Wings of fire: Dragons' dream

26- rings and talons

Red and Winter were hanging out, Silver and Fullmoon seemed to be getting along, so they went back to the tent to talk. Winter suddenly said, "So, Red, how's your love life?" Red shrugged and said, "It could be worse, Koi is always flirting with me, but I'm pretty sure he's just doing it to mess with me." Winter nodded and replied, "Yeah, he seems like the type to flirt with anyone, I heard him flirting with the ticket taker earlier."

Red smiled and said, "Yeah, how are you and Silver?" Winter thought for a second and said, "He's perfect... But i... I've been wanting to ask him the big question, you know, marriage." Red gasped in delight and said, "Really! I've always thought you two would get married, if you want I can help."

Winter was a soft blue, clearly embarrassed as he nodded and said, "Yeah... I'm just nervous, what if Silver thinks it's to soon?" Red looked at Winter and said, "You have dated for three years, he's ready." Winter still seemed concerned but said, "Ok, well, I want to have a ring for when I propose, can you help me find the perfect one?" Red nodded and motioned for Winter to follow him.

Red and Winter quickly weaved their way through the markets until they were met by a large stand ran by a nice Icewing Red knew, "Hey Froststorm, long time no see." Red said as they approached the stand, "Oh, Red, can't say I'm surprised your back, you could hardly keep your eyes off me last time." Froststorm said in a joking manner.

Froststorm suddenly realized Winter was there and said, "Oh, is this tall ice sculpture yours or is he still free from any chains?" Red smiled and said, "He's not my boyfriend, but he is dating someone, my best friend Silver." Froststorm looked at Winter with interest and then looked at Red and said, "Well, I certainly remember him, you were pouring your heart out to me about how much you missed your friends, especially Silver!"

Red turned bright red and said, "I told you that in private." Froststorm laughed a bit and said, "Don't worry, I won't tell anyone, just like how I never told anyone that I rejected you." Red turned brighter red and said, "That's not what happened and you know it!" Froststorm smirked and said, "Well, you came to my bar nearly everyday when I worked in the icewing kingdom, I could've sworn you liked me."

Red was bright red and said, "I went there because I didn't know anyone or any other place!" Froststorm smiled and said, "I know, I just love messing with you." Red rolled his eyes and said, "Well, my friend, Winter, needs a set of rings for his proposal." Froststorm smirked and said, "Well I have the perfect thing!" She quickly pulled out two small boxes covered in leather.
