Automatically, Dimitri leans into that soft touch, and hums. "I offered it back, but he seems content with it in my care. I will have to make sure it is used properly." Sure, he could just hold onto it forever, maybe have something to display it in, but... Things are meant to be used, ultimately. An earring should hang on a person properly. He doesn't want Dedue to think anything less than that.

But still - Dimitri tries to pull his mind away from such memories and looks up at Grant. "At any rate, I would like to get you something proper and that you would like before I make the attempt, and I was not sure on your culture! If it is jewelry, then I will be sure to get you a fine piece!" A sigh. "And perhaps that is better, for a dagger is of little help here..."

Yes, he's talking about weaponry now.
