Have to do this right

Remus could see in Venom's face as she listened to his request and while he stated his case to win her daughter's paw in marriage that she had her reservations, but whether that was how she would react to anyone asking to marry one of her children or how she felt about him specifically he couldn't be sure. He had walked in to this knowing that it really only go one of two ways—either he would get what he desired in being allowed to ask Ike to marry him or he was going to get kicked out of the pack and barred from seeing Ike again. He didn't think that Venom was the kind of woman to go as extreme as the latter option, but he also couldn't rule out the possibility either. The worry and anxiousness that had gnawed at him as he built up the courage to do this made him assume the worst.

However, it seemed his worrying was all for nothing since after a few moments of silent consideration, Venom finally gave him her answer and caught him so far off guard that he almost didn't believe his ears. A grin slowly spread across his lips as she went on, speaking about the effect his time with Ike had on her daughter and eventually gave her his blessing and her support to them both. He couldn't contain the ecstatic grin that made his cheeks hurt and how his tail wagged like crazy behind him. He had tried to keep himself looking composed and responsible through this whole thing, but deep down he was still the love struck young man that was simply head over heels for the Crown Princess. He still had to actually ask Ike to marry him, but knowing he had Venom's blessing helped him feel like he was making the right move.

He wanted to just throw his forelegs around her and give her a hug, but he restrained himself and simply gave her a grateful dip of his head instead. "Thank you, Empress. This means more to me than you can possibly know. I'm not sure when I'll ask her just yet, but... I know I'm not just asking her to marry me, I'm asking to be a part of your family as well so I wanted to make sure I did this right." He got to his paws, still grinning from ear to ear while his mind already started to run away with ideas of how he was going to ask Ike one of the most important questions he'd ever ask her. "Thank you for letting me be a part of your pack and welcoming me in," he added with a slightly more bashful smile. "I've been missing my family a lot lately and being here and being a part of Ashen with Ike has made me feel like I have a real home here, so... Thank you."
