[Connor leads the SQUIP out of its house, shutting the door carefully behind them, and keeps hold of its hand as they walk to his cottage. He opens the front door, then beckons the SQUIP inside. Sumo gives a tired "borf" in greeting, and Connor smiles at him before leading the SQUIP to his bedroom.
There's a shelf near his bed with nothing but an engraved box on it and a few shells, and after looking at the SQUIP's hand and determining the size of its fingers he opens the box and rummages. The SQUIP will probably catch the glimmer of many rings and a few necklaces stored away in there; it's his little hoard of shiny things, items he admires when he has nothing else to do. Another Merrow trait.
He picks out a ring and offers it up, a gold band with small sapphires embedded into it. It hurts a little to part with it, because the only items in that box are ones that he liked enough to buy (or steal, before he had a Bond). But he thinks this means more than if he took the SQUIP out to buy one.]
If you'll take it... you'll always have something from me with you.
[And it should hopefully serve as a reminder to the SQUIP that it's appreciated by someone.]
