A/N: If it wasn't obvious, this chapter is a sequel to "Shiny".

"Here, I got something for you," Qrow said.
Glynda cautiously held out her hand and he dropped a single hairpin into her palm. It was silver-colored, but obviously made of an inferior metal.
She stared at the item suspiciously for a few long moments before asking, "Did you pick this up off of the ground somewhere?"
"Uhh... technically yes," Qrow answered slowly. From the way the corners of his mouth were twitching, she could tell he was trying not to laugh.
"Technically?" she inquired, quirking an eyebrow.
"I mean, it wasn't in that particular form when I picked it up. It used to be a screw."
"That's not what I was expecting when you said you'd find something to use it for."
Glynda knew that metalworking was a hobby of Qrow's, but she'd always assumed that his interest was solely related to the forging and improvement of weapons. So it was a bit surprising to see that it also extended to delicate things like crafting jewelry.
Her fingers closed around the gift as she leaned over to kiss him on the cheek.
"Thank you," she said.
"I take it that means you like it?"
"Yes, idiot."
And she would treasure it forever... not that she would tell him so.
