not-a-log: ring-shopping
Apr. 29th, 2008 10:37 amIanto leaves the Hub mid-morning with errands to run. Most of them are for Torchwood--the Rift positively eats paperclips and marker pens, or the pterodactyl does--but there's also a personal thing he needs to find.
Luckily he knows exactly what he wants and where to find it. There's a shop whose owner knew his father, and once Ianto explains what he's looking for there's a velvet tray in front of him, filled with gleaming silver rings.
He skips over the plain ones: he wants something a bit more ornate. Lorne doesn't want a stone, either, so anything set with diamonds (or even a beautiful piece of amber) is rejected as well. He wants something like the black ring he's wearing, something with a deeper significance.
He finds it in the second tray, among the An Ri and claddaugh rings: a silver ring engraved with manuscript decorations, something masculine enough to look at home on Lorne's hand and beautiful enough to symbolize everything Ianto wants the ring to say.
The ring safely in his pocket, Ianto goes about his other errands with a noticeable bounce in his step.
