[Slips something over his head — a dolphin ring of some pale, silvery alloy, suspended on a plain leather thong. While not exact, its a close replica of one just visible in the jewellery window behind Shiki and Feathers in one of the heart photos.]

Link should keep this, too.

[looooong pause as he takes the ring in his hand, turning it around slowly.] Was this for her?

Re: [Eventually]

[Shakes her head.]

For him.

But I think . . . it's really Link, who should have something to remember how much Delphinus is in her heart.

[smiles slightly, though it twists and doesn't hold]

No, I don't doubt it.

Re: [Eventually]

Will you keep it?

. . . even if it's just . . . 'for now'?

Re: [Eventually]

[boundbydevotion]

[nods, tucking it into his shirt] I'll hold on to it.

[Catches his hand once he's done, just . . . squeezing for a moment.]

Thank you.

Re: [Eventually]

[boundbydevotion]

Mm.

[It's clear just from touching him that he's reigning in his reactions tightly, though he doesn't feel quite tense.]

If you like . . . why don't you let us handle supper, tonight? So if there's anyone you want to visit, today . . . you won't have to come home soon.

Ah--I'm not sure if I should let Zero be--I wouldn't know what to do with myself otherwise in any case.

It can just be a backup plan, until you see how the day goes. Even if Pavo brings home extra . . . everyone can just have a bit more for breakfast tomorrow, if it's not something you need.

Re: [Eventually]

[boundbydevotion]

[nods] All right. Thank you for doing this, then. I'll keep it in mind.

[Nods.]

And if you'd just like to cook a lot . . . you're welcome to what we have for that, too. For as long as you'd like.
