“…that makes sense.” Ky nodded slowly. “But how can we incorporate all that into a heart box?”

"May I?" Sven asked. Sera dipped her head. "Thank you. If you're looking for something that appreciates small things, perhaps a simpler design might be better. A border of candles and birds and whatnot along the edges of the box lid and sides, and perhaps a creek following along the sides within the borders? The borders would then frame a scene quite nicely."

Ky nodded thoughtfully, considering it, and glanced over to Sera to gauge her reaction.

Sera seemed pleased, but she looked over to Ky. "How does that sound?"

“You know him better than I do,” she pointed out. “…but that… sounds nice?” She was having trouble envisioning it, but every single box before her now was absolutely beautiful so she trusted Sven would be able to pull through on this idea too if he said he could.

God. A decision. And one that affected her father this time. She took a moment to think about it. But Sven had the idea. Sera seemed to think it was a good one. That was enough for Ky. She’d risk it and hope he liked it. “Yes. Please. That sounds good.”

"Right, then!" He grinned and clapped his hands. "We've got a design--I'll sketch it out for you later on. What wood and shape are you thinking? And do you want it stained?"

“I like this one.” Ky pointed to the darker wood she’d been admiring earlier. “And… um… a stain would be good, yes?” She didn’t know.

"Staining would deepen the color," he said. "Maple's a lighter wood naturally, so this one you see here is stained."

“…oh.” She looked between the boxes, still having a hard time envisioning it. “…what do you think would look best for something like this?”

"I think something like this would do well on a slightly lighter stain than this." He patted the box. "Or, we could take it to an extremely dark wood."

“…but you wouldn’t be able to see the design if it’s too dark, would you?”
