And so Rabid's hands flew to her mouth and her eyes went wide and she said nothing. Not so much as a whimper. Oh my.

Gone pale from speaking the words, Julian waited for Rabid to respond, his heart jolted into panic that didn't show on his face.
Oh god. Oooooh gods. Faerhen have pity on me, I'm such an idiot I didn't do it right she must think I'm a total mooning idiot holy GODS.

The shock cleared after a little while, and Rabid nodded. That was it. Just nodded. She couldn't talk. Not yet. Instead she chose to kneel down, grab Julian by the back of the head, and kiss him. Hard.

A shock jolted through Julian at the non-verbal acceptance, and he kissed back with a world of relief and happiness. Well then. Maybe she didn't regard him as much of a mooning idiot as he'd thought.
Ethan let out a laugh at last, grinning fit to split his face at the scene of unspeakable fluff. It really was rather sweet.

Rabid was crying now and barely noticing she was doing it. She pulled back after a bit, sniffling and laughing and running a finger under her eye.
"Show me the rock, you crazy b*****d."
Björn shook his head, still smiling. He looked up to Ethan then (well, it wasn't very far up, actually), and tilted his head to one side.
"They make a cute couple."

Julian obliged, opening the little velvet box. A sizable diamond, though not large enough to look tacky, glittered in a white gold setting. It didn't seem like enough, and Julian tried to ignore a fresh wave of nervousness, wondering if she'd even vaguely like it.
"They do," Ethan said, nodding slightly. "It's rather charming, actually."

Rabid made no comment about the ring. After all, what did a ring matter? She plucked it from the box, shoved it on her own finger, and kissed Julian again. How sweet.
"It is. Speaking of, when are you and Emmy gonna get hitched, hm?"

__Part 47
Weeks had passed without event as summer went on. Normalcy, or as close a semblance to it as it could achieve, had become routine. Crow was suspicious of it, though only a shade of her once usual paranoia. She didn't mind the change in the slightest. Enjoying the sunlight markedly less covered than usual, she pushed her sunglasses up her nose and scratched absently at the string of her bikini top. Lenore had nearly pitched a fit when she'd seen the outfit, and Ethan had blushed so badly his face had looked burned.
"It's not like I'm going around naked," she murmured to herself, wetting her fingertip with her tongue and turning the page of her book.

It took Liam a moment to convince himself that it was Crow. Really, it did. When he had successfully overridden the logical part of his brain, he came barrelling down the grass and dropped to his knees, throwing his arms around Crow.
"IloveyouIloveyouIloveyouIloveyou."

"Oh!"
Jumping in surprise, fumbling with her book impossibly until it went soaring almost of its own accord a good five feet away, Crow laughed and wrapped her arms around Liam.
"Hello to you too," she said, pushing her askew sunglasses into her hair and blissfully unaware of what had caused such a reaction. "Jeez! Surprised me. Love you too."

"Sorry, sorry," Liam laughed, nuzzling Crow's shoulder, "I've just never seen you without the full body armor." He then pulled away a bit and stared down at his own, long, modest-beyond-belief Rebellion uniform.
"Granted, I really shouldn't be talking..."

Crow grinned slightly. So that's what it was.
"I got tired of bein' all covered up all the time," she said, drawing closer and settling her body comfortably against Liam. Running one hand up her bare, clean-skinned arm and trailing it onto Liam's shoulder, she toyed with his hair out of habit and smiled slightly. "And I like your uniform. Though...hmm. I might have to do the horribly womanly thing and drag you clothes shopping."

"Shut up," Liam said shortly, "I have clothes. I happen to be wearing clothes. Under this." He pulled away and un-buttoned his uniform up to the neck, letting it fall to the ground.
"See? I own pants."
A tattered, bloodstained, paint-splattered pair of jeans at the very least. But, hey, he was happy to show off his now-un-control-paneled chest, regardless of the appearance of his jutting ribcage.

"Then I stand corrected," Crow said easily, unperturbed. "Very art-studentish."
Pillowing her head against Liam's chest, Crow's smile grew lazy and she stretched, making herself perfectly comfortable.
"Though you might be mistaken for a crazy house-painter or summat," she added. "Just a precaution."

"Eh," Liam shrugged and reached down, rubbing Crow-skin for the bare fact that it was there.
"So. How 'bout them engaged losers?"
