Luna opened the silver box slowly, her mouth dropping open.
"They're... they're beautiful," she whispered staring at the pair of earrings nestled in the white tissue paper. Daphne smiled.
"I thought you might like them. The vendor said they were made from the bone of something. I don't remember what he called the creature, but I knew you had mentioned it before. I also know you like earrings, and since you lost your radish ones... you might need a new pair?" Luna gently took the earrings out and put them in her earlobes. Daphne smiled watching her.
"I told you that you didn't have to get me anything."
"I know, but they were made for you, Luna. You look beautiful!"
"Thank you," Luna whispered. "And the bone is from a tufted gnarwhal. They're an aquatic creature similar to a whale, but much smaller. They have a tuft of orange hair surrounding their tail," she added causing Daphne to laugh.
"I knew you would know what it was from. Are they endangered? Should I not have bought them?"
"No, they're fairly common and often beach themselves on the shores of Madagascar. The muggles think they are just regular whales as only those with magic and see the hair tuft." Daphne sighed in relief. She had a hard time keeping track of every creature Luna had ever mentioned.
"Good, for a moment there I was afraid I'd done something wrong." Luna leaned over and touched her forehead to Daphne's.
"Trust me, Daph, nothing you do could ever be wrong, not to me." Daphne smiled brushing Luna's hair away from her face.
"You promise?" Luna laughed.
"Of course, silly!" Daphne nodded slightly.
"Then, I have something to tell you, Luna." Daphne led Luna to the window seat and sat down with her. "I've been offered a position."
"That's great!"
"It is... only it's not in London." Luna blinked.
"Where?"
"The Madagascar office, of Treasures Inc. They want me to be a full time curse breaker with them. It's a huge promotion, if I take it."
"You have to! You would be amazing, that would be... it's your dream," Luna stated looking at Daphne. She nodded slowly.
"I know, but you've got your work here, and... Luna, I want you come with me, to Madagascar, as my wife!" Daphne blurted out. She quickly looked down at the floor., blinking back tears. Luna stared at her for a moment stunned. Slowly she tilted Daphne's head back up so their eyes met. Luna smiled at her and gently wiped the tears away.
"Nothing would make me happier. I can work from anywhere, besides, with Madagascar having such a unique climate, just think of all the creatures waiting to be discovered!"
"You mean it? I mean, it's not too sudden? I should have bought a ring, and I..." Luna touched her forehead to Daphne's.
"I told you, nothing you do could be wrong. This proposal is one of those things. I'd rather you blurt it out here in our living room than some elaborate spectacle of a thing. I love you Daphne."
"I love you too, Luna and I can't wait for you to see Madagascar, it's more beautiful than anything you can image."
