"Do you think we'd have enough room?" Yes, he'd just repeated his previous question. Very clever, Lewis. How eloquent.
But Kurumi, think of the room. Think of the cats. Think of...well, everything.
And then there was a crup in his face. Literally. It was even licking his nose. Lewis smiled and reached up to scratch the canine behind its ears. Or his ears rather. Was it a he? Had Kurumi checked? Before he could dwell on this thought any longer however the little crup had been put back down and Kurumi was leaning against her shoulder. Yes, new thoughts. Thank you.
"A lot of other things...?" Lewis repeated with a confused look, giving Kurumi's hand a soft squeeze. Like what? Their life? Or was there anything particular Kurumi had in mi- Oh. Right. "No, no we haven't." Lewis replied, tilting his head slightly to place a kiss on top of Kurumi's head. Oh wait, did she mean to say that they should pick a date soon? Did she wantt o get married now?
Watching the crups play with one another, Kurumi sighed softly as she leaned against Lewis' shoulder a bit more. "
No, we probably would not," she said. She said probably because there was always room for more creatures as far as she was concerned. There had even been a few times when she had wanted to bring home some of her research from the reservation, but more out of the safety of Walnut and Vanilla she had left the hatchings where they were. Even if some of them needed constant supervision. "
A crup would need a yard...and we don't have one of those..........yet."
Tracing over his skin with her thumb, she tore her gaze from the playing animals and looked at Lewis while the color rose in her cheeks. "
We should do that," she nodded, color only intensifying further. Father had been asking her about it, but mostly her grandparents had been the ones pushing. They also wanted to make sure that there was a traditional Shinto ceremony performed, which was going to mean that Lewis would need lessons on how to sit formally and a whole bunch of other things. "
I just...I want to take the next step in our lives together. With you."
Even if it was just a piece of paper and they had already promised each other forever.
