Good Day for a Picnic

Syluss Koellian smirks and chuckles a bit shaking head. “I’m not a fan of long distance sea travel unless you’re there, so no worries about that.” He opens the picnic box and inside was, surprise, various forms of jerky, but also some cheese and fruits. Lots of snackable things. And plus the sangria was some regular wine too. “Eao is on this fine wine trip and she said this goes good with cheese so I am taking her word for it.”

Destiney Delvanguard giggles softly. “Your sister is always on some kind of alcohol trip. Unless it’s your sangria, I usually do a nice Gridanian white wine. So I will have to take her word for it. I’ve not had too many different types.” Reaching over to snag a bite of cheese.“Someone in my company said something funny at the party a few days ago. She thinks Aimee and Oni will beat us to getting married. This Starlight makes two years since they got engaged.”

Syluss Koellian chuckles. “I heard she got on someone about cheap wine. I can see it, but she does know good tastes in wine, so I’ll give her that. I like red wine, no specific kind really.” Taking a few crackers and placing a bit of cheese and some meat between them he makes a mini sandwich. “Is that so? Well, we have a location, I can almost guarantee the lot of your company and Eao’s will attend so we have guests. Just need a date and something else… can’t put my finger on it.” He ‘hmms’ softly and plays coy a bit.

Destiney Delvanguard holds up her hand and playfully wiggles her fingers. “You didn’t put a ring on it.” Laughing before nabbing the little snack sized sandwich from him. “I teased Yuti right back since she brought a rather nice miqo’te man with her that she’s apparently living with now. Aimee and Oni don’t even have a location or anything. I’m not worried about it at all. I already got the best prize anyways. You.”

Syluss Koellian watches his sandwich get yoinked from him and he gives her a poke in the side, making himself another one. "That’s right. You don’t have a ring yet. I actually looked for rings and couldn’t find anything that really grabbed me to make me think of you. It never really crossed my mind to have someone make one cause then it wasn’t something as special. To me anyway.” He noms his sandwich down and takes her hand and slides on a purple dragonscale ring, nearly perfect fit for her ring finger. “So I made you one myself. Because you’re worth more than some store bought ring. Made from the heart, for the woman who has mine.”

Destiney Delvanguard was definitely a total sap for such a touching thing. She wasn’t going to cry. Okay maybe a little. Staring down at the hand crafted ring on her finger for a long moment. Turning to rest her hand on his cheek and kiss him. Buy herself a moment to respond. Cause emotions. “I love it. It’s entirely perfect and entirely you. You couldn’t have done a better job then this because it’s perfect.” Wiping at her eyes. “I love you, Syl.”

Syluss Koellian was usually gruff and blunt and not exactly soft with his words or expressions to many, but the few he actually let see the softer and sappy side of him, got it in full. Watching her eyes shimmer with tears he grinned and returned the kiss taking her hand and looking at the ring around her finger. “I love you too Destiney. A dragon scale ring for the wolf’s lady.”

Destiney Delvanguard stared at their hands together with a happy sappy expression on her face. “Now all we’ll have to do is a pick a date. Though perhaps we should wait till after Starlight. I’m sure lots of people will be busy with the holiday. I want to make sure people have the chance to attend and not miss it because of family time.”

( @duskwightwoodsman / @eaotheelf he put a ring on it! :P)

Destiney Delvanguard frowns at the linkpearl conversation before turning it off. Back to the sangria and Syluss. “Yeah. It’s nice when you just want something easy. Besides the company is the best part anyways.”

“Company is the best part.” He did catch her frown and is reminded why he doesn’t like those things anymore. “So… been thinking about us and future things.”

Destiney Delvanguard raises a brow at his words, sipping her drink. “Oh? Thinking about what exactly?”

“I just remember when we were in the Azim Steppe and the vast area, so… I made a trip again just to see it again. The night sky there was so big and vast, and, all I could think about when I was there is, that… I want that to be the place we’re at when we decide to get married.” He knew they talked of it, but never went so far as to confirm it like he did now. He gives pause to see her reaction to it.

Destiney Delvanguard blinked a moment, pausing in her drink. Letting the words sink in. Her eyes going wider. “Syl… Is this your way of asking me to marry you?” There was a hint of a smile, like she was trying to hide it.

Syluss Koellian sets his glass down and pulls her more against him in his lap. “I don’t have a ring for you, I could get one… I’ll probably make one.” He smirks. “But, I want to marry you. Destiney, my wife. there isn’t anything I don’t completely love about that. I love you, and I know a future with you doesn’t need marriage to be amazing. But… you as my wife, can’t get over how much I love hearing or thinking about that.” He leans in, and touches his lips to her cheek. “So, yes. Yes I am.”

Destiney Delvanguard now she couldn’t resist the big smile. “I was hoping you’d ask eventually so I could say yes. And a ring made by you would be wonderful. It doesn’t even have to be fancy. Because I’ll just be happy to know I married to you. You make me so very happy.” Giving him a very happy an delighted kiss.
