You're right at home, aren't you?

Only a little. It is rather close, but the one from the previous day was closer to what I was used to. I thought for a second we were back home!

I can imagine.

[This tiny Xion is out near the open fields with an older Namine, gathering some flowers while the other is busily drawing. She seems comfortable despite the stiff dress she has on, trying to get her kitten out of her flower basket, her older companion looking less comfortable in her own dress but having no qualms all the same.]

[ooc: backdated to 1800's because fuck I love that era.]

[That hesitation says that he does. He looks like he doesn't know whether to say anything about it or not.]

[immunity]

... Roxas?

[beforehehunted.livejournal.com]

.....I know she has asked me something before, and wanted to ask you about it...But I told her that it is not something that we should be talking about at this point in time.

[immunity]

... what do you mean?

[beforehehunted.livejournal.com]

[..............sighs.]

.........She.......Back home, my family...They would be expecting me to....ask you to................join the family...

[Doesn't look at her, fully expecting her to freak out.]

[immunity]

... you mean... m-marry?

[beforehehunted.livejournal.com]

[Sob.]

...I told her not to ask you about it. I knew that...Marriage at your age, in your time is not really done.

...I am sorry.

[Still refuses to look at her. See, Xion? This is why he didn't want to ask her.]

[immunity]

.....

[She looks half brain broken, half thoughtful at the idea.]

[beforehehunted.livejournal.com]

[The brain broken part he saw when sneaking a glance at her was enough for him. He sighs and shifts his hold on Xion so he can stand up with her.]

Sorry...

[It's not like he expects an answer straight away. He didn't even ask her properly. She's free to take as much time to think about it as she needs. Also Kairi will freak if Namine doesn't tell her about this/what]

[immunity]

[oh nooo he's starting the walking-away habit early.

She makes a move to clutch at his sleeve, getting up with him.]

... have you considered it?

[beforehehunted.livejournal.com]

[Well he's never had a reason to before. But he feels like a complete fool now. He never should have said anything. Now he's just made things awkward between them.]

......Mother wanted me to marry years ago...But I'd never met a girl that I'd even considered spending my life with....until I met you.

[Might as well tell her the truth, as he already told her this much.]

..yes, I have considered it. But I did not want to bother you..I believed that you wouldn't be ready for such a thing.

[immunity]

[She's left speechless at that, staring before loooking at the ground. This is somewhat a but too much to take in. He's right. She'll have to think about it.]

[beforehehunted.livejournal.com]

[...looks at her.]

...I am not asking you to marry me right now. I was simply answering your questions. I told myself that I would wait quite a while before asking. I do not wish to pressure you.

[immunity]

... I see.

[She smiles a little.]

I'm sorry though if I put that kind of pressure on you.


... to be honest, if... I didn't feel so inadequate and immature about myself, I would say yes immediately.

[beforehehunted.livejournal.com]

[Blinks and looks at her.]

You...Why do you feel that way about yourself?

[immunity]

I'm just seventeen...no, I'm turning eighteen soon, which would be the legal marriage age in my time... [She goes red at that but continues on.]

But unlike in your time, girls weren't raised to marry that early. I've still got a lot to learn. ... I'm not going to be a good wife because I don't know how to be.

[Her cooking skills are meager, she's... okay with household chores... she just wants to be a good wife, if ever, for him.]

[beforehehunted.livejournal.com]

[....smiles a little.]

....Namine, I want to marry you because I love you, and cannot imagine spending the rest of my life without you. Not because of anything you can learn or already know. Because of who you are.

That said, I am happy to wait for you. Take as much time as you think you need. As I said, I do not wish to pressure you.

[immunity]

[God, such a sweetie. She smiles at that and stands on tip toes to kiss him gently, since Xion is asleep and all.]

[beforehehunted.livejournal.com]

[Kisses her back, careful not to disturb his sister.]

...I love you.

[immunity]

I love you too.

[beforehehunted.livejournal.com]

[...He wants to kiss her again..But he should probably take Xion home. And he must remember to get her kitten as well!]

[immunity]

[She's got that covered. She picks up Xion's basket and kitten altogether, following them and lifting her long skirt a little so it doesn't get too dirty since it almost reaches the ground :T]

[beforehehunted.livejournal.com]

[Smiles.]

Sorry, I should have remembered to get that.

[He was just too busy beating himself up for mentioning marriage to her.]

[immunity]

It's fine. You can't carry all of these anyway.

[Walks alongside him.]

[beforehehunted.livejournal.com]

[Smiles and leads the way back home.]
