HonoRaven She rested her hands on his chest looking into his eyes as he reminded her of his vow. Raven nodded her head slowly... he had vowed, and she had taken his vow in return, that put her in an obligation to help him as much as she could. " So what is the plan? Besides me kicking Hela's a** if she gets anywhere near you..." She put her hands on his cheeks in return, stroking the stubble with a wan smile. He closed his eyes and lent his head into her hands, the feeling of her soft fingers on his hot skin cool and refreshing. He smiled as she spoke, chuckling a little as he spoke. "...Well, at least thats covered...."He opened his eyes and looked deep into hers as he told her the absolute truth. "...Quite frankly....i have no idea. Healing magic doesn't work...it seems to make it worse...." He cupped her cheek in his hand and looked into her eyes pointedly. "...And dont feel bad about that, all you have done is tried to help me...."

She wasn't going to lose him, she refused to let him go... and so it was that the next step seemed simple and quite obvious....If they wanted to be laughing at all of this in a few years all they had to do was stick together and start laughing now...
"I love you Johnathan Tomorrow."
"Will you marry me?"

John looked at her with an expression that was priceless.His eyes wide, his mouth slightly agape. His hand stayed upon her cheek, feeling her soft skin under his fingertips.
"...Yes."
It came out almost instinctively, after a long moment of silence, as if it was what he wanted his entire life...before he shook his head, smiling at her sadly as he stroked her cheek gently. "...Wait...Hono'o...if i wasn't in this situation, would you have asked me that?"
He looked deep into her eyes, searching them for something...

She nodded very slowly, her chin going down and then up only once.
"I have wanted this for a while now, just didn't have the courage to bring it up... so, since I wanted something happy to think about, this seems like the perfect moment to bring it up!" 4laugh Her heart was soaring, and despite his worries Raven felt as light as a feather.

He smiled a broad, happy smile, running his thumb over her chin tenderly as he felt himself melt at the look in her eyes. "Hono'o..." He said softly. He wanted to tell her not to get her hopes up...this type of condition he had...they would enjoy themselves for a while, six months, maybe a year...but slowly, he would become slower, he would not be able to do the things he could now - no more strength, no more danger, no more love...eventually she would have to tend on him hand and foot...feed him, bathe him, change his clothes...until, one day, he would die...most likely in her arms... Tears welled up in his eyes. He couldn't put her through that... "...Hono'o...I want to do this with you...more then anything in the world...but...if we can't fix me...I don't want to put you through it...what I'd become..."

His words slowly penetrated the happy hase and orange eyes narrowed dangerously as she understood what he was babbling on about. A small tick appeared under her left eye as she held his chin and forced him to look at her.
"You aren't going to become that thing, you already promised you wouldn't leave me... so stop trying to feel sorry for yourself and understand what I am saying. I want to be your wife... despite the lack of household skills, I am still a very good partner. We are going to fix you, and you are going to marry me... even if I have to have Max drag you to the alter and hold you there for me!" 3nodding That last threat issued she smiled again and gave him a moment to contemplate how very close to danger he was at the moment... she was sitting on him after all wink

What else could he do? He was getting everything he wanted...her. Everything was for her. He reached over and rubbed her frown out with his thumb, smiling warmly down to her. "Hono'o, I think you will make an excellent wife for me, irregardless of your household skills! You're loving, caring, and an excellent partner...if i died right this second, i'd be the happiest i've ever been, because i know that you want to spend the rest of your life with me..."He grabbed her shoulder and held her close, wrapping his arm around her towel-clad form. "...I'm never letting you go."

"Oh goody! I like getting my way." 4laugh She wrapped her arms around him and snuggled in against his big body.
"And once we get past this little hurdle with your health I will be more than willing to renegotiate that matter of a baby that I previously said was not on my list of things to do." She whispered in his ear with a coy little smile. Well... once the matter of the trip to Maximos's home world was all settled, but that last bit could wait... if they had forever then there was no rush!

John laughed at that, holding her nice and close to him as she snuggled into him, her breath tickled his ear...the good thing was, she usually got her way one way or another, so that was good news for his health... Then she whispered something into his ear that made his heart beat faster and his eyes widen to almost saucers, and he pulled her away from him to look into her eyes, almost as if disbelieving her. "...R-really?..." He whispered hoarsely, his eyes still shiny with tears but now beginning to flow for an entirely different reason...

