#another......

They walk around Ragunna, the Carnivale still running. After Carlotta's performance with the Rover, she said her farewells and went to find him, her aforementioned lover.

“Oh, look there, a jewelry store..” she points, already moving to walk over, him following close behind, not wanting to lose her in the crowd of people. Carlotta looked specifically at the rings, some having big, shining, valuable ores, others smaller with more details and smaller gems. One specifically caught her eye though — one that reminded her of him.

The band of the ring was slightly smaller, not chunky, a blue gem shining in the middle, she thought it went well with his other rings as well, and the gem looked like the ones of her forte. She called over the jeweler, asking how much the ring was even though she knew she'd already buy it no matter how many credits.

“That ring is one of the more expensive here, I put it at about 50,000 credits,” his eyes widened slightly at the price, looking at Carlotta. Even though he knew she could afford it, he still couldn't help but be shocked as she pulled out a bag of credits.

“Carlotta, are you sure? That's a lot of credits—”

“I've bought for more before,” she says, quickly cutting him off as she handed over the necessary credits. The jeweler counted, and then grabbed the ring, putting it in a small, blue box.

“Here you are, Miss Montelli,” the box was gently placed into her gloved hands, Carlotta nodding in thanks as she walked off, her lover following like always. Once away from most of the people, standing next to a canal as she opened the box, studying the ring before carefully taking it out.

“Give me your hand,” she asks, tucking the box away as he looked at her lifting his right hand. Carlotta laughed, shaking her head. “Not that one, your other one,” confused, he puts his hand down and lifts his left handcas asked, Carlotta taking it into hers as she slips the perfectly fitting ring onto his ring finger. His face flushes slightly as he looks up at her, meeting her eyes as she smiles.

“Take it as a promise for.. something more, in the future.”
