Apparently _somebody's_ been practicing his jewellery-making skills again on behalf of a certain songbird.
I found it today.
It's very pretty. Looks good on my finger.

PS - ~She asked me. How in the Prophet's name, may he live forever, was I supposed to say anything but yes?~

But SHE asked ME!!
Even _I_ know that it's supposed to be the other way around! I need help, and I need it in a big, big way.
If I understand things correctly, I'm supposed to give _her_ a ring, right? I don't know a _damned_ thing about rings. I don't even know what size she takes! She doesn't normally wear rings!
OK, I need to calm down, take a few deep breaths.
You've got to help me. Please.
I'm begging here.

Seriously, if you're going to fret about something, make it something more important than Alison coming up with a charming twist on tradition that you're both going to be remembering fondly when you're eighty years old and poking each other with canes in side-by-side rocking chairs.
And if you want to go ring-shopping, or want one made, yeah, I'll do it. Happily.

Think I have a grip now.
Nope, shit. No grip here. Complete lack of grippage. I am the Anti-Grip.
I'm getting married.
I'm going to sit back here and ponder that one for a while.
I. Haroun ibn Sallah al-Rashid. Am getting. Married. To Alison.
Nope. Still no grip.
RING! Yes! She deserves a ring. Is your telekinesis up for crystallizing carbon?

And as for my telekinesis... it may be. I tend to be able to turn things into glass real well, after all.

She deserves diamonds!
Clear, pure diamonds! Refract a laser through the facets!
Can you do that?
Haroun
PS - Or do you think sapphires would set off her eyes better?
