And she needs to kiss him as soon as she sees him again of course.

Yep, much kissing! Kissing is like the third or fourth best thing.

And then he brings out the little box and reveals a simple but highly durable-looking pair of rings and asks, "Sadde, will you marry me?"

The noise she makes is inhuman.

And then she's on him and kissing is not the only thing happening. It's not unlikely their clothes won't survive this.

He planned ahead for that.

But yes kissing and pretty much nothing else.

Everything* else, he means, probably.

She pauses the proceedings about an hour in to say, "That was a yes, by the way."

"Mmmmhm, I figured. I picked the most durable rings I could find - I actually tried to break them - so hopefully they'll last as long as we will."

"—you did? What are they made of?"

"Titanium, plus lots of rune work and enchantments."

"You are the best mate—" And she resumes the thing she'd paused.

Which renders him speechless pretty effectively, to be honest.

After several more hours she'll probably have had enough that she won't want to jump his bones again right this minute, though.

Those were clearly the best several more hours, though. He'll be grinning for days.

"I love you so much. This is the best day of my life. So glad I didn't wait longer to turn."

"I love you more than anything." She looks at the rings and eeeeees again.

"I'm really, really glad you like those! I was so nervous about it."

She giggles. "I think it'd be impossible for me not to like them."

"Not necessarily! But, yeah."

"...And now that we seem to be done having sex for now, I kind of want to work on transistor manufacture again. It's exciting, don't you know."

"I do know, and seeing you excited is one of the best things I have in this life."

"Then let's be excited together!"

Science and engineering are Great and Sadde is Great and everything will be Great.

Absolutely great!
