He was too busy trying to protect them to think about what colour the sky was, Allisae figured. But that didn’t mean Tahariel couldn’t receive any gifts for himself. Though, for some reason she felt anxious—afraid—to present it in person. The ghosts of past Seasons coming to haunt her perhaps? Or maybe she was afraid of him asking too many questions and feeling like an idiot….She settled for slipping it on him while she thought he was asleep. A small band of tiny bell-shaped flowers around his wrist woven with seven strands of her hair. It was small charm for protection as well as some spare magic to help him whenever he went off to work…

When he first felt her stirring beside him-- ultimately leaving the bed, for one reason or another-- he thought to ask her what she was doing, right away. Something, however, gave him pause, and he instead chose to remain motionless, as though he were still asleep.
She shuffles about for a minute or so, grabbing something that she seemed to have hidden sometime earlier, before returning to the bedside. Warm hands carefully pull at the blankets, and when he feels her begin to tie something around his wrist is when he finally opens his eyes to see what was going on.
It was a pretty little thing, simple though it was. From what he could tell, it was some sort of protection charm, but as to what exactly it did, he wasn't entirely certain just yet. But it didn't seem like anything concerning, and so he remained quiet. Watched Allisae as she focused entirely too hard on securing the bracelet in the perfect way...shouldn't she have noticed him staring, by now? He almost let out a chuckle-- he supposed that just spoke to how comfortable she was around him. It was endearing, in a way.
...Endearing? It was something that he hadn't really felt in a while, now. Foreign in the same way a lot of seemingly simple things were to him, these days.
A memory tugged at the edges of his mind; a hazy, in and out recollection of Allisae-- younger here than she was now-- accepting an armful of similar flowers from him. Her entire face lit up with joy and surprise.

"If you're so impatient for gifting, that you're sneaking out of bed so early in the morning, I suppose I could retrieve yours now, as well." He finally says, voice a bit rough with sleep, but still teasing. Reaching into the drawer of the table beside the bed, he pulls out a delicately wrapped jewelry box, which he then hands to Allisae. Inside, she would find a ring, adorned with an intricate motif of chercia flowers, and feathers.
"...I've been speaking as though we're still betrothed, but with everything going on, we haven't made it official yet, have we? I thought this would be a good way to rectify that."
"Marry me, Allisae. I want you to be my Queen; to be mine...today, and every day that comes after."
