Everything that glitters isn't gold

Briar's gaze reconnected with Artorias' as they spoke about the wonders that were hidden around their world, a grin pulling across her lips when he insisted that they paled in comparison to her. She couldn't keep herself from rolling her eyes at his corny flirting, but her tail still wagged all the same. He was silly and sweet and she loved that about him. Snuggling like this with him in this little hidden treasure trove in the mountains was more perfect than she had even imagined. She loved him more than she could ever possibly say so doing things like bringing him to special places she knew he would love was her way of showing it. Spending time with him was all she ever really wanted so something like this was a win win for them both.

She looked down to the fire opal he was playing with as he mentioned how they should collect some of these to take back with them and she nodded in agreement. "We should! They're beautiful and it's quite a trek to get here so we might as well take advantage of being here." When he mentioned the possibility of her making something from them for him to match her bracelet she smiled and leaned in to kiss his cheek. "You know I'd be happy to," she told him, giving the paw she was holding a gentle squeeze. She didn't know that much about jewelry making, but she had learned a few things from watching Ruga work that she thought she might be able to use. She hadn't thought of giving Artorias something like that to wear before, but if that was something he'd enjoy having then she'd absolutely make it happen for him. She didn't think she'd ever be able to match the beauty of the bracelet she wore, but hopefully she could at least manage something she'd be proud to give him and see him wearing every day.
