[Martel casts Yuan a very shaky smile, before returning her eyes to the slowly swaying ring. Holding out her other hand, she lowers chain and ring both, letting them pile onto her palm with a soft chiming sound. She lets go of the chain's last link, then cups her hands together.]
Could I please take that one instead? I... miss the one I was wearing - though I guess they don't count as different, not really. But this one has more...
[More faded letters, more minuscule scratches, and the spirits knew how many more years of sentimental value.]
...More history. In a good way.
[Martel's smile wavers a bit too much, and the twinkles in her eyes might not all come from humor, but she still laughs as she turns back to Yuan.]
The chain is all yours, of course! You are free to keep it. Though I think we're dragging a bit too many of those already.
