*Katherine gave Alde a light, playful punch in the arm, turning red. So he really had not gotten __any__ of the hints she had given him?*

"You dummy!"

*Turning back to Charlyne, the captain rolled her eyes a little at her lover's appareny lack of awareness.*

"It wasn't quite... Ok, yeah, it was. I actually wasn't looking for love at the time, but I think my heart had other ideas. And for the best, too."

*A loving look is given to the blond, before burying her face in her hands.*

"Gods that sounds so weird..."
Mike
*He playfully rubbed where she punched his arm. He chuckled a little awkwardly, as he rubbed the back of his neck, and admittedly felt pretty dumb in the moment for not having seen the signs. He smiled when Katherine gave him a loving look, and wrapped an arm around her, pulling her a little closer with his smile growing.*

"Well I uh..."

*He thought of possibly saying something, but lost his thought in the moment, when he heard her comment of how weird it sounded and... He couldn't deny that it did indeed seem really weird in hindsight.*

"Well... Uh, if I don't ask now, I might forget to do this later..."

*He removed his arm temporarily from Katherine, as he got down to one knee. His cheeks burning brightly, as he gulped down a slightly nervous breath, and sppoke.*

"Katherine... You... You've given me some of the best few months of my life ever since I met you, and especially once we started dating, and it took me a long while to think of a gift that meant as much as your gift to me was, and... I thought that, the best gift I could ever give you, is a family... My family. Would you... Marry me?"

*He reached into his pocket, to reveal a golden ring, with a small diamond upon its middle. Engraved on the front side of the ring is the carved images of a Greatsword pointing towards the gem socketed into the ring, from both the left and right sides. Its now probably rather easy to guess why Alde went back to his camp every day for an hour. Likely working up the courage to ask, and to make this ring, and to then make it a work of art.*
Robert
*Charlyne was amused by Katherine's playful punch, and found it cute when Alde pulled her close. Before growing speechless at how wonderfully wholesome his proposal was, and she looked between the two, a grin forming, as she nodded her head in approval.*
