She noticed the expression on his face, the look in his eyes and she felt horrible at first, but that feeling quickly calmed down as he pulled her in a hug and she held on to him. Taking a deep breath and smelling his cologne and just settling in basically. This is what she wanted, it felt so safe. She bit her lip as he talked to her and she was just blushing a lot when she heard what he said. "You flatter me too much." She murmured but she let him hold her and she snuggled as close as she could while they were in the car. She nodded when he answered her next thing and she wanted to say something to, "Y-yea, and-and I don't think you are stupid or clumsy, I think you are passionate and motivated and people can learn from that too." She wanted to compliment him after he did for her and contradict his bad things because this was true. She looked up at him but soon lowered her eyes as she did not know what to say.

She looked at her hands and she would listen. She smiled a little as he spoke about her being stolen and people having their eyes on her. She looked up slowly again, meeting his eyes as he said her name, she blushed. She watched him kiss her hands, she had no word in her mind to be able to reply to him, no matter how much she wanted. "I do." She wanted to give it a chance, she wanted to be okay with just the engagement even if it was fast, it did not have to be the official one even if he would give her a ring, he just confessed himself he would do another bigger, better proposal and she should accept that. There was nothing much to say, she had so many more questions but she could ask them at another time, later tonight, anything really but for now they were just doing okay and were looking soon for a ring to fit her finger.

"Maybe, but so do you." She teased at him and although it was not a matter to be teased about, it was the truth and she couldn't change that. Maybe that's why they were so well together, complimenting each other. She was sure they needed each other their support else it would be a spiral going down all the time. But his behaviour was making her shy and unsure what to say, she wanted to ask but she wanted to be good, she wanted this to go nicely. This wasn't how she expected the conversation would go but then again she did forget they both were having the same religion and she found it, with the fingers of her free hand, his rosary and she touched it softly and thanked God for this path. She knew the words had a higher meaning in situations like these but they were the words she needed to convey what she wanted to say and so she did and she blushed, even more, when he returned the same words to her. I do.

She had gotten used to his lifestyle and she wondered if he had gotten used to hers. She waited for him when he just got out of the car to open her door. Only this time, he did not only do that, he took her out and lifted her up. Closing the door with his leg and just muttering the words again and she smiled and kissed him back, "I do." She would hold on to him, whisper if this was a smart idea but she laughed, even though it was without a sound she was so happy that they got over her stupidity and that it was a misunderstanding but this was going well and she was so happy. I do.

That's even how he carried her inside and she had to ask him to put her down, "Else I can't see anything." She laughed a little and she would take his hand though and look while staying next to his side, she did not want to seem too eager to find a ring and spend his money. She wanted to do it together, depending of course if he would know what kind of ring he wanted to give her but she was not interested in the big diamond and golden rings so she would let her eyes scan the shop, finding the smaller and yet more detailed classical rings and that's where she wanted to go.

Everything had gone better than she expected, it made her afraid, it made her feel silly and she was just holding on to something non-existent but it was and he was here. She still got it, never took it off, his rosary and she would never want to do that. She might have forgotten to give it back in the happiness that he returned, but she wore it, like his pendant though the latter she did not wear at missions so it was missing from her neck now. "I love you." She mumbled again, not exactly shy but they had started to speak in a soft tone and she wanted to keep to that.

The carrying to the store and their laughing was something she liked a lot and she couldn't help but keep snickering and just hold onto him until he put her down. She would first shyly walk with him, looking at the big diamond rings on display. But he could see the frown between her eyebrows, she did not like this style and would move on until she found the smaller ones and the ones that looked like little leaves made of silver, the stones made as flowers, that's what she loved and that's what she wanted. She was a little hesitant, but as she walked to the bar she told the girl behind it the rings she liked and if she could try them and she looked up at Giovanni. She wanted him to like them too? She would not want the one with too many diamonds, that was more like a wedding ring to her and she did not want to be too extravagant, but she held the ring with the little diamonds in the golden circle in her hands and looked at it, it was really pretty. But she put it down with a soft sigh and looked over the others.

