end of day/start of night

[serpente]

I suppose when a man gives you a ring and a precious stone, one can consider themselves 'engaged'. That IS how it works, isn't it?

[ After the ring of teeth marks left by Hibari, he's just received a mini-sun stone that used to be a jewel off Rei's hair. It's very warm and, as someone with cold-blooded physiology, he appreciates it very much. ]

You should probably ask the person you're trying to get engaged with.

[serpente]

I don't need to ask to know what his answer will be.

[bloodyashes]

And not the kind of answer that calls for a celebration, I take it.

[serpente]

It's nothing less than what I expect. Getting an answer from him is more difficult than getting a stone to speak.

In any case, I don't see why people celebrate the occasion so loudly.

[bloodyashes]

Around here, that's not so difficult.

It's more a question of why they wouldn't, I think.

[serpente]

So you're someone who would feel the need to announce your union to everyone else?

[bloodyashes]

It's not something I've really considered. My wedding back home would have been a national event.

[serpente]

Ah, the choice is taken out of your hands I see. I imagine your betrothed is decided for you as well?

[bloodyashes]

She was. It's not going to happen like that, now. Dying kind of gets in the way of engagement plans.

[serpente]

Death is inconsiderate like that. I'm familiar with the feeling.
