Subject: Two favors...

One: What did you and/or Lorna make this ring out of? I need to know for thermal stress reasons. I'd hate to fuck up your handiwork by wearing it while flying and having the darned thing melt off my finger.

That would suck.

Two: Is the First National Bank of Dayspring still open? I asked Alison to go ring-shopping with me (since, as you pointed out, we've already fucked tradition).

She ain't cheap. Worth it and more, but I'm not going to embarrass her.

One: You'll have to ask Lorna about the exact metal composition. Suffice to say I can tell you pretty definitively that you shouldn't be wearing it when you're flying.

Two: I'll charge you interest in the form of babysitting services.

Subject: Fine.

One: I was afraid of that. How are you on touch-up jobs on the QT?

Two: So long as I can rope Alison in as well, you're on.

Three: I'm thinking of a synthetic diamond flanked by sapphires. Hell, just pick the image out of my mind already and tell me what you think.

You should really ask these questions before you go ahead and do what you're worrying about, you realize.

Why a synthetic diamond?

Because I'm a man of ethics and I don't want to support blood diamonds?

Besides, synthetics just seem _right_ to me. I mean, given who and what I am, what could be more apropos?

The point about symbolism is well-taken, but in case you change your mind, blood diamonds aren't the only option.

Tempting.

If Alison doesn't like the synthetics, I'll keep those folks in mind.

I am such a nerd. Spent a chunk of my day brushing up on melting points and the chemistry and physics of lasing.
