A small pout of disappointment moved across his face. Not because of her reaction, nor was it because she said she liked it or questioned its size. Simply because, as far as he was concerned, she had put it on the wrong finger but he mentally shrugged. Now was not the time to bring up something like that. Instead he needed to joy her company and have some fun. They can always talk about it some other time. But her excitement was more than what he could ask for. 

His arms tightened around her as she leaned across the table and gave her back a gentle rub. A smile moved across his face as he settled back into his seat and watched her gush a bit over the ring. People around them gave ‘awes’ and ‘aws’ seeing the exchange by the two young ones but… well let’s face it, he didn’t care. He wasn’t doing this for show, he wasn’t doing this because he felt he had to, and this wasn’t happening without some form of meaning behind it.

Her response of giving him and his family gifts made him chuckle. “I’m flattered, and I’m sure my family will be too. Mom was super excited to hear you were coming back into town and Dad says he misses your laugh in the house. Atsuma grunted and Kenton grinned; so I’m assuming both of those are good signs.” Rayne grinned rightly as their food arrived and be begun to dig into his food.

“What classes do you have?” He asked between some bites.
