A day passes after the "defeat" of the Skeleton Queen. Seamus and Gwenyth have finished setting up the jewelry display for his shop. Rings, necklaces, bracelets, rubies, sapphires, emeralds, diamonds, and other gems are in boxes of glass for display purposes. Molded hands are adorned with sample rings.

The only difference is that a sparkling diamond ring is on the right hand of the merrow. And the red cap is missing from her head.

"It looks so beautiful on ya, my dear," before kissing the healed side of her face. She turns his face to lock lips with him.

"Aye. I love ya, Seamus. Don't forget dat ya have to keep hiding my cap from me."

He curls the ends of her red hair. "I understand, me merrow wife."

"So where is it?" she squints at him.

"Can't tell ya," he winks. She smiles that he's going to make it fun for her. If she finds it, she will have to return to the waters because of her nature. She doesn't want to leave though. 

"So where can it be den?"

"Have ya tried under me clothes?" he waggles his eyebrows. She unbuttons the top buttons of his shirt.

"Don't tempt me," she traces his exposed neck with her gloves. The bell of the door interrupts them. She quickly spins around to hide her blushing face. Three pairs of footsteps entered the shop.

"Nice to see ya again! What was ya name?"

"William Bennett. It's nice to meet you again, Seamus."

Gwenyth's heart skips a beat while spinning around. The blind bard's face makes her smile that he survived. She also sees an orc warrior and a caramel woman leading the bard by the arm. Tears crawl down her face.

"What's wrong, me lass?" Seamus wipes her tears.

"He came back from the Skeleton Queen," she explains.

He understands the implications and shakes the bard's hand. "It's great to see that ya made it! Oh, where's dat knight dat was with ya?"

Will explains a short summary of what happened. The Irish couple are alarmed by the news.

"Dat rotten, no good bastard!" Gwen explodes with anger.

Seamus rubs her back multiple times. "I'm sorry for what his people did to ya, Melina."

"Appreciated. I'm glad my fiancé is helping me out," her magenta eyes sparkle. Seamus and Gwen are almost entranced by those eyes. The merrow senses something magical about her that she can't explain.

"That's why I'm here to ring shop before I head back to Engla."

The merrow jumps with joy that he found love. "Congratulations! My husband is ready ta help with what ya need."

"You got married? Congrats on that!"

"It happened after the time you left. Also, my red cap is currently in hiding. He's not telling me anything," she whispers.

"A merrow, right?" Melina correctly states based on what Will had told her.

"Yep!"

"I'm da luckiest lad in da world!", Seamus lifts and spins her around to her laughter. Bumva and the others can't help but smile.

He puts her down to refocus. "What kind of ring are ya lookin' for?"

"Anything Mel wants and I would like a ring also for Bumva behind me," William confidently says. 

The warrior smiles with glee from the future she will have with him. 

Seamus doesn't skip a beat. "Sure. I will answer any question ya have. Re-sizes as well."

William lets go of Melody so she can look over the collection. Bumva also walks up to see what she liked. She tries on a few rings, but none of them will fit her finger, no matter how large they are.

"I'm sorry, Will," she looks down in shame. He feels for her hand and kisses it. Her heart races in a good way.

"Pick a necklace or a bracelet, my love."

"Can I try this one?" she points to a necklace with a sapphire middle stone. Gwen secures the clasp to the orc who crouched down. She shows her to a mirror. She happily gasps from how well it looks.

"We will take that one, please," Will says from hearing her reaction. "Is there a ring to match that one?"

"Certainly, sir. May I have ya hand?"

The bard extends his right hand and feels the ring slipping on his finger. The ring almost dangles around his finger.

"Bumva, how does it look?"

She places her hands on his cheeks for her answer. He goofily smiles from her touch.

"Enough said. Just needs a resizing," Gwen smiles. He places the ring back on the counter as Seamus takes his measurements.

"Let me give you my address so you can send it there," Bumva informs them. After writing her address, she goes to pay, but the jingle makes Will stop her.

"I'm paying for both of my loves". She plants a wet kiss on his cheek for his action. He opens his purse and she takes out the amount needed to pay.

"Can it be inscribed with "From my lovely bard"?"

"Sure can," Seamus answers.

"Can I also get something inscribed on the ring?" Will asks.

"Sure. What would ya like engraved on it?"

"Mineral spring."

Bumva's mind almost breaks as it goes directly to what happened after the springs. She wraps her arms around him from behind to steady her heart. Gwen grins from his effect on her.

"Seamus, can I try that diamond ring?" Melody points at a medium sized ring. He gets it out and she tries it on. She admires the brilliant refraction of rainbow light from the daylight dancing on it. 

"I will take this ring. It fits well. Can I have it engraved with the symbol of a mandolin?"

"Certainly," while Seamus takes it off to the side.

"And I would like mine to have it engraved with "kiss of a ruby port," William adds on. Melody smirks from the meaning of it. She takes some money from his purse to pay for it.

Will then pours out the rest of his purse on the counter.

"S-Sir, ya overpaid," Seamus points out with widened eyes.

"Consider this a wedding gift of mine. You both deserve to be happy."

"Thank ya, Will!" Gwen appreciates with a quick embrace before sliding the coins over into a drawer.

"Alright, I'll be right back with the ladies' items. Might take an hour or two," Seamus informs.

"Take your time."

"Seamus will make it happen!" the merrow proudly boasts of her husband.

The trio head off to lunch with the other soldiers accompanying them. The soldiers can't help but stare at "Melina's" eyes. They think that Will is the luckiest man in all of Engla. The trio comes back after the second hour.

Mel tenderly touches the engraved mandolin on her ring. "It's perfect, mi esposo."

He walks over and finds the ring with his fingers. He wishes he can see her smile, but her voice is good enough. He cups her face with his hands and kisses her forehead. She pulls his head down to press her forehead against his.

"Ow!" he winces with a laugh. He holds her in place to make the pain subside. Her magenta eyes sparkle while gazing at her fiancé. He closes the distance between their lips. She drapes her arms behind his neck as she kisses him back.

"It will take 1-2 weeks to be resized for you, Will," Seamus tells him.

But the bard's mouth is occupied for a bit before breaking it. "I don't mind the wait. I'm blessed to have these two in my life."

Both of the women kiss him on the cheek from what he said. His feet almost stumble from their actions.

"That necklace looks great on you, Bumva," Melody compliments.

"Thank you! That diamond is big!"

"I intend to show it off to everyone, even before our wedding", while latching onto Will's left arm lovingly. Bumva holds onto his right arm in the same manner.

"Before I go, I wish you both the best of life!" William exclaims.

"Same to ya!" Seamus calls out to them. Gwen and him see Bumva and Mel happily walk out with William between them. The trio go back to the commander's ship and head to Engla with their new lives awaiting them.
