"Besides, the walk to the owlery can be lonely. You can keep me company."
Of all the people Ella pictured herself having this conversation with, Forrest was definitely not one of them. She clearly couldn't explain to him why she felt the way she did about marriage because her views were sort of cynical for reasons. She understood where his parents were coming from, though. As for things being serious, the blonde supposed that was true. "Well, we've been together for over two years now." Which was...a long time, yeah? "So we're serious about each other, I guess." But the marriage stuff? Yeah, she didn't know. She didn't want to worry about that until much later.
Forrest looked at her and felt bad for making her feel bad. He opened his arms and gave her a big, weird hug--his best on stairs.
"You're a great captain, alright? The best I've ever had." He met her eyes and grinned. She was the ONLY captain he'd ever had, so she automatically was also the best, but that was the joke, see? Hopefully, it would cheer her up and save her from silly thoughts.
"Okay, we will write letters together." He was actually excited for this.
"My mum knows about you." Nodnod. Since she was the best captain he'd ever had.
"She said I'm lucky to have you as a friend."

"TWO YEARS?!" Like...like...his parents dated
less than two years before they were married! In two years he would be... fifteen! Two years... wow... he couldn't even imagine just how long that was.
"I hope..." What did he hope? What
should he hope?
"I hope... you will be happy forever." Grin.
