Edelgard
Edelgard received the ring on her palm, and her fingers curled around it like it was a treasure. She'd take good care of it. It wouldn't be like the other spear, she thought. Just in case, she would acquire a chain. She didn't intend on taking it off unless it could help it, but that was more reason to be careful, not less. She couldn't lose this boon connecting her to a benefactor... or to a friend in the darkness, who she didn't dare call by that word yet.
The Forsaken nodded at Sakura and slipped the ring around a finger where it wouldn't fall. There was a faint buzz when she felt the thread of magic connected, like an insect suffocating in smoke.
She focused on the mage, pushing her intent into a message, filtering her cloistered thoughts into an image of the words she wished to say. Edelgard wanted to know about Sakura's liege. If she was to stay by Sakura's side as her spear and bodyguard, then it would be wise to introduce her the sooner the better to the sovereign who would command her by proxy.
