Edmund blinked, clearly caught off guard. [Am I messing this up again?]
"I … didn't know the process," he admitted, scratching the back of his neck. "I thought giving you the gem first would be more meaningful."
[How could I be this clueless? Giving her something like this probably makes me look more like a beast than a man.]
[And my wife probably thinks the same.]
Yes, giving someone an unpolished, uncut gemstone was unusual, definitely not something most humans would consider romantic.
It was a bit barbaric.
But that didn't mean Primrose didn't like it.
Actually, She did.
"And ... I wasn't sure what your ring size is," Edmund added, his voice a little lower, like he was embarrassed to admit it.
Beast bodies were generally larger than human bodies, so if Edmund wasn't sure about Primrose's ring size, the jewelers in Noctvaris might have used the standard size for beast women, which would be too big for her.
