Who has a copy of Plan B to hand?

Edited to Add: The pertinent passage (in I Dare) has been found. Thanks!

I need the description of Korval's Ring -- the *real* Ring. I'm thinking of the scene where Val Con shows it to Miri and asks her to commit it to memory.

What's another word you would use instead of ring. Doing a quick search of 'ring' in Plan B, doesn't give me the passage you want.

Checking I Dare, should have it in a tick...

Damn, but people are *fast* here!

I think that scene is in I Dare

Ack! You're right. Goodness, a lot happens in that book.

Solemnly, Val Con received it, turned and held it out. "Cha'trez, please familiarize yourself with this object."
Blinking, Miri took the Ring, and stood frowning down at it.
Brilliant it might be, but up close, it showed its age. There was a runkle in top of the band, as if somebody had used the edge to strip wire, or maybe to scratch a message into hull plate. And while the intarsia work depicting Korval's Tree-and-Dragon was intact, one of the two emeralds framing the carved Flaran Cha'menthi showed a dark crack at its heart, and the other, whole, held more than a tinge of yellow.
"Emerald's bust, boss," she said, turning the Ring around and peering inside the band for an engraving.
"It has been so for...quite some time," Val Con said.
The inside of the band was smooth; any engraving that might have been there had probably been worn away by generations of Korval fingers.
She gave it one more hard stare, then handed it back to Val Con.
"Got it"

The description of the faux ring is at the beginning of I Dare too, but not what she's after methinks.

Scanner on the fritz so... excuse typing. There was wrunkle on the top of the band, as if someone had used the edge to strip wire, or maybe to scratch a message into hull plate. And while the intarasia work depicting Korval's Tree and Dragon was intact, one of the two emeralds framing the carved QUOTE showed a dark crack at its heart, and the other, whole, held more than a tinge of yellow.

While others have given you the description from Meri's perusal, this tidbit from the copy might also be of value, for fleshing out the intarsia work ...

"He picked the ring up, turning it this way and that, admiring the simple power of the design. Caught in fluid perfection, a bronze dragon hovered, wide-winged, above a tree in full green leaf. Smiling, he set it against the holopic they had given him of the original."
