a heart encased in ice

"Well, aren't you kind of like a princess in a way? You're m-my princess!" She wore the stupidest grin but stumbled as she forced out that super cheesy line anyways. Miorine was smiling though, so even if she felt a little silly it was all okay! Miorine having fun was more important!

"Mhm! It's like our first official debut as a couple at a formal event, right? That's kind of exciting!" Suletta stared at Miorine with awe on her face briefly when a hand was offered. It was like a scene out of an anime, but she was also just struck by how beautiful her partner was... even if she'd already told her like five times.

"It is, and while nobody else knows our history, debuts are quite important-" she nearly trips literally as she stumbles over her words, with Suletta getting on one knee. They were already engaged, but she felt her heart skip a few beats, the blood rush back to her face and up to her ears, and heard her voice start sputtering-

And then Suletta got up, and was back to her normal self. Well-trained, she followed Suletta onto the dance floor properly.

"Of course, you're more a knight than a prince, anyway." Particularly with how they met.

..."

@duelbride said: "We at GUND-Arm, Inc. seek to establish our foothold here to the city of Spirale. Please see our promotional advertisement as we focus on establishing our first official Spirale City branch." - Miorine Rembran, CEO."

"Oh, our first sponsor call-in, folks! Let's see what Miss Miorine has to show us! Mike? Hit that play button!"

".........."

...

"...LOVE the enthusiasm! And just LOOK AT THAT COOL ROBOT BACK THERE! SHE CAN SPIN! SHE CAN DANCE! I'm excited for what these folks have to bring to the city!"

...

All she'd had to do was wait for Miorine inside of the greenhouse, in front of where they were starting to grow tomatoes.

"Miss Miorine! Or, um... I guess just Miorine..." She'd been rehearsing this, and considering what she was about to do, she figured it'd be best to drop the formality. When Miorine drew close enough, Suletta suddenly dropped down onto one knee and produced a ring box. "I know we're already technically engaged, but because we have a chance, I thought..."

"I-I mean! Before I met you, I was lost... I blindly followed whatever my mother told me to do, and it was you that tried to help even if though I was blinded. It's because of you that I was able to fit in at Asticassia, that I was able to check off so many things on my list, and that I was able to fight for what I believed in. So, um..."

She popped open the ring box to reveal a silver ring with a crescent moon on it. "Will you marry me, Miss Miorine? Not because I'm the Holder, or because we're in a hurry, but because I love you, and I think this is the right time!"

"Oh-"

She felt her cheeks heat up, a convention she never expected happening in front of her. All her life had been dictated for her, even the way she would be engaged and ultimately wed. Swallowing, she responds,

"You gave me a choice, you know. One that was mine. One that went against my father and everything else. This," she gestures to Suletta and the ring with a shaky hand, not dismissively, but trying to explain, "-was off the table. Not an option at all. When I met you...At first I just saw a way out, a way to get back at my dad-"

She hiccups, trying to keep her composure.

☆ "Miss Miorine! It's cold! Let's hurry inside!" Suletta didn't even give her fiancée a choice, for the second they stepped out of the taxi in front of the venue, she scooped Miorine up into a bridal carry and ran inside. Since the two of them hadn't really had much of a chance to actually dance back when GUND-ARM INC was first established, Suletta had been very excited to attend an event where they could enjoy the atmosphere of a party like that properly.

Whether Miorine protested or not, Suletta still made the trip in heels before setting her down once they were through the front door.

"You did-"

"And that was before you decided I should be carried like a princess - I'm pretty sure I'm more adept in heels than you are!" Despite her protests, she can't help the smile on her face, which makes her glare into her compact as she freshens her make-up.

from experience she speaks but she isn't sure if that makes it better or worse. probably worse, given all that's gone on, but there's no point in throwing a fit or worrying about it.

the fate and stars in this place is one of the few things she can't command on a whim.

Sighing, she mimics her gesture, putting some coffee over the ice.

"Regarding the insanity in question..."
