Oxford listened with honest interest as she spoke, head tilted slightly as the words flowed from her mouth, showcasing her abilities to him. "I love music," he said thoughtfully. He'd never heard anyone play the piano before and at that moment he wished he had one in his possession to hear her. "Can you sing?" he asked curiously. Singing was such a talent, he thought. Anyone could learn to make jewelry or weapons if they gave it enough time. Singing and music in general was a skill one was born with. To Ox, that was more valuable.[/html]He noticed the happiness in her eyes as he offered her the necklace. At her modest words he laughed heartily and shook his head. "It was meant for you," he said truthfully. "It will bring out your pretty eyes," he said, attempting a compliment. Though it sounded awkward when it came out. After all, he'd never been too good with girls. Ox then took the necklace gently from her hands. "Here, I will put it on." Scooting back on the bed so he sat behind the girl, Oxford rose the necklace over her head so that it rested on her chest. Then he carefully latched it together and let it fall into place. Moving back to sit beside her he looked at the necklace now resting on the girl. "It looks very nice," he said, smiling.
