idk keep them i guess??

[... Heey, wait]

hey could you take a closer pic of them

They do seem pretty expensive...

[It'd be a waste to just throw them out, in other words]

Huh? Sure, hold on- [A few moments later, a much closer pic of them is sent to him]

[There's a small pause, and then:]

ah

i know those constellations

You? Knowing the constellations? That's shocking.

What are they?

theyre Lyra and Aquila

the stars the gems are in are called Vega and Altair

theres a japanese celebration called the tanabata - the star festival

Vega and Altair represent two star-crossed lovers that they celebrate on july 7

that days the only day the lovers can meet every year so they hope for a clear day when they celebrate

[One day a year? Wow that's extreme. But honestly, so are most constellation legends. Allen remembered that much about them.]

...Yeah. That sounds like something Ino would find romantic.

[Star-crossed lovers who suffer to see one another. Seems right up her alley. ]

idk i just liked the fact that it was a star festival myself

LA has a festival for it 2

we celebrate it in august tho

tehres music and food and these decoration things called kazari

its pretty fun!

Huh, really? I've never been to a star festival myself.

[Though going out with Clay was quite a star party]

If the celebrations you know are in August, at least that's close to our anniversary...

hey yeah thats true!! maybe that swhy she went with that legend

so uh

what do U want to do with them??

Well...

I definitely don't think this is the time for marriage or proposing.

[Not when they've only been together a year. Not when they couldn't decide whose ship to live on. Not when they had Atroma looming over their shoulder, ready to remove one or both of them at a moment's notice.

The idea of marriage wasn't as preposterous as it used to be. But it was still a long way out there.]

But on the other hand, it seems wrong to just shove them in my closet or out an airlock.

yeah no def not

[They absolutely weren't ready for any kind of marriage, especially since Atroma could make one or the other go home any time.]

she left them for you so its your choice but

i say keep them

if anything it s a way to say were ~star-crossed lovers~ ;D

Well, you did say on our first date the stars were aligned for us...

[Sure, "Star-Crossed" sometimes meant doomed, but that didn't always have to be the case, right? And as for it being his choice? Well...

There's a pause. ]

Ino's the reason we ever found each other. So maybe we can wear them as a promise.

[And during that pause, Clay writes,] turns out im pretty good at reading stars huh ～(^з^)-☆

[And after it...]

like promise rings?

havent heard that in a long time

we can do that!!

Best in the fleet, easy.

[NOBODY SMARTER AT SPACE THAN HIS ASTRONAUT NOPE]

Yeah, like those! I mean, I'm very sure our relationship is serious enough to qualify for those.

im sure of that too :D

so you can take 1 an di take the other! want to do it now or later

Well I'd never turn down a chance to see you.

STELLAR

then i'll be there ina few mins

(ɔˆ ³(ˆ⌣ˆc)

[He laughs at the emoji, it's cute]

See you soon. (ɔˆ ³(ˆ⌣ˆc)

[And after about ten minutes, the Blue Fish will get a Vanquish shuttle in their hanger! Clay takes the time to land, then steps out, already looking for Allen - Ah, there he is, waiting for him. Clay grins, gives a wave, and hurries on over to him.]

Hey you!

Hey yourself.

[The box is sitting on his lap. As Clay comes over, he'll reach up his arms in an attempt to give Clay a hug. ]

[And Clay returns that hug, getting to the side of the wheelchair and bending down to do so. After a long moment's embrace, Clay leans back enough to give Allen a quick kiss on the lips as another hello, then looks down at the box in his lap.]

So that's them?

Yeah, that's them.

[He'll lift the box from his lap and open the lid. Sure enough, it's just like the photo showed, except they probably look even nicer now that they aren't on a photo shot by a communicator]

There's chains with them, so you can wear them as a ring or a necklace.

Wow... [He kneels down, both to get a better look at the rings and to be more eye-level with Allen] They look really nice. Did she buy them, or make them herself?

I don't know, the note didn't say. I had no idea she even had these to begin with.

Huh...

[He crosses his arms and puts them on the arm of the wheelchair, then rests his chin on them while looking down at the rings]

I like them. They make good promise rings. [He can't help the blush that comes up, feeling a little flustered now. Now that he's right here with Allen and with the rings, it feels a lot more real than just texting about it.] So, uh... Ha. Wow. We're really doing this. [He sounds more awed and shy than anything]
