#the present

by W.S. Merwin

As they were leaving the garden one of the angels bent down to them and whispered

I am to give you this as you are leaving the garden

I do not know what it is or what it is for what you will do with it

you will not be able to keep it but you will not be able

to keep anything yet they both reached at once

for the present and when their hands met

-The Rumor- @mimble-sparklepudding ❤︎

-The Truth-

There was never a ring, only a proposal from the heart. These are old, but I hold them dearly in my heart. This happened when Marian was recovering from her battle with Zenos and almost lost her life. (The reason her eyes and hair are lighter is because of her aether being drained in the past.)

They may not share matching rings in a traditional sense, but they do wear matching earrings. Both are made from a shard of the Ishgardian aetheryte crystal. Though, much later on, Marian did buy Estinien a wedding ring that he wears as a necklace.

I hope this cleared up the rumors going around. ❤︎
