aquamarine Gemstone.

Although Aquamarine is a clear as well as a Blue Crystal, it can also be bluish-green. This is due to iron Oxidization in the chemical composition of the Stone.

At the time, when Superstition was the prevailing belief the color Bluish-Green of Aquamarine was believed to be due to the Magnetic Aura that was the Moon and was also used to predict the future when the Moon's size was set to grow.

The mossy characteristics of the transparent Gem body are awe-inspiring and naturally occurring, with a bit of science that goes along with the process. Moss Aquamarine is known to be mined in Brazil, Africa, Madagascar as well as other places.

My Value and Quality -

Moss Aquamarine is a B or C grade Beryl with iron inclusions. So, it's obvious that there are small green spots within a Blue Aquamarine Gemstone.

There is Quality of Moss Aquamarine may alter based on the number of Iron inclusions that it has. In the case example when there is a tiny inclusion of Iron in Moss Aquamarine, it will give a more moderate look to the Gemstone.

If there is an abundance of inclusion within the Gemstone The Moss Aquamarine will let go of the green and blue hues and change to black. It would then be classified as a "Black rain Aquamarine'.

A Moss Aquamarine can only be classified as highly precious. The word about it on Internet has the fact that This Aquamarine is so rare that it can only be found in stores that sell rare Gemstones only. Moss Aquamarine is able to be made to make Earrings, Necklaces, and Bracelets.

A Quality of Moss Aquamarine will always have specks of green. This is why its appearance is muddy. If you are looking to put on jewelry that's unique yet striking, Moss Aquamarine should serve as a fantastic choice for you.

"I am a healer -

Moss Aquamarine has the power to nurture the notion that success is in the wearer's thoughts. When wearing it you will feel as if they have the power, time, and knowledge to improve the world as a place.

With its fascinating Origin It's not a surprise it is Moss Aquamarine has more than one Healing Property.

This Aquamarine is suggested for people seeking a distinct and distinctive character themselves. This Gemstone can also be utilized to boost confidence and boost your ability to express yourself.

The overall look and appearance of Moss Aquamarine Gemstone are special but it's pleasant to observe that people who wear it will feel as if have a great ability to communicate with everyone and anyone. They'll be able to talk with ease and will find themselves enthralling anyone they meet.

The most notable quality of Moss Aquamarine is that it can enchant your attention with feelings of calm and peace.

If you have it by yourself, even for a single day You will not have to face stress and the likelihood of being irritable and angry will be very low.

Last but not last, this Aquamarine is a beautiful gemstone to present to someone. A gift of this magnitude can also bring emotions about Love with them as well, as Moss Aquamarine has the ability to create feelings of affection and warmth.

Moss Aquamarine and Aquamarine also can enhance the experience of meditation. It is believed that this Gemstone can enhance your psychic abilities and if one meditates for long enough, they'll be capable of seeing their Guardian Angel by looking through Aquamarine Crystal when it's directed towards the North.

March Birthstone: Aquamarine

Aquamarine: The birthstone of March

The month of March marks the first season of spring. Aquamarine, one of the best known and beloved gemstone, is the birthstone of March.

Why Aquamarine was chosen as the March birthstone?

The origin of birthstone dated back a long time. Theories suggested that 12 stones originally symbolized the 12 tribes of Israelites, but those 12 stones are not the same as what we recognize today. Modern birthstones were revised by the National Association of Jewelers in 1912. The revision aims to adept modern aesthetic while maintaining original meaning. Traditionally Bloodstone was chosen to represent March, until the opaque color of Bloodstone falls out of favor to the modern taste for bright and glittery. The NAJ crowned Aquamarine as the replacement attempt to attract customers. The reason behind why Aquamarine was specifically selected to represent March is unclear. Most convincing theory suggest that the gemstone is the symbol for Pisces (Feb 19- Mar 20). Since the ancient believed aquamarine is the mineralized form of water, Pisces being a fish zodiac naturally have strong ties to the ocean. Aquamarine is a great stone for Aries (Mar 21- Apr 19) too, because the smoothing nature of the stone balance out the fiery energy of Mars, Aries’s ruling planet, thus achieving a state of perfect balance.

Rather or not the decision is based on astrology, the refreshing blue color of aquamarine matches spring vibe perfectly. To me Aquamarine reminds me of the refreshing water of early spring. A light blue with a slight hint of turquoise, this is the still chilly spring water from melted ice.

The many faces of Aquamarine jewelry

As previously mentioned, in antiquity Aquamarine was humored to be crystalized water, and thus commonly used as a protection amulet favors by sailor also merchants (because sea travel was the main way for transportation). Nowadays we known the stone is a mineral, a variety of Beryl. No matter these ancient customs applies today or not, Aquamarine is forever associated to the sea. Working with Aquamarine I often draws inspiration from the ocean. A member of the Beryl family, Aquamarine is a tough stone (Mohs scale 7.5-8) allowing the raw mineral to be cut in many ways: smoothing as bead, brilliant as faceted stone, or rustic in unpolish raw form. DINI is one of our most popular design. A solitaire Aquamarine bead is held by two lines of gold representing waves of ocean, allowing the gemstone to be view at all angle. Some customers suggest we should rename this Aquamarine version as Mercury, well noted.

LUCIA stud earrings feature faceted Aquamarine. The color is a smoothing aqua blue with a touch of brilliancy, in a classic and yet unique design. During the early phase I am debating rather to have a round design or an oval design. I concluded why not have it both at the same time? The metal circling around the Aquamarine going round then in a continuous line becomes an oval; my attempt to capture motion in a tangible form.

And we have LONDON, set with a raw Aquamarine mimics a cube of sugar in a golden spoon. Cute and dainty, this design is inspired by the British custom of afternoon tea. A great choice for birthstone necklace and comes with free engraving on the spoon tip to personalize.
