A lot of that awkwardness was from Desidera. As things went on, though, she began feeling a bit more comfortable with what she was doing, and started moving on her own with less guidance, going instead by what she felt she needed to do. It was still slower compared to what some of the other couples were doing, even with GV not needing to try to lead as much, but that wasn't important; what was was that they were doing this at all.

At some point throughout all of it, though, the shawl she was wearing somehow managed to slip a bit, not enough to fall off, but enough that it wasn't covering her neck as much as it had been before. If he was paying attention, Gunvolt would see that she'd chosen to wear her necklace underneath it.

With being presented an opportunity to take a (much) closer look at it, if he was paying enough attention, it would look awfully familiar for more reasons than it just being hers: it matched the one that had been made for him before.
