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.]

[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.]

[immunity]

[Follows him. Sorry she can't hang on to him, her hands are busy with dress/basket/kitten. Whichever needs attention.]

[beforehehunted.livejournal.com]

[He understands. There will be plenty of time for that another time.

Home get. He carefully rearranges his hold on Xion so he can open the door before standing aside to let Namine in. Ladies first.]

[immunity]

[Grins and goes in, setting the flowers down somewhere and picking up the kitten.]

I'll just feed this one.

[Mewl.]

[beforehehunted.livejournal.com]

Alright.

[He'll go put Xion to bed.]

[immunity]

[Here, kitty. If he takes too long putting sis to bed, she'll come up to check on them.]

[beforehehunted.livejournal.com]

[He shouldn't take too long. Just making sure she's comfortable and tucked in before kissing her forehead and walking out to find Namine. Sleep well little sister. I'll tell you everything later.]

[immunity]

[She says YOU BETTER

Namine's in one couch, petting the kitten softly while it sleeps on her lap.

With her in that dress, she almost looks like she did go back in time.]

[beforehehunted.livejournal.com]

[HE WILL HE WILL.

...Smiles and walks over to sit next to her.]

[immunity]

{Does he mind if she cuddles up against him?]
