Faust had been out on the town all day, and by three in the afternoon, he literally felt like he was either trying to find the lost city of Atlantis or the Holy Grail as he plodded discouraged down the avenue's sidewalk. He had stopped in every jewelry store he passed, and still couldn't find anything, the only signs of productivity he had being a rather lovely watch he had bought himself... With a skeptically raised eyebrow, Faust slipped into the next jeweler's he came across, beginning to peruse the glass cases for his elusive, golden quarry.

"Well hey there Isaaaaaac.." Addler bounced in, he had been simply walking past when he saw his distressed old friend walk in. He grinned, having a hunch for what reason he was there but he did what to really say in case he was wrong. "and what might you be doing, mein Freund?

"Searching, in vain, for something to appease a beast," Faust said bitterly, giving his friend a simple glance in greeting as he slowly moved down the counter, giving each shimmering ring in the case the attention it deserved; too gaudy, too little, too complex. Why couldn't he seem to find exactly what would fit Astra's slender, beautiful finger...? "I would invite you to search in vain with me, but I fear you wouldn't understand my plight."

Addler laughed at his use of 'beast', he waved off a sales woman. "Ich dachte, das passieren würde ........." (I thought this was going to happen) He mattered with little dread. "well it is true I don't really have experience in this shit....but why not get her something simple?"

Faust bristled. "How dare you assume that I'm proposing to Astra? The idea is preposterous and mediocre at best, you should be ashamed to jump to such brash conclusions!" He then set his glare back to the ring selection, then blinked, pointing to one distractedly. "I wonder, would that one match her eye colour...? I wonder what her birth gem is..."

Addler chuckled at his behavior, "well I don't know if she'll really care for all that." he shrugged. "wasn't she born on a different planet? does she even have a birthstone?" He gave him a side glance then noticed something out of the corner of his eye. "OOOO, You should get her platinum." his eyes seemed to sparkle as he looked at the ring.

"Platinum?" Faust slid over to ogle at the ring beside his friend, getting so close to the glass that his nose almost touched the surface of the case. "What if it lacks luster? What if it just looks silver? She'll never speak to me ever again." He then frowned slightly. "But I do enjoy the colour of the platinum...what gem would look pretty? Red?"

Addler grinned broadly, "oh ya, mein Bruder" then he shrugged. "If she really is that flaky about a ring......is she really worth that?" He couldn't help but laugh at the thought of Mercury slapping Faust because she thought it is silver. Faust can be so childish sometimes, Addler thought.

Still looking down at the ring, Faust bristled, his eyebrow twitching in irritation. "It's not my fault, Addler, I've never exactly made it this far with a woman. Usually they give up on me before the third date, let alone the engagement." He let out a sigh. "God, women are so difficult..."

Addler put up his hands and shrugged with a grin. "well no woman but Her can put up with you." He turns his back to the counter and leans on it. "They must have some patients up in....Venus was it? well whatever.." Addler sighed.

"Which is why she deserves the best of the best...of the best," Faust groaned, letting his head drop to the glass with a thud. Miserably, he looked at the rings, allowing his eyes to follow the line of the display until he reached the end...and he paused. "Hey..." He lifted his head, placing his black nailed finger over a ring. "What about that one, ah?" (( Looks loosely like this 3.bp.blogspot.com/-vI4eBQIrv-8/TqJp6CKPFHI/AAAAAAAAB90/m4Y2lJlpPbQ/s1600/rgz10303.jpg only a bit smaller/less gaudy and blingy xD ))

Addler flipped around. "well not too swanky, looks perfect" he said with a whistle. "I think she'll like it a lot, man." he smiled, looking at it closely. "not too much and not too little..." he whistled again.

"... You just used the word 'swanky'. I think I'll kill you later." Faust grinned slightly at him, then alerted the store owner, bringing her over to the ring in question and getting her to take the item from the display case; the man took it carefully in his fingers, peering at it closely as he fought not to grin from simply imagining the look on Astra's face when it was presented. "I'll take it, why the hell not?"

Addler patted him roughly on the back, "well done man, now just for the yes." Addler nudged him. "you think she'll say yes?" Addler loved messing with him. "I wounder what our favorite girl is doing right now" Addler smiled.

As Faust was making the necessary paying arrangements, he was only half-listening, but Addler's words made him jump nearly out of his skin. He threw a look to him, his jaw hanging open in fear. "By God...you're right, what if she doesn't even say yes?" He slumped forward on the counter, once more hitting his head on the glass display case. "Oh, I'm such a wretch!"

Addler patted him on the back. "don't worry, buddy, old pal. She'll say yes, any woman in this damn shop would if you asked them" Addler grinned again.

Once the ring was effectively paid for, Faust straightened from the counter, slipping the small, velvet box into his pocket. "I doubt that," he muttered, holding the door open for Addler and casting a glance to where the shopkeeper was avidly attempting to get forehead prints off of the glass. "Er, say, Add...you don't happen to remember how your father proposed, ah?"

Addler walked out. "huh...well I believe it was on a boat...or something. I think roses were involved maybe.....then again mother was quite the romantic. It was a small row boat I think" He pondered. "not really sure man" He walked a little down the side walk.

Faust walked alongside him and frowned as he considered the options. "Hmm... It has to be something dramatic, yet romantic; something completely unforgettable." He glanced up and watched the sky as the two walked; he couldn't remember the last time he'd thought so hard about something concerning someone else.

Addler slapped him on the back. "awe look, our little Faust is growing up, well where was your first date?" he asked with a little curiosity. "that might help.....I guess. I'm not really good with this stuff." He shrugged again.
