no subject
Sometime before the present day, Dima reveals to the children his wish to give the third ring to Faolan.
The children have some misgivings about it at first; Rose demands imperiously to SEE the ring before she'll agree. Upon inspection she frowns, then decides, no, she doesn't think it was anything of importance. Thorn seems to be simply agreeing with her, and doesn't seem to really care all that much about the ring; he asks if Fae has fixed Hildabear, though. (This is in fact a project Faolan has been working on, carefully attempting to salvage piece of the original toy for use in a new one, but he has no materials for the body right now.)
Dima immediately presented the ring for examination, of course. And tells Thorn about Fae's work with Hildabear, indicating that Fae wants very much to find the right fur for Hildabear, and to make sure Hildabear is given the very best mending. He also tells Thorn that Faolan is very very gentle handling Hildabear, and makes sure she's never pinched or pulled while Fae is working.
Dima points out that Rose will have her own ring just as soon as she's returned, and promises to take her to pick out another ring all of her liking. Thorn and Hildabear may, of course, join to pick out their own.
Dima adds that he's certain Fae will find meaning in this particular ring, and the connection it promises to all of them.
...And Dima will also inform Thorn that Rin has taken to stealing Hildabear from time to time in order to tell her stories, then slip her right back where she came from with a little pat, no troubles had!
The children seem quite taken with all of this; Rose looks surprised to learn she might be able to pick her own jewelry, but also appears to be suppressing excitement about the prospect of the third ring's use.
Thorn will, at a later time, pester Rin to hear the stories they've told Hildabear.
At the end of the conversation, the children both intimate that they want to know what Faolan says.
(After all, he might be joining their family!)
Dima assures them that he'll tell them all about it, and thanks them both for their approval.
Dima is, through all of this, doing a very good job of noT having a cry of his own. But damned if it isn't close.
