/kisses his forehead/ My dear, I’m sure he’s not angry with you. /thinks, ‘Though he might be angry with himself.’/
Mmm, I’m afraid I can’t tell you where I’ve gone. Not yet, anyway. I might tell you when you’re older.
As for Papa…he’s better, but he’s under a great deal of stress. /sighs/
/smiles and pets his hair/ I know, treasure. I…had something I needed to do. /smiles wider and nuzzles his nose/ I’m home now, though.

/looks up at him with expectancy that is half-hopeful and half-terrified/ /more slowly, still hesitantly/
Would you…would you marry me…?
/blinks slowly, starting to smile/ /pulls into a hug/ I zaid agez ago that I would, provided it wazn’t a zeremony where I’d have to zwear anything to Him, didn’t I?
/smiles widely and snuggles against him, hugging him tightly/ There doesn’t have to be a ceremony at all if you don’t want…people have called us “practically married”….we could just exchange rings. I’d be happy with just that.