Tomorrow Then she whispered something into his ear that made his heart beat faster and his eyes widen to almost saucers, and he pulled her away from him to look into her eyes, almost as if disbelieving her. "...R-really?..." He whispered hoarsely, his eyes still shiny with tears but now beginning to flow for an entirely different reason... " Absolutely!" And she meant it... besides the, prep for that sort of thing was seriously enjoyable xp ... and then there was the shopping heart " So, when do you want to go home?" She wanted to get the hell out of here before Verandi came back, and they had a mission with no clue where to start, so sticking around the hospital would likely get them no place fast sweatdrop

"Right now."
John hugged her tightly to him for a moment, holding her close to his chest as he pressed his cheek to hers. There was fire in his soul again, a reason for being - not just for her, not just for them, but for their future. Here was his second chance, right in front of him, and he would not let it slip through his fingers once more! "By all the gods in Asgard, I love you Hono'o..." He whispered into her ear, before giving her cheek a big kiss and eased her off his lap, pausing for a moment to admire her in the towel - mmm - before throwing off the sheets and racing to the bathroom.
First things first - toilet and shower. He hadn't had a decent shower in days, and he was desperate for one. "Could you please hunt down my arm, honey? I seem to have lost it..." He called from within the bathroom as the sound of running water began to sound....and not from the shower xp

Rae chuckled softly and pulled the big metal arm out of the little cupboard that hospital considered a closest before pulling clothing out of her claudical space for herself and John... if he was going to shower then he also deserved clean clothes to head home in as well.
The future was still dark and mysterious, but she was going to get what she wanted.. even if she had to break all the rules to do so!

HonoRaven Rae chuckled softly and pulled the big metal arm out of the little cupboard that hospital considered a closest before pulling clothing out of her claudical space for herself and John... if he was going to shower then he also deserved clean clothes to head home in as well. The future was still dark and mysterious, but she was going to get what she wanted.. even if she had to break all the rules to do so! He showered quickly, washing his greasy hair with the cheap hospital soap, before toweling himself dry with efficiency that only a one-armed man could possess. He looked at himself in the mirror momentarily, seeing the thick stubble that had grown over his face - and decided to leave it. There were no razors here strong enough for his hair, and besides, it was growing on him... heh.Leaving the bathroom he held his hand out in joy as Hono'o stood there holding his arm and some clean clothes for him. "Brillant as usual!" He said with aplomb, taking up the arm and connecting it to the shoulder plate with a 'k-chik!' before grasping Hono'o by her shoulders with both hands and, lifting her off the ground so her feet dangled, kissed her passionately, before placing her back on the ground, taking his clothes off her. "So...my brain is the trouble." He said, trying to be clinical about it as he pulled on his underpants and jeans, zipping the pants up before looping the thick belt around his thick waist, his scarred chest still steaming slightly from the heat of the shower. "So, we need to figure out a way to....change my brain. Or maybe, make it....new....whilst keeping all my memories."He paused at the notion, before shaking his head and pulling on his t-shirt, a black number with the picture of a bloody battleaxe on the front. He pulled his hair loose and shook it free, still clumped from the water, before looking down to her as he sat on the bed, pulling on his socks and boots. "...Thoughts?"

She sat in the lone chair again, one leg crossed over the other, her knee high boot bouncing ever so slightly as she tapped one finger against her cheek. "I actually thought the problem was your healing, and the damage it has done to your brain." She was dressed in a cherry red halter top and a very short black skirt, her long hair left lose to dry, and her inky black tattoos visible just around her wrists and biceps like delicate jewelry. "After all, it is the accelerated healing that is causing the scaring."

John nodded a little. "Aye, but there is not much we could do to change that....that would be like changing the color of my skin, or the way i smell - its a part of me, just as my brain is a part of me..."
He sighed a little as he laced his boots. This was so irritating. He wished he could just punch something. That usually solved most of his problems. "This is the damn problem....all that scarring. If we could get rid of it....clean them out and make the tissue fresh instead of just useless tissue..."
