birthday ask // always accepting !!
❝ Ah, there you are, Sett. . . ! ❞
Wraith approaches && more quickly closes distance, smile warm for him alone. purring as fondly as a housecat, held within clawed hands is a neatly wrapped box, held out toward the pit's boss with the same sort of reverence befit a king or perhaps even god. ❝ I ... admit, I was a bit pressed on what to get you, and it has been - over a thousand years now since I've prepared anything of the sort ... ❞ he's talking to fill the air, anxious now that he was in the moment but smiling still.
❝ I wanted to wish thee a happy birthday, Sett. To celebrate your life && the years to come is a joy I hoped to attribute to. Surely, the world itself would be a duller place if thou were to be absent from it. ❞ Within the box is a swirled ring of camavoran make ; not made by him but painstakingly found && polished from its previously tarnished state. Golden, of course, to be seamlessly made an addition to what Sett largely owned — and lastly, a chain ; for as large as Sett was, the wraith had some doubts it may actually fit despite looking for the largest he could find.
❝ It is not much of a gift, I admit ; but I hope it may yet please you. ❞
( if you like it then you shoulda put a ring on it---- a littol gift for sett !!!! 🥺 ) ( @camavala )
the one standing before him wasn't the sun of a summery morning, yet the warmth emanated from it ⸻ the unassuming carrier of such comfort, only ever paid attention to by its absence; and albeit others might overlook that kind of humility, the kind that went hand in hand with the boldest and strongest on runeterra, the half-beast saw it entirely. some stood out from ego, others from a sense of inner strength and inborn courage... he was the latter every bit of the way. thus, not despite because of his sense of flair, not despite because of the eccentric quirks of his peculiar character, the beast [ whose claws and fangs were edged with ichor ] treasured him: for warmth was truth and the right kind of power.
as he stared rather dumbfounded at the present presented to him from someone whose steps towards redemption were still being given today, he could only exhale a long wisp of air, acknowledging then that he had held his respiration for far too long. a toothy smile was thus tiptoeing upon scarred lineaments, extending a limb to secure the small box upon a calloused palm, using the other to unwrap what was nestled within. to say he was surprised with the content was an understatement ⸻ he was absolutely exhilarated with the small jewelry glowing with the rays cast from above.
❝ oh, what the ⸻ not much?! boy... thank you... damn ❞ golden spheres widened for a sole second, gathering composure after being exposed to such kindhearted gesture. the ring was secured betwixt a thumb and an index finger, raising it to contemplate it from a different angle, right in the direction of the sun. an opulence like no other: it was made from pure adoration, from an affection that nurtured a bond that was still growing and self-fortifying... a relic like no other. and upon deciding that he would try it on one of the fingers, he realized something ⸻ that ring deserved more than to be in the digits of war, it deserved more than to be blemished by blood from those who never deserved to even touch it. it was thus that he decide to use the chain instead and allow the ring to hang from the metal around the neck.
❝ wanna help me? ❞ the query came when he offered the chain with the new pendant, squatting slightly to allow the other better access to his neck. ❝ just wait until i have it around my neck... y' won't escape the brutality of my hug. ❞