Finally she saw one she liked the most, the little white but soft pink diamonds were made in a pattern of a flower over a simple orb for the ring itself. She held it in her hand and turned her head left and right to watch it, she held it in front of her and tried it on her finger, she had the immediate right size which was a miracle and she looked at it while it being on her right hand. Strange how it gave her butterflies while the man who did so stood by her side, it wasn't the ring, it was the gesture.

She blushed a bit red, her ears mostly which was new when Giovanni told the girl behind the desk she should try her new ring. The girl of the store immediately seemed to talk to Giovanni about the newest engagement rings and so on and Nimue just buried her face basically in watching the rings, lowering her head, looking at the rows of rings she had put on the table. Good god, so many. The girl would go on and talk about what colours would fit Nimue's complexion the most, surprisingly, in the end, the conclusion was that everything would fit but that people had a preference for either gold or silver and she wondered if Nimue had that too. It remained quiet for a bit and she looked up as she had missed that the question was to her, "Oh-oh ehm I eh- I don't know." It depended on everything right? What the stones looked like and so on. As the girl went to grab something else, a thing for Nimue to check which ring size she needed, she was in the meantime checking the rings.

"Oh," she felt shy again when Giovanni asked if she liked that one. That one was expensive with the small diamonds on the side of the ring. "I think ehm for an engagement ring it might be too much? But it's really pretty for sure." The pink white diamond in that one was definitely something she looked for and she went to inspect it further until she found a less diamond version of that ring, more in patterns of flowers and she held it up and inspected it, asking if she could fit it after the girl took her ring size. Actually she wanted to know what he thought. "Do-do you like this one?" She held it up on her hand, checked it on her finger when she got the right size and she just loved it. It was elegant and yet obviously not a normal ring and she just felt a little giddy about it, which was now obviously seen on her face considering the stress from before or more the anxiety.

She let out a little yelp when he picked her up when they got outside. "Hmm, that's very romantic of you." She giggled and let him kiss her, "But wait watch where you walk, don't be dangerous." But she could not stop laughing and let it be. once they arrived at the car, she replied to his kiss by kissing him on the lips as well and just smiling. Today was great, she would want to remember today all the time, was it bad to take a selfie when they got home for herself, preferably with him and the ring in the shot and she wanted to just keep it for herself. It was a bit silly, she just kissed him again when he put her back on the ground and she would wait for him in the car. Still she had questions, she realized when they got back, and she wanted to know. "Can I ask, about your mother?" She looked at him when he would take a seat and would just be curious. He said he looked like his mother and well they had something in common. "I always believed I was more like my father." Artistic, calm and kind while her mother, especially to her, was just a fighting mess, focused on the future but not on the person. She hoped she could just ask now because she wanted to know while they would drive home.

She would wonder what would happen for the rest of their weekend and what they would do, it surely was a curious matter and she was wondering and considering and just waiting and holding her hand on his knee if she could and if he wouldn't mind. She stupidly wanted to be in contact with him. She felt so clingy and bad and yet so in love with him, what did it matter?

"I know that." She smiled when he said he would be extra careful, god she loved him. And even when he held her, she held his face and kissed him. They just got engaged and even if it wasn't part of the plan and there would be an official engagement at any other given time that she would not know, she was just happy he picked her. He loved her and cared for her, even after finding her in the rain in the most horrible state of her mind. "I am so grateful to you." She said when she was still in his arms, "I have been blessed to meet you." She smiled and just wanted to be held before she climbed into the car.

When in the car she would look through his CDs to find one for the background music and she would just decide that she would ask something. She wanted to know about his mother and she hoped he would care about her that she could ask. She was important to him or so it seemed when she asked the first time so she wanted to know. That's why she would talk a bit about her own father, it was trying to find something in common. Something stable. Her hand still on his knee, she saw his calm and gentle approach and she wanted to keep that way, "I just would like to know a bit about her, do you still think about her a lot?" Was that a rude question but she felt it was far more open to ask that then ask when she passed away, because that would be cruel right? "I now understand how you were able to catch me when I felt like I couldn't stand or continue on without my father." She would just look at him with a bit of worry, but obviously he wouldn't see as he was driving but she wanted to know.
