"I... I have another present for you." Dorothy told her leaning back so she could look at Ruby better. "Well I say mine but really it's from the rest of the Council." she laughed brushing the happy tears from her eyes.
"Going to be pretty hard to top a double proposal Gale. Even for them." Granny teased while the Ozein hero pushed herself up to her feet "I don't think that was the intent when they gave it to me." Dorothy corrected honestly at Granny's raised eyebrow look "But given Red's current state I'd say this is a good time to test it." Dorothy elaborated pulling the neatly wrapped box from its hiding place behind the bookshelf under Granny and Ruby's watchful gaze.
"Not a clue." the elder wolf admitted from what Dorothy guessed was a question in the form of a grunt from her wolf. "But how about waiting until she opens it for you to see huh?" Granny suggested while Ruby kept eyeing the wrappings carefully as if expecting to look through them to the gift beneath. "Humm." the wolf relented her expression unreadable while Dorothy folded herself back down in front of her.
"You're adorable when you're impatient you know." The Oz girl commented kissing the top of her wolf's head "I just want you to know that the reason I asked them to help me with this," she added with a soft sighed noting how Ruby sat up straighter when she noted the serious look on her mate's face. "its because I want you to know the same calm and safe feeling I have here when things like this happen," Dorothy explained placing her hand on her heart then reached over to cover Ruby's feeling it race under her palm. "I've known from the first time you let me see you like this that you would never do anything to hurt me." Dorothy smiled letting her fingers weave themselves into the soft fur of Red's chest. "But you being your beautiful stubborn self when it comes to your wolf I also know that you need a little more convincing." She continued winking at the exasperated huff the comment earned from her new fiancée.
"Do you trust me?" Dorothy asked her lip curling up in a small smile at the slow double take Red did between her and the moon before nodding a little giving Dorothy her own version of a wolfish grin as the hero leaned in to give her muzzle another kiss before she lifted the lid of the box in her lap, so Ruby could see what was waiting for her inside.
Dorothy turned from Ruby as she heard a sniffle behind them when she'd lifting the near identical cloak to the one Red left in Storybrooke from the box for the wolf's inspection. "I. I'll...I've got to go check on the cookies before that kitchen catches fire or something," Granny announced leaving the room quickly before she became a completely sobbing mess because to the couple again.
Both women watched her exit then turned as one back to the face each other again. "Don't think of this as me not trusting you." Dorothy begged seeing the fresh tears in the wolf's golden eyes as she lowered the cape back into the box "It's just I know how well prepared you like to be around moons but since you were being all adorably puppy love Red this time around and just forgot to pack it this trip cause you were working on plans for well this…" she stopped to gesture around the carefully decorated room "I wanted to have a backup for you here so you wouldn't be as panicked when you remember that yours is still back at the apartment." She backtracked
"And seeing as how I'd really rather hear your answer than just guess at them and I'd Really like to be able to put this ring on your finger." Ruby shifted anxiously while pleased whimpering sounds filled Dorothy's ears at the reminder. "Want to help a girl out Wolfie?" Dorothy wondered draping the new cloak around Ruby's shoulders apprehensive.
"I know what you meant the first time you said it and I love that you had a spare made to counteract my paranoid self, of course, I want to marry you. God, I love you, so much Kansas and Mother Oz do I want to kiss you right now." Red panted out in a rush before throwing herself at Dorothy sending them both onto the ground as her mouth crashed down on her true loves for a long hungry kiss.
