[Felix blinks. He's not sure why he didn't expect this one to have an inscription. Maybe because he had to have it suggested to him in the first place. He squints a little, reading the tiny text. And then he reads it again. And then he reads it again, and notices the handwriting this time. After almost twenty years, Sylvain has given the promise physical form. Felix would read it a fourth time if he could still see it properly, but it's blurry now. Oh, no. No. This is bad. And it gets worse when Sylvain puts the ring on his finger, as if his eyes decided to disobey him on purpose.
Quick, do something to distract him so he can't see this crying nonsense.
He blinks rapidly, but for all his embarrassment, he doesn't want to rush this. So he doesn't hurry when he carefully takes the other ring out of its box and holds it up similarly so Sylvain can read what's inscribed around the inside--in Felix's own best penmanship, too.
For Sylvain Fraldarius
He'd wanted to add more, but his family name is too damn long. So...he hopes this will be enough for Sylvain to understand. This makes him more nervous than anything else--the idea that Sylvain might not like these words. That Felix might have jumped the gun. But once that's done, Felix returns the gesture, awkwardly but gently grabbing Sylvain's hand and sliding the ring onto his finger.]
