Ouroboros Spine Worth more than Gold

It’s the perfect gift, Rodyn, Samani assured him.

The sea girl would treasure the item until it had turned to fray and could not cling to her the way that it did in that moment. She would make sure that she kept his present for as long as she could, until she could no longer remember the warmth that he had created in the pit of her stomach, or the swiftness of her heart as he had helped to secure the bracelet.

Tell me of your other gifts, she spoke quickly, eager to see what skills he could show her. I am sure that you have a talent for it. I hope you might be able to teach me so that I can make you something, too.

Though it wasn’t necessary, Samani wanted to share something with the tradesman. She wanted to have worked and slaved away until she had the perfect gift, which she would present to him. Thoughts of her future sprouted in her mind. She didn’t know where all of this might go, but she knew that she didn’t want to experience anything more than the company of the man in front of her.
