For that special someone (Self)

Cay walks into the jewelry store nervous about why he was here. He had finally decided to ask Devany to marry him. Of course now he had to find a ring to give her and that was pretty intimidating. He had done some research before coming in, so he wouldn't get robbed while trying to pick something that she would like while still in his price range. Granted Jawan was a relatively friendly and easy going place so he doubted someone would try to do that, but still better safe than sorry. Jean was not exactly known for it's jewelry selection. They did carry a fair amount of pearls, though, and they also were large carriers of Larimer and a few other gems that could only be found along the coast. So it was worth at least a look. Not to mention this place was just a mile from his house so anything he found would be easy to smuggle back home.

Eliot had been sitting at a nearby restaurant after finishing up a lunch meeting when he saw Cay walk into a jewelry store. Now this was odd. He quickly paid his bill and walked over towards the store. He peaks through the glass front doors and sees Cay looking through display cabinets looking at rings. Oh that boy was in deep trouble now. Thinking about asking his sister to marry him without throwing the idea past her OWN brother. This would not do at all. He walks in the store quietly so he could sneak up on Cay. When he's right behind him he whispers in his ear "So tell me when were you going to ask the rest of the family that you were going to marry Devany?"

Cay jumps about a foot in the air. He spins around horror stuck to look at who he hoped would be his new brother-in-law "Eliot! I ... uh... I..." he hangs his head in defeat, he guessed his surprise would be ruined now. "Yes, I do want to marry Devany. She means everything to me and after three years of dating I'd like to make everything official with her. Please, please, please don't tell her yet. I want to have this be a surprise."

Eliot sighs and rolls his eyes "Of course you want to marry my sister. You've been dating for long enough and honestly we were all just waiting for you to pluck up some courage. You should have asked me first though since I AM her brother." Eliot looks over to the jewelry case that Cay has been looking in and shakes his head." Obviously you know nothing about jewelry." Eliot grabs Cay's arm leading him to another case. "You won't find the selection here that you would somewhere like Aldrect, but at least here you won't have such a high mark up. I'm sure we'll find something." The woman behind the counter glares at him, but Eliot is completely unaware of it.

Cay softly mutters an apology to the woman behind the counter before looking into the counter with Eliot and nearly has a heart attack when he sees the prices on the rings. He gulps before looking over at Eliot "Dude I can't afford these prices. Plus I doubt that Dev would want a three carat diamond on her hand while she's baking. Let's look at these ones instead." He points to another display case to his right where there were slightly smaller gemstones for sale. The woman behind the counter walks over there with Cay to unlock the case. "These look nice."

Eliot sighs and grimacing at being referred to as dude. He hated when Cay would address him by his surfer lingo. It was very low brow. That was most surfers though. Thankfully Cay was decently intelligent and was a good match for Devany. He walks over to the case somewhat reluctantly. It's true that Devany wouldn't want a big rock on her finger, but she deserved the best. After all she was from his bloodline, she deserved to have nice things because of that. He peers in the case to examine the merchandise inside. "Hmm... That one looks nice." He points to a halo ring spinning on a small pedestal.

Cay points to a purple diamond ring sitting next to the ring that Eliot had pointed out. "I think she might like that one more." The woman behind the counter takes it out for him to examine telling him that he had made an excellent choice. The purple diamond was just over half a carat with three small white diamonds on either side forming a triangle shape. "I think she'll like it since that's her favorite color and she does like things that come in threes." He picks it up and holds it up to the light so he can see how it sparkles.

Eliot looks at the stone with Cay. He had been right about the center stone it was her favorite color. But he wanted to take a closer look to see how many imperfections he could find. He looks over to the sales woman and notices she's wearing a magnifying eye piece around her neck. He points to it "May I use that?"  The woman sighs and begrudging accepts his request. "Thank you." Eliot tells her as he steals the ring away from Cay to get a closer look. He knew that since this was a colored stone all color purity charts went out the window. However, clarity charts did apply. He turned the ring all around and at different angles to hit it with different light sources to find any hidden flaws that existed. "So tell me what rating is the clarity of this stone?" Suddenly he found a small flaw. Since it took him a while to figure it out he figured it must be a higher grade. "I'm guessing that this is an S1 level stone." The sales woman nods her head and tells him that's correct and that she could bring out the certificate for him to see.

Cay was slightly miffed that Eliot had yanked the ring out of his hand like that and scowls at him as Eliot is examining the stone with the eyepiece. He then realized that soon he was going to be part of his family too and grimaced a bit. It was worth it though, and honestly Eliot wasn't all that bad once you got to know him. It was the getting to know him bit that had been pretty infuriating. "Eliot, I think that's the ring that I'm going to give her." The woman smiles behind the counter. She tells him she'll be right back with the certificate of authenticity and congratulates him on his choice of ring.

"Nope this isn't what you want." The woman sighs and comes back to the counter. "I agree that this center stone is a good choice. However, this setting is all wrong." Eliot places the ring and the eyepiece on the counter. "Is there anyway that we can take this stone out of the ring and place it in another setting?" The woman nods yes. "Perfect. Let's look at some different settings then. I'm sure that we can find something that will top this one. Much like this one." Eliot points to a braided band that was full of small diamonds. "I think that looks just lovely."

The woman behind the counter pulls out the setting to let Cay get a better look at the setting. "Ya dude its nice, but," he holds up the band for a closer look at the small diamonds. "don't you think that she would want something more simple so she wouldn't have to worry about loosing stones in her doughs that she's kneading in the bakery." he places the ring back on the counter. "I'm sure that we could get a replacement policy on the little stones. But I know that a customer wouldn't be pleased to take a bite of a muffin and crack a tooth on a diamond."

"I suppose that is a good point. I'd rather not have a customer start sueing my sister over something like that. We'll move on to a different setting then." he wanders through the display cases trying to find something that would live up to his standards. He wandered to each case muttering to himself "No, no, that's not good enough, no, no." Elliot sighs and shakes his head. He may just have to drag Cay off to Alderect to find something more suitable. Only the best for his sister after all.

Cay shakes his head in embarrassment. He leans over to the woman behind the counter and whispers to her "Look, I'm really sorry about this guy. He's going to be my brother-in-law and he's trying to help. I know he means well, even if he comes off rude at times." The woman nods saying that she understood and she saw lots of customers like Eliot fairly regularly. Cay was very glad she wasn't offended and wandered over to where Eliot was. "How about that one on the side with the leaf design around it? I think that she would like that one a lot."

Eliot walked over to scrutinize the band. He examined it from every angle that he could. "I don't think that Devany is all that crazy about plants. This is going to be a no as well." He walks away from the case with a sigh. "I hate to tell you this Cay, but to find what you want we're going to have to go to Alderect. They have a wider selection to choose from and they'll be more likely to carry what we're looking for."

Cay sighs in annoyance. "Eliot, I'm not going to Alderect. Jawan is my home and I want support the businesses here." He turns back to the lady at the counter. "You're the saleslady here so you will know your stock best. My fiance is the owner of a bakery so she is constantly using her hands and  has a laid back and bubbly personality. What do you have available in your stock that would match up with what she would like and what she needs."
