I thought about a diamond - it's the stone my necklace has. But it seems... too impersonal?
[ Rings are already not a terribly common thing - more common the further towards the interior you are. For people like Eren and Mikasa, they were rare. Jean's mother had a ring, but it was plain. Stones are the exception. ]
[ Jean seems to consider this seriously, closing his eyes as he thinks. ]
I think of warmth, but... not the colors you'd associate with that. Not red or yellow. Something soothing and comforting, like a lake on a day without wind. A place you want to stay at forever.
[Erwin puts the phone down and stands up, treating Jean to a view of the cottage ceiling. There's some rustling in the background, and an annoyed meow and murmured apology when Erwin has to move Burnt Rice out of the way, and then Erwin comes back. He props the phone up so the camera is facing him, and he's got a book in his hands.]
[Because of course he has a book about geology and gemstones kicking around. Naturally.]
All right, I'm going to look for blue and green gemstones.
[He starts flipping through the book, and when he finds the page he's looking for, he holds it up so Jean can see it.]
There are emeralds and sapphires, which are beautiful, but it also says here that they're fragile, particularly emeralds. They're not recommended for rings that you wear everyday.

The question of stones, though, has Jean laughing gently to himself. ]
No - no stones for me. I'd be afraid it'd catch on the gear.
[ The ring is already risk enough. ]
I hadn't considered a stone for him. I wasn't sure if that fell under too fancy. Maybe something set in the metal, rather than protruding?

[Erwin Smith, advising restraint and caution? What is this, bizarro world?]
Yes, something set in the metal. A protruding stone would just get in the way.
I believe the traditional stone is a diamond?

It doesn't make me think of Dolph, I guess.

I agree, a diamond doesn't seem to fit.
[It does, however, fit you, pal, so guess what Erwin is going to subtly slip into conversation with Dolph later?]
What color makes you think of him? That might be a good place to start.

Blue, and green.
