Part 108: S Conversation

Maribelle, about what you said before... You're certain that is the life you desire?

I never back down once I've set my mind on something.

That's impressively stubborn.

Yes, and utterly uncharming. I'm well aware.

That stubborn lack of charm is just another part of your considerable charm.

My, my. You've a gift for flattery.

I assure you, I'm entirely sincere.

Libra...?

Oh, Maribelle... Will you marry me?

You can't talk me out of my mad crusade, so you'd keep me locked up at home?!

Perish the thought! I wish to fight your crusade with you.

If that's a jest, I'm not laughing. And if it isn't, I'm laughing even less!

More's the pity, as your laugh is music to my ears! But if it's any aid in convincing you of my sincerity, I procured this.

That ring... It's beautiful.

Will you do me the honor of accepting it?

.....This marks a second time your words have changed the course of my life.

A change for the better, one hopes?

No doubt. If you would promise yourself to me, I would be thrilled to do the same.

I am yours until my last breath.
