This place is always beautiful; Alice has co here several tis before. But today was exceptionally beautiful, more so than she could rember.
Perhaps in her and Isla's eyes, besides the beauty displayed in the sky, the greatest beauty was in the face of the man who brought them here.
While they had never fallen in love before, the feeling they felt when they saw him was so indescribable that they were sure it was love. Today, he seed to be surrounded and tucked in by a beautiful wonder in the sky whose na they didn't know, which enhanced Matthew's beauty even more in their eyes.
While they were both in shock at the beauty in front of them, Matt began to prepare many things to make food. He had decided to have a barbecue, sothing typical of his holand, in the evening hours.
"Are you going to cook?" They both approached him in shock.
Matt nodded to them. "That's right, even though I know you both cook, let prepare today's al. I'll make you sothing delicious."
Without wasting any ti, he cut up the special at he had bought, which was very delicious (verified by him), although he didn't know what animal it was from. He then seasoned them and, in an indeterminate amount of ti, began to roast them.
During that ti, Matthew was talking to Alice and Isla, both of whom were curious about this 'wonder of the sky', the nebula.
He explained to them in detail what it was and also explained, terrestrially, how they were ford. He also made up so interesting stories that made both girls listen to him attentively.
And a good while later, Matthew had finished cooking, so after serving, the three of them sat down to eat.
"Amazing, this tastes really delicious!" Both girls couldn't believe how delicious it was. They didn't even have words to describe it, so they were soon imrsed in the divided pleasure of eating their fill.
They didn't expect Matthew to be such a good cook and so versatile in what he could do. Normally they didn't need to eat and just drank blood or Matthew's tea, which was also extrely delicious, but this ti was a great revelation for both of them.
When they were satisfied, they were finally able to relax and lay back to look up at the sky. "Amazing... I didn't think we could have such peaceful days." Alice smiled. It had been a long ti since she had been able to enjoy life in a normal way.
She almost always had to be researching, ditating, training, or studying. There wasn't much room to go out and hang out quietly since if she did, her life would get cluttered.
Matthew smiled at her as he nuzzled her and allowed her to rest on his chest. "It's not always possible, but these are worthwhile days, so just relax and forget about the problems for today." He spoke.
Isla was lying on his leg, so both girls were enjoying his caresses while talking.
The night talk went on for a while until Matthew suddenly stood up. "Matt?" they both looked at him, confused.
Matthew then walked a bit and stood in front of them. He pulled out two small boxes, which fit in the palm of his hand, and then looked at them. "Charlotte once taught that if I ever fell in love and wanted that girl to stay with , yes or yes, I had to abide by a certain tradition that existed.
Even though she said it because she wanted to do it with her, I will take her teachings to use it today."
"I already found Charlotte and even though we are estranged right now and our relationship got a little weird, she is and will always be my wife. If I have to kill a whole race to allow her to co back to , I will do it."
"But now I've tried to open my heart to do things differently. Sotis, I think this is the way it should be. Sotis I feel this is the right way, and although it occasionally clashes with my feelings, I have gradually co to understand."
"I won't accept either of you two ending up in the hands of another man, of that I'm sure. If soone tried to lay his hand on you, not even the bones would be left. That's why I want to use that tradition to ask you..." Matt smiled a little as he said this.
He did it once with Charlotte, and it was a little strange because when he thought of doing it, Charlotte thought of doing it too. That ti, they both got down on their knees and when they thought the other was surprised looking down on them from above, they realized that they had indeed both planned the sa thing.
But this ti, he wanted to go ahead, and he could, mainly because giving a ring was a tradition of the land, not here.
And that was why he knelt on one knee before both of them. "So, with this tradition... Would you like to marry ? In keeping with the tradition that I rember, I will put a ring on them that will flaunt our engagent."
Alice and Isla were shocked to hear him and stood up abruptly, not knowing what to say.
They were so shocked they couldn't react and sohow, tears began to erge from both of their eyes. Isla was the most sentintal to jump to Matt imdiately. "Matt, of course!" her voice trembled a little and although she didn't understand the tradition Matt was talking about, she was naturally willing to marry him.
"Obviously, of course, I want to marry you!" Behind Isla, Alice ca to hug him tightly. She didn't care if there was another woman; that was normal. And she was also sure that there would be more in the future.
And that didn't matter to her; she only cared that Matthew was there. So, they both accepted without hesitation, amidst tears and indescribable joy.
Matt could also feel that indescribable joy he once felt. It made him smile. 'Rembering that I still exist and that there are now people who support and love is always a good thing.' He smiled and proceeded to put the ring on them.
"Did they do sothing like that in the olden days? I didn't know..." Alice was amazed, and although this was unusual, it felt too good not to express her joy and look at her engagent ring.
While the ring had not been custom-made, it was a matching ring between the 3. One had the lace, the man's, and the other two could fit perfectly and form a perfect set of 3 rings. Knowing they had sothing that formalized the relationship made both girls too happy.
