"Ah, no, you misunderstand. While I was in the prison, a woman literally came for my blood. I am not sure of her name, but I have seen her around.

There was a more important part of Remi's observation though: "You know, I don't think I've ever heard you call me handsome before, Remi. Is a latent attraction appearing now you are an honest man?" With a wolfish grin he laughed as if he wasn't just trying to put off telling Remi what the gift was.
He couldn't avoid it forever. He wanted to do this.
"Yes. I would like a ring. The most beautiful you can make, with gold and red stones, if you can. It's...well, perhaps you have inspired me. I wish to ask her to marry me." Almost sheepish after this admission, Bastien rubbed his neck and looked at Remi, waiting to see what he'd say.
