[ Oh, Andraste's tits. If only she knew how to make this call private... ]
... All right. [ She tries not to look too embarrassed, to look more casual about it all, as she speaks. ] Cullen... was fun to tease, at first, to flirt with and see his reactions, but I never considered it might be... more than that. There was too much else going on, and besides all of that, I wasn't the... type for a relationship. Certainly not with someone so serious and all bogged down by order and procedure.
[ That isn't what Delight's asking for, exactly, but she has to start somewhere. ]
I denied... what I felt for a long time. I didn't want to have to face my own feelings for him on top of everything else. It became hard to ignore, though, and I'm just lucky he seemed to feel the same way. I'm lucky to have him, to work and fight at his side, to get to know him, and then to marry him. I may never have thought it possible, once, but I can't imagine my life another way, now.
[ There's a pause. ]
Cullen is... an incredible person. He has faith. I may not believe in all the same things, but his courage and hope in the face of desperate situations is inspiring. He may not say the same of himself, but he can rally the troops and encourage just about anyone so that they can see their own worth. He came from a tremendously difficult background, but I've always considered him to be the strongest man I've ever known. I... admire him.
[ It's difficult to put into words, as she struggles to find them. What her lover-turned-husband means to her, how he makes her happy... it's nearly impossible to say. ]
He puts everyone before himself. He forgives me and my pig-headedness, even when I don't deserve it. I can only hope I end up half the person that he is, some day.
[She might not be Love, but she can appreciate how happy the emotion makes others feel. Listening to Cecily's journey brings a smile to Delight's face.]
I'm glad you two found one another. I'll give you your ring now- it will be on my altar in my temple.

[ She won't ask for gold; her needs aren't that gaudy. ]
There's one for each person. [ Cecily explains, then raises her left hand, wiggling the ring finger demonstratively. ] You wear it here.

[Sure, she'll make them.]
You want them for gifts, right? I'll give them to you for your feelings for one another. Tell me about how he makes you happy, and I can give you his.
