Forever and Always

Poems reactions to his touches stoked the fires of his intention. He wanted this. He wanted to forever have them tied together in love. Poem was the only woman for him and he would make things official. He would not dishonor her.

When the woman agreed to close her eyes, he could see the inquisitive look on her features. After the pot was placed before her and she opened her eyes again, Sparhawk could feel the lump of his heart in his throat. Would she like it? He hoped that she would appreciate his efforts. It wasn't the best pot, but he had made it specifically for her.

Poems soft exhale of his name as she looked at the pot made Sparhawk breathe again. His tones were low and soft as he explained. "Blue clay from the cave where we meet for first time. Coals from fire from our story telling. Thorns from the thicket where I made my decision." She likely wouldn't understand the last part just yet, but in a moment, she would.

Reaching out with one paw, Sparhawk took Poems pale paw in his own. "Po-em Destruction of Abaven..." He tried very hard to speak clearly and in her proper tongue. The language that they'd worked on together. "I have loved you from the very moment that the lightning illuminated you in the cave. Each day I love you more. I cannot imagine a world without you in it. Would you do this man the honor of being his wife?" Ruby eyes stared into blue and lavender. He spilled his love for her into them, hoping that he'd done enough to prove himself.
