Nym laughs "They just want to be sure that you don't wish harm on the coven by asking my hand." Nym grew serious "Please, when we get in there keep your eyes down until spoken to." They arrived at the door and Nym stops. She inhales deeply as the doors open.
Guard 1: "Enter Tuir Mnymla and guest."
John nods then his expression grew serious as they stood in front of the large set of doors "Alright, so I just follow your lead?" John then swallows hard as the doors opened feeling slightly intimidated
Nym whispers "Don't bow." Nym lets go of John's hand and steps forward, she then bows "Elders, I have returned and with a guest." Nym spoke with gusto and confidence, then gestures at John waiting for him to walk forward
John makes a small face at nym letting go of his hand then he composes himself making sure to keep his eyes down as she told him. Upon seeing nym gesture to him out of the corner of his eye he steps forward
Elder 2: "Introduce yourself stranger."
John clears his throat and answers in a slightly booming voice of regal authority "Hello, I am Prince John Valious Adam"
Elder 3: "Prince?! You need not lower your eyes."
Elder 1: "Mnymla, please depart."
"Yes Elders." Nym bows at the Elders, then at John. Nym is escorted by the gaurds out of the hall
Elder 2: "Can you anwser why Tuir Mnymla brought you?"
John looks up upon instruction by the elder then he blinks feeling slightly lost when nym leaves the room "I was brought here to meet her family and to formally ask for her hand"
Elder 3: "Is that all?"
John ponders for a moment then he speaks up again "Yes, that is all that I was brought here for"
Elders: They talk quietly amongst themselves
Elder 2: "Is there a date?"
John frowns at the question feeling confused "I am unsure of what you mean…Do mean a wedding date after asking for her hand?"
Elder 2: "Yes."
John shuffles his feet slightly as he stood before the counsel then he answers "That is to be determined if Nym accepts my proposal and by how long I will be gone after I had left for Pylia my home world"
Elders: "Very well, Prince John Valious Adam you are given the blessing of the Elder council to wed Mnyla Oshca Tuir. You may depart." They all speak with a smile as the grand doors open revealing Nym stand and waiting for John
John turns and heads to the door to Nym unable to hide his smile upon hearing the elders give him their blessing. Once John got up to Nym he picks her up and spins her around while laughing
Nym giggles, then squeals "John!"
John then sets Nym down and he reaches up and tenderly caresses her face "I love you so much, and I was given the blessing of the counsel!"
Nym beams "And I love you John, and I knew they would."
John laughs then he leans in and gives nym a quick kiss "So now are we to dine with your parents?"
Nym kisses John and chuckles lightly "Yes, they stay a little ways past us." Nym points in that direction
John looks in the direction she pointed to then he nods feeling not only excited for the dinner, but also for what he had in store later on tonight for nym "Well let's go silly, I would like to speak to your mothers more…and maybe eat…Our little liaison earlier had worked up quite an appetite for me"
Nym giggles, grabs his hand and intwines their fingers "I warn they might bring out the photos, well Emma might. And um yea, I'm pretty hungry and I rarely see you eat so yes food is a great idea." She begins to walk
" I do so eat! Just not often is all…And what kind of photos would they show me?" John smiles as they walk feeling buoyant like the world was at his finger tips.
"I'm sure you do, but the fact you don't eat often is my point. And the photos would be of me… As a baby." Nym blushes
"I would absolutely love to see your baby pictures! I am so intrigued at how far earth had advanced in technology. In Pylia we have no such devices…..Just the amount of technology here is astounding" John smiles with a wistful look in his eyes
"Oh, Hun." Nym face palms
"What? Why the face palm? In Pylia the only thing there is to capture an image is a painting….and that is only if you are rich and of age." John frowns feeling confused by Nyms reaction "I don't know what I looked like as a baby…" John shrugs then lets the topic drop
"I know, but my baby pictures are gross and you're too excited. I could've guessed that, and I know what you looked like as a baby. So cute and chubby." Nym pinches his cheek and laughs
John makes a faces and swats playfully at Nyms hand "I am not too excited! I have something planned in mind for later and just being here and being generally accepted is humbling." John rubs his cheek and laughs then he reaches over and pokes nyms side
