Previously: "I would like to present, the newly engaged couple, Master Numair Salmalin, Black Robe Mage to our very own Wild Mage, Daine Sarrasri."
Daine and Numair stood up as their friends cheered. "Yes, yes," Jon said, "I think we would all love to hear how Numair proposed. Would you care to enlighten us?" Daine blushed as Numair started to tell the story.
"Well, I guess it all started on the last day of the war. I had asked Daine if she would marry me and she said that she would someday, only if I was very very good." Numair looked at Daine and she blushed even more. "Well, as most of you know, I was in a meeting with Jonathan this morning. While I was away Daine decorated our room with flower pedals. The whole room looked like a wave of roses." Numair smirked. "Anyways, on the bed Daine spelled with white rose pedals amongst the red, 'Today is someday.' She had lit candles all over the room to give it a romantic glow. I decided to trick the trickster. I left a note on the bed, and told her to go to the stables."
Daine cut in and told her side of the story. "Numair had magicked the note so that when I touched it his message appeared. He told me to go down to the stables, but to look under the bed first. Under the bed was this dress, necklace, and these earrings. I quickly changed and headed down to the stables, where I ran into most of you." Daine indicated to Jon, Thayet, King Kale, Queen Faye, James, Alanna, George, and the others. "George gave me the shoes—"
Numair took over, "The shoes that an hour previous I had given him to surprise Daine with."
"And Jonathan reassured me that they would not break to wear."
"Meanwhile I was in the forest, in a glade waiting for Daine to show up on Cloud. After I had give George Daine's shoes I went to the stables and told Cloud where to take Daine."
"Once I got to the stables, Cloud told me that there was a blindfold in his saddle bag and that I was to put it on so that I didn't see where it was that he was taking me."
"I saw Daine arrive and I just froze as the sun bounced off of her hair. It's a vision that is burned into my mind. She went to remove her blindfold, but I told her not yet. I lifted her off of Cloud and kneeled in front of her with the engagement ring. When she took of her blindfold—"
"I said yes," Daine said.
"And then I did this." Numair swooped down and kissed Daine passionately. Daine could feel a very angry vibe coming from her left. She knew that there was a very angry prince in this ballroom.
I hope that this update was satisfying!
