He stared at her, and the ring, showing a look of awe and surprise. He didn't know entirely how to react. Could she really be giving this to him? He never felt such an honor, and yet such passion she was showing him. "I... Don't know entirely what to say," he studdered.<br/><br/>His face flushed brightly as she grabbed his hand and placed it on her heart. He felt her heart beating fast, fluttering faster and echoing in his eardrums. He felt the intense feelings she had, and he had a hard time believing it at first. The lovely Lady Ravenwood, trusting her prized possession to him, a Lone from a long forgotten bloodline,  as a token of her affection? It seemed unreal to him. But the look she gave, the sorrow she felt exposed how genuine, and real this feeling was. It suddenly all became clear.<br/><br/>He looked at the ring again, then back at her pleading eyes. His first instinct was to take her in his arms, to show he understood completely. Respectfully, He bowed to her, kissing her hand gently. "Lady Ravenwood, saying this is a great honor is an understatement. I swear with my life I will protect this ring," he looked at her in the eyes again, "and your heart."
