Day 332 - closed to Ton
[ It was a morning like any other. A morning just like yesterday and the day before that, of warmth and curling up against Ton's back, arm loosely draped over his waist. An arm that's a little heavier today than it was the morning before — there's still a ring on her finger.

She smiles happily in her half-sleep, burrowing her nose into his spine. A sneaky tactic to get him to wake up, for sure. If this doesn't work she might just toss Gadget on him. ]

[ Video, closed to Jack ]

Hey, Jack! I have a favor to ask you. Well, two, actually.

[It works to wake him up mostly because it's irresistably cute and he opens his eye with a smile. There's something shiny reflecting in his face and he blinks in irritation, trying to figure out what it is.

Waaaaiiit a second.

Alright, yesterday was very weird but in between heart to hearts he's fairly sure he did a Thing. A big dramatic important Thing. A quick glance confirms that yes indeed that's a ring on her finger alright. And even though the sight makes him happy there's also plenty of panic, too. What if the only reason he asked - or, even worse, the only reason she said yes - was because of whatever mind games the Wardens were playing yesterday? Does this even count? He decides to play it cool as he rolls over to return the snuggling.]

Good morning.

[ It'll take her another moment or two before she fully remembers what happened yesterday, what with the abundance of siblings and sharing far too much information with a woman she doesn't even really like just because she's the sister-in-law of a brother she doesn't have. For now, she's warm and snuggled up and Ton's awake and everything is wonderful. ]

Good morning. [ Wait for it... ] Oh.

[ There it is. ]

I don't have a brother.

	[Despite the flock of nervous butterflies doing flips in his stomach he can't help but chuckle at that observation.] No, you don't, sorry. And Kitty's not married to Jack, either so I'm pretty sure he's about to have an interesting morning. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Oh my God. [ She giggles happily. ] I'd love to be a fly on their wall. Only, maybe not because ew. [ And then another thing occurs to her that seems more important than not!siblings. She can adopt those any day of the week. ] ...You proposed to me. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	[Undoubtedly Kitty will be getting a very annoying call from him about the subject later. But that's not important right now. The proposal thing is. He actually looks a little shy, and maybe that's even a nervous blush on what's left of his face.] Um. Yeah. I did, didn't I? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	pushedback 2015-07-13 03:16 pm UTC (link)
	You did. You really did. [ And she doesn't seem to upset by it either, in the cold light of morning. ] Was that... for real? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	wraith_7 2015-07-13 03:27 pm UTC (link)
	[The lack of upset is a good sign. He's still pretty nervous though. It kind of feels like he's proposing all over again.] Yeah. I mean, I'm pretty sure I came up with the idea because of whatever they were doing with our heads yesterday but I meant it, and all the stuff I said. I can do it again today if you want me to. If it was for real for you, I mean. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	It was for real for me. I mean, if you don't... if it's too soon we can just pretend like nothing happened. [ Yeah, right. ] I'm keeping the ring, though. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	wraith_7 2015-07-13 03:39 pm UTC (link)
	Don't you dare take that ring off, Charlotte Charles. [Does he even need to say it was real with those words and that smile?] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	[ He doesn't need to say anything. He's probably going to have some trouble talking for a while anyway what with how she's kissing him all happy. ] We're engaged. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	wraith_7 2015-07-13 03:55 pm UTC (link)
	[The stomach butterflies are annihilated and tragically burn to death in the internal fireworks going off right now. Kissing is always good but right now its extra good.] We're engaged. For real. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	pushedback 2015-07-13 04:27 pm UTC (link)
	For real real. [ She doesn't feel much different from yesterday, which is a relief. A little sad that she doesn't have a gaggle of relatives to flash the ring at but her aunts weren't here and at the end of the day, they're the only blood relatives that matter at all. Friends do just as well, and she's got a bunch of those. ] We should get you a ring too. Right? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	wraith_7 2015-07-13 04:31 pm UTC (link)
	Okay. Absolutely. Whatever you want. [He wishes her aunts could be here for this, too. They're the one missing ingredient to all this so he'll do his best to make everything else extra perfect.] That goes for actually getting married, too. Wedding stuff, I mean. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)
