"Well, it is debatable, I believe. After all, I'm attempting to surprise her completely with this proposal." Still, it was more than an amusing thought. It still wasn't the reaction Helena preferred to see on Myka's face upon proposing, but sometimes one just needed to make do. Though she cast an arched brow and bit of a smirk in Claudia's direction at the royal pain comment. "You do so enjoy that role. Where others seem fit to call you Devil Child, I think I will just call you Royal Pain." There was no shortage of amusement in Helena's voice upon that response.
At Claudia's judgement of the ring, Helena looked at her, then back at the ring. This was exactly why she'd asked for Claudia's opinion in the first place because she caught things like that and it would help Helena know if she was trying too hard. "No, not a coincidence. Though hearing it outloud, I should probably not be looking into things so deeply. I probably shouldn't bring any shade of darkness into this, it's supposed to be a happy event, not one bogged down in darkness." So mentally, Helena scratched that ring off the list. She wanted Myka to be reminded of their love when she looked at the ring, not reminded of everything else. Helena sighed softly and turned her eye to the other rings. As much as she wanted to keep things simple, she could not help putting in imagery and metaphors wherever she could. She was a writer, after all.
