Well she's just going to make sure he's very enlightened. He will have a very complete picture. He is lovable. Evidence: she loves him.


... Though to be honest she's not sure how far to take this passionate make out session. There is an obvious conclusion they could arrive at here, but they are sort of in the middle of the woods. She's finding it increasingly hard to care, but, they are in the woods.

...Milan kind of finds it difficult to remember that they are in the woods, let alone care about that inconsequential fact.

Luckily, or unluckily, Aliveth hasn't quite mastered breathing through her nose. She logically understands it's a thing she can do, but also, Milan is present and she is kissing him and it's hard to remember all of the things she can do while this is occurring. So she's - got to stop kissing to breathe, and then giggle with delight.

"We're in the woods," she murmurs, breathless. Maybe she should have said something romantic there, but, well. Oops?

"...that's true," Milan acknowledges. "Um. How much do we care."

Permalink

"I'm caring less and less each passing second."

Permalink

"I'm not, but only because I reached the minimum a while ago."

She laughs. And the justifications are just rolling in, aren't they, they're not near a town, they found a pretty out of the way place to sleep, this area's pretty clear of life, there aren't any roads near here -

"I love you." Kiss - that was meant to be a peck but she's having trouble stopping - kiiiiiiiiiiss - okay, okay, she can talk, she can talk, she has important information to relate, "Did you know, I won't have kids unless I intend to?"

Permalink

"Well. Goodness," he says. "Your family's magic again? It just keeps getting better."

Permalink

"It would be a bad idea for the royal family to have accidental kids! And it was really easy to do once it figured out how to cause people to have kids. And we're far away from any roads, and away from the river, and there isn't a town for miles, and screw it who cares, I don't, kiss me."

Permalink

"Okay."

He kisses her. They've gone over the part where neither of them has much experience in this area, they can figure it out together, it'll be fine.

Permalink

The mechanics are relatively straightforward, and they are free to combine knowledge bases about anything relevant that one of them might know and that the other might learn.

They're - well, two people without experience figuring it out together in the woods, but they're both attentive and conscientious and fast learners, and they do all right. No complaints. ... Except maybe the twigs. And that one rock. But with each other? Certainly not.

 

"So," says Aliveth lightly, "marry me?"

Permalink

"Gladly."

Permalink

"Excellent." She kisses him, smiling irrepressibly.

".... But maybe let's not do this in the woods again," she giggles. "I mean, I don't - I'm not sorry, it was perfect, just." She waves a hand, vaguely.

Permalink

"Yeah, no, agreed on all counts."

Permalink

Giggle.

"I'm still having trouble describing the quality that did it. 'Willingness to fight dragons,' isn't quite it. Being - the type of person to not let overwhelming adversity stop you when you wanted to do something, maybe?"

Permalink

"I have worked very hard my whole life to suppress my overwhelming innate tendecy to be that type of person."

Permalink

"I know. I'm - the exact set of emotions I'm having on that subject are sort of like. If I were talking to someone and they said, 'my parents broke my paint set because they wanted me to become a physician and don't like the smell of paint in their house'? Because I like your tendency to be that person." Pause. Wry smile. "Obviously."

Permalink

"...aww," he says, smiling slightly. "That's - I'm touched."

Permalink

"Surprise, I'm in love with you. It makes me sentimental."

Permalink

 

He hugs her. Just. Because.

Permalink

Yay!!!

Permalink

 

 

"... We should maybe put our clothes back on," she giggles. "We're still in the middle of the woods."

Permalink

"Well that's very responsible and reasonable of you," he says.

...he's still hugging her though.

...he sighs and lets go and kisses her on the cheek and looks for clothes.

Permalink

Aliveth smiles fondly and does the same. They didn't exactly fling anything anywhere, but they had stopped keeping track of where everything went, and they are in the woods...

... She is briefly distracted from her task when she finds one of Milan's socks and goes to return it. Turns out: yes, she does find Milan physically attractive, and the scars are so hot. And he's very fit - probably from skirmishing? That seems like the sort of thing that would result in... that.
