Hawke sat on her bed at home, whilst indulging into a classic novel. She felt exhilarated that her new declaration had been accepted by the majority of the public, without any violent outcries. She smiled to herself in contentment and happily sipped her glass of wine. The liquid warmed her chest pleasurably, and she let out a satisfied sigh whilst nuzzling more comfortably into her bed. She heard her bedroom door creak and moved her head from out of the book, so she could see who her visitor was.
"Fenris!" she shrieked, as he took his first step into the room. She let go of her book and ran towards him in ecstasy, smiling like a schoolgirl. She was greeted by his face every single day, and each of these days, she felt like she had just fallen in love; she was truly smitten. She adored the elf, she cared for him when he was in need and despite his original broodiness and constant agitation, and she fell for him quickly. She thought he was simply beautiful, especially now that she could see his smile each day, a smile which she helped to bring out.
She belted towards him and leaped into his arms. She gazed into his delicate viridian-flecked eyes, and smiled angelically. He gave a refined grin in return and kissed her sweetly, whilst letting her down to the floor. He cupped her delicate face and whispered "Astoria... I, I cannot thank you enough. What you have done for me in the past few years is more than I can ever dream of. I love you. I look at you, your gorgeous face, your sweet and graceful smile; and I cannot believe that you are mine. I – I was a fool to leave you that night, years ago. I was afraid. But I realised that you are strong, unbelievably strong, and equally gorgeous. Now, I cannot even comprehend a life without you. I'd rather die, Astoria. You've saved me from the dark; you've saved me from myself. I have not had happiness, I've shied away from it in fear – I have never known it, and I didn't want to hurt anyone – especially you – in my confusion. I realise now that you are my guiding light, my angel, my everything. For, without you, I would be nothing more than a slave; alone in the murky shadows of Hell again. Anyway, I digress, my sweet, I've wanted to do this for a while, but I didn't want to burden you with having me as a...Err, never mind."
He descended to one knee and held out a magnificent diamond ring, which captured every glimmer of light and gleamed radiantly. "Astoria, will you do me the honour of becoming my wife?" Fenris asked jubilantly, with the widest smile he had ever revealed. Astoria's eyes welled up with tears; she slid her hands through her lover's hair, stroking it, and nodded. "O- Of course!" she grinned, as he slid the ring on her finger. He gently kissed his way from her hand to her elbow, and reverted back to the standing position.
Fenris held his fiancée towards his body and whispered "You're the one," into her ear. He gently nibbled the lobe, then – whilst caressing her hair – kissed his way down her neck. His breath sent shivers along her spine and, with each kiss, she moaned with excitement. Her lover lifted her and laid her on the bed. He positioned himself above her, where he undressed her and kissed the entirety of her body, caressing her softly with his fingers. Then, they made love.
