*arrives in, with her phone between her ear and her shoulder* So just call me when you get this, hon, okay bye-bye-bye.

*hangs up and puts all of her bags on the kitchen floor* Good afternoon!

*hurriedly thrusts the ring box behind his back*

*hopes he doesn't look like he was practicing his speech* *because he wasn't* *seriously*

Hi? I mean hi. *smiles* I take it the venture was a success. *teasingly* Did you leave anything for the other shoppers?

	From: irisse	Date: 09/10/2007 18:18:50

*loftily* Nothing worth buying, obviously.

*sits up onto a stool at the breakfast bar* And how have you spent your day in my absence, hm?

	From: ilinsor	Date: 09/10/2007 18:24:30

I...

...had the whole thing memorized?
...can't think with you in the room. Damn.
...'m thinking it's really warm in here?

*walks over so that he's facing you across the bar* *swallows hard* I...got you something.

	From: irisse	Date: 09/10/2007 18:27:16

*brightly* Really? You shouldn't have, you know. I really hope it's not a camel Þerindë handbag because I just bought one.

	From: ilinsor	Date: 09/10/2007 18:31:44

*breathes* No, no, it's...shinier. At least I assume it's shinier. Unless the handbag—never mind.

"Shinier"???

*takes the box from behind his back and carefully sets it in front of you*

*blurts out the first thing that comes to mind* I love you and...well. *pokes the box with his forefinger*

	From: irisse	Date: 09/10/2007 18:38:20

*blinks a few times* L-love? Tilion?

*eyes the box*

*laces her fingers together* What's in the box?

	From: ilinsor	Date: 09/10/2007 22:46:29

*hesitates another moment*

*comes around to your side* *opens the box without picking it up*

*takes your hands instead and looks at you searchingly* *laughs a little* I'm really bad at this part.

	From: irisse	Date: 09/11/2007 18:53:06

*squeezes your hands gently*

*almost laughs at the absurdity of it all* But we hardly know each other.

	From: ilinsor	Date: 09/11/2007 19:52:22

*almost falters but remembers it's just your insecurities coming through* *awww*

I know, but... *more firmly* I know I love you and—I want nothing more than to wake up next to you every day. To make you happy. Will you let me?

	From: irisse	Date: 09/12/2007 17:42:45

*actually does laugh at that* You say that now, Tilion, you say that now.

*extends her index finger to touch the ring*

	From: ilinsor	Date: 09/12/2007 19:24:33

*can't tell whether you laughing is a good sign or a bad sign*

*takes the ring out of the box and tentatively slips it on your finger* *tries to sound nonchalant* Well, try it for size anyway? You could light ships into harbor with that sucker.

	From: irisse	Date: 09/13/2007 13:05:45

I've seen your driving, Tilion. I already know you're insane but this? This?

*looks down at her finger* *supposes it looks quite pretty, really* Spur-of-the-moment decisions always land me in trouble.

	From: ilinsor	Date: 09/13/2007 13:37:21

*thinks this isn't at all how he'd expected you to react, given the fine? piece of advice he received*

*slips an arm around your waist and smiles warmly* Take some time to think it over, then. I'm not going anywhere. *really wishes he could remember the last line to that poem, though, because it was ACE?*

	From: irisse	Date: 09/13/2007 14:13:34

*smiles at you and places her palm on your cheek* Maybe you should think it over too, huh?

*reaches up to kiss you lightly*

	From: ilinsor	Date: 09/13/2007 14:26:15

*can't entirely hide his disappointment* *mumbling* Wouldn't've asked if I hadn't thought about it a little bit.

*returns your kiss somewhat sheepishly*

	From: irisse	Date: 09/13/2007 14:32:08

*laughs* I think you might just be too good for me.

	From: ilinsor	Date: 09/13/2007 14:34:03

*tucks your hair behind your ear and gives you another soft kiss* Not even a remote possibility.

	From: irisse	Date: 09/13/2007 14:37:58

You say that now --

*wraps her arms loosely around your waist*

	From: ilinsor	Date: 09/13/2007 14:41:10

*pulls back from you a little and raises an eyebrow*

*mostly teasingly* You trying to get rid of me, 'Rissë? Here I thought you were looking for something serious. *sighs* Although if you just want me for my body, I can adjust. I suppose.

	From: irisse	Date: 09/13/2007 14:52:28

*runs one hand up your back to rub your neck lightly* *teasingly* Your body is a very good body, I'll grant you that.

	From: ilinsor	Date: 09/13/2007 14:56:52

*wraps both arms around you* You're just asking for a horrible pun right now but I love you so much I won't say it.

	From: irisse	Date: 09/13/2007 14:57:56

*smiles and begs another brief kiss* Thank Eru for small mercies, hm?

	From: moriquende	Date: 09/13/2007 14:52:47

*watches all of this, courtesy of his top-of-the-line stalker gear*

*is somewhat COMPLETELY FLABBERGASTED by (a) the amount of kissing going on; (b) the general lack of revulsion being demonstrated by Aredhel*

Did she say YES?!?!
