[Wufei nods, watching in silence as Maglor worked, considering the question carefully.]
No stones, nothing that would make it reflect too much light. Perhaps five openings in the strands instead? Five was my designation during the war. [His bronze cloud is gathering close around him as he concentrates.] Or perhaps two, that was his designation. I... engagement rings are not a tradition in my culture, so I'm afraid I'm not certain what details should inform the design.
[ Maglor hums consideringly ] Five might work better then, since you are offering him a promise from yourself. And truthfully, anything at all! It is entirely up to you. Some folk will go for just a basic band, in truth.
[Wufei nods as he thinks it over for a moment.] A simple braided band with five openings, then. I doubt he would like anything fancier than that, and it shows sufficient thoughtfulness.
[He's not confident in his design decisions, but he knows Duo will appreciate that he put forth the effort. And found a craftsman skilled enough to make it look good. There was no way Wufei would be able to make something worthy with his own hands.] I'm truly grateful for your assistance. [And he bows again, much more deeply this time.]
[His cheeks are tinged pink as he straightens up and offers Maglor a smile.] My apologies, it is a very common way to show respect and gratitude where I come from. If there is ever anything you require assistance with, please let me know. [His cloud has turned a sunny shade of yellow as it hovers around his shoulders.]
[He almost bows again, but manages to stop himself before he completes the gesture.] Then I hope you will forgive me for bowing once more, when you are done with it. Something so precious surely justifies a show of gratitude. If there is nothing I can do to assist in the process, I shall leave you to it. [This time he just nods his head, instead of bowing.

I will get on to it as my top priority. [ He promises ]
