season of mists and mellow fruitfulness

Feel free to PP them arriving together, Kris! Here's the ring :]

He held the charm in his clawed hand as he jogged along, fingertips rubbing against the ridges in the wood. Saul had given him the bear charm as a gift when they'd come of age, and Gideon wore it often as a reminder to himself of his family and his duties. In this new pack he was playing a new role, a different one than he had ever anticipated wanting to play. He was a warrior. So far, the male had been doing a good job. He'd defended his brother Saul's daughter Wretch from harm when she had been ambushed just outside of the borders and had chased the beast off after attacking it with a knife. They hadn't been able to find the secui after that, but they were still on the lookout even weeks after.

A bit of uneasy nervousness fluttered through his heart at the thought of the day's upcoming events. Gideon was a little uncomfortable being the center of attention at any time, but he would push through this ceremony and try to not to show it. Normally when the male became nervous he just became quieter, more thoughtful. He would consider his actions carefully before doing or saying anything today. He wanted things to be perfect for Nayru, for this to be the kind of day that she would remember and think of fondly for the rest of their lives.

Gideon had awoken that day like any other, nestled into bed beside his love. He'd told her that he was going out for a quick run before leaving, and had come back later in the morning with two things. Ever since the night that she had confessed her feelings to him, and he to her, he had been thinking about what he wanted to get her for this day. It had taken weeks of searching for him to find the shop in Tenton, and even then the place had been a complete mess. Gideon had gone down the street and had gotten some couch cushions to put over all of the broken glass in the shop so that he could get to the things that really mattered.

He'd measured her finger while she had been sleeping, and had brought the little piece of paper with him into the shop. He'd wanted to find her a ring. And so the male had begun his search once again, looking until he had found a ring that was to his liking. He'd already given her other jewelry in the past, but never one of these before. The one that he picked was a silver color with a bright ruby stone in the center. He hadn't wanted her to see it, though, and had hidden it inside the hollow of a distinguishable tree in the park that was not far from Cerne Rise.

While out on his run, he picked up the box and also a potted plant that he had been keeping downstairs. It was now in full bloom, he was glad to see. Gideon knew better than to pick any flowers for Nayru; he didn't think that the alpha of the pack set on re-growth would appreciate him cutting off the life of beautiful flowers within the packlands. So potted flowers it was. He came back up to the room to get her, keeping the box closed in one hand and the flowers in the other. "Ready to go?"
