"Then I'll put the tree I uprooted to give to you back where it belongs, Prince Jimin." Yoongi was amused more than anything, turning his full attention to Jin so he could offer the gift and, yes, he was very relieved that it wasn't anything from the garden. Not that the rocks had just been randomly picked off the ground, but he understood how it came across.
Jin took the box curiously, not sure what to expect and so he opened it carefully, looking at the earrings. They were beautiful. It was strange to think of the Namjoon he had gotten to know a little ever picking out something like that and maybe it hadn't been him, but still. "Orange blossom." That made sense, he supposed. Did Namjoon know that? He smiled a little. "Please thank him from me. They are beautiful."
Jimin peered over cautiously and caught a glint of some shiny. Oh. Pretty. Jimin got up and set his kitty down, venturing in close and peering around Jin's side to look at the gift, face resting against Jin's arm. He loved his brother, he wanted him to have nice things, he just wished they didn't come from such a brute. "Pretty." Well, it was. Nicest thing he'd seen Jin get in forever.
"Better than rocks. Or a tree." Just saying. He looked at Yoongi curiously, his lower lip sticking out in such a petulant little way. "Gifts should be pretty, not dirty."
"You don't think trees are pretty? Perhaps not a good gift. I don't have much experience giving gifts. Or getting them. The most special gift I ever got was a snake." He had honoured that, at least.
"Snakes are scary." Jin had been too close to them entirely too often. He handed the box to Jimin and indicated his ears. "Can you help me?" They were a gift from Namjoon, he should wear them for their wedding. Not as if he could randomly hold some rocks after all.
"Snakes? Oh! What kind? I had a pet snake but he died not long ago. I wanted to get another but -- but it wasn't possible." Ten was a snake breeder, he always had the coolest varieties and he promised to get him a new one. Then Cheon had come. He helped Jin with his earrings, focusing on that and trying not to think about Ten. He broke his heart every day.
"I got a kitty instead. He's cuter." And rarer and he didn't remind him of what happened one kingdom over that could happen to Jin any day now.
"I'm not sure. He's called Udon. I can show you some time." Because, yes, he travelled with his snake. Yoongi hadn't exactly expected such an enthusiastic response, so he wasn't sure what else to say. "Your kitten is very cute."
Admittedly. He looked at Jin with those earrings on him and saw the look in Jimin's eyes as well and it was painful. He supposed he understood what tormented Namjoon so much. Yoongi went down on one knee again. "My prince is the best man I know. The most noble. That's why I swore myself to him. I will swear my life to you as well, Prince Jin."
"...thank you." It was strange, hearing someone say those words while wearing the necklace which meaning he knew by now. He didn't understand it all entirely, but he did see that Yoongi's had more on it than even Namjoon's. His weapons weren't just for decoration. "Please thank Namjoon too. Tell him I-- I look forward to being his husband."
Jin tried to say it and sound like he meant it, but judging by the look on Yoongi's face, he didn't succeed.
Jimin leaned into his brother and held him, thinking of snakes, of Ten and what was happening around them, it really reminded him why they were here and doing this. He nuzzled Jin and waited to be hugged back, fear obvious in both of them. "Thank you for coming to my brother and pledging your services. We appreciate it."
Yoongi tried and he didn't seem as bad as the others. Besides, he had a snake called Udon. That was adorable. Ten always liked to name his snakes after kinds of noodles.
"Make sure that Namjoon stays a good guy, please. We need protection, not more pain."
Yoongi wanted to assure them that Namjoon didn't hurt people, but he couldn't do that, so he just nodded his head and then turned, walking out without another word. Jin watched him leave, then wrapped both arms around Jimin and hugged him close, easily guessing that they were thinking the same thoughts.
He didn't want to do this, but he knew why he was doing it. It would be worth it. "There is bad men among every people. It means there must be good men too." Like Yoongi, he didn't seem too bad. Aside from all the killing he had done, but he supposed for a warrior that was good. "I hope Namjoon is a good man. Now, tell me how I look. Ready to be wed?"
"You look ready to be wed. Please, hyung, be safe. I need you. I love you so much."
He held Jin and cuddled close, leaning up to kiss him lightly on the cheek before he took his hand. He supposed one of them had to be brave and it was definitely Jin. Jimin just wished that he could take his place. "Let's do it, brother. How bad can it be? As long as he doesn't spit again, could be fun." Maybe. Probably not.
