[This is dumb. You're dumb, Ain tells himself, as he holds the velvet box in his hands and runs a claw over the surface. This is so stupid.

Being stupid never stopped him before, though, so Ain opens the box up and pulls the necklace out, unclasps it, and shuffles so that he's reaching out to enclasp it around Vash's neck. It's a brief gesture, and Vash will probably feel the heavy pendant clacking against his collarbone long before Ain pulls away.]

...I got you a gift, with some of the money I made today. It's why I was out so long. I wanted to make sure I could do something nice for you.

[His "decorating" thing. But worse, now.]
