A pair of strong arms lowered, scooping Samael up around the waist and easily slinging him over her shoulder.
"I will not let you leave again, Father..."
Barghest tightened her hold on the prey over her shoulder. Swallowing hard, she made a righteous declaration, while her pink tongue involuntarily licked behind Samael's ear, showing closeness toward one of her kind and leaving her mark.
No, no, this is far too disrespectful. I have to hold back!
Realizing she was getting a little too excited, the Fae Knight hurriedly shook her head, shoved aside the table and chairs, and strode solemnly into the bedroom... onto the large bed in it.
After Samael was gently set down and propped against the headboard, Barghest rummaged through the room before returning with two red-and-black jewelry boxes, which she opened before him.
Amid the smooth velvet lay a pair of exquisite wedding rings.
Barghest first put one on herself, then dropped to one knee with an excited expression.
"Fae Knight Gawain swears here that, in sickness and in health, in poverty and wealth, or for any other reason, I will love you, care for you, respect you, accept you, and remain forever faithful to you until the end of my life..."
After a brief pause, Barghest solemnly raised the other ring and its jewelry box high, looking expectantly at Samael on the bed.
"So, will you give me this chance, Father?"
Samael blinked. His lips moved as though he wanted to say something, but because of the medicine's effects, he ultimately could not make a sound.
Seeing this, Barghest was very considerate and simply streamlined the process.
"If you are willing, then please blink once."
At once, the proposed-to man on the bed struggled to open his eyes wide and meet the Fae Knight's gaze.
