Apologies for the delay. There were... ever the obstacles to overcome.

We would be delighted by your presence. All are welcomed.

Comments

[garudas]

[Correct.]

Really? Even after that punch I'd laid on you when you returned?

[Not for that reason, but she'd certainly said some things about it after the fact. It might as well have been.]

[gruffier]

Perhaps I should have asked for another.

[garudas]

I would have happily obliged.

I do hope you made the proposal worth all that time.

[gruffier]

Maybe not as good as Cid's, but I intend to make up for any wrongdoings moving forward.

[garudas]

Did Cidolfus tell you what he did?

[Because she certainly did not.]

What did you end up doing anyway?

[gruffier]

He did not, but mentioned he was rather insistent.

[ Oh? ]

Curious?

[garudas]

What can I say? I enjoy a good story. And I must make sure that the beating my fist took against your jaw was well worth the effort.

[That may be a yes.]

[gruffier]

I assure you my jaw remembers.

[ But alright!! If she asked for it!! ]

It was a flower field. Much like the snow daises of our realm, I had discovered similar flowers on a cliffside at The Roost. Jill had always favored those.

The skies were clear that night and we were blessed with the presence of a full moon. And though as natural as the earth, the flowers almost glowed in the moonlight. It was there that I had asked for her hand.

Well, that is quite romantic, but she is not about to give him the satisfaction of saying that, so she lands on—]

What a sap.

[gruffier]

Guilty.

Though I’d imagine Cid may have had to have gone through farther cliff sides to claim your favor.

[garudas]

Far too many for my liking, I am afraid, though I admit I did not make it easy.

No, he was as much a sap as you the last time he had to ask, and serenaded me from below the balcony. Right out of a romance novel. I see you take after one another more than I care to admit.
