Accompanying you?

[ She doesn’t sound offended, just confused, until - ]

Do you need a guard, Ser Thor?

[thorndergod]

A guard?

[Now he's confused. Does she think him weak? But he pushes that back for now.]

No. I can handle any enemies that may show up, and deal with my brother should he attempt to kill me again.

[Moving on.]

I would like you to go with me, as a date.

[swordproof]

[ She’s baffled until he finishes, then she feels her mouth drop open. No words come for a little while and there’s a sudden warmth on her cheeks - Six is quite glad she’s alone.

She must look ridiculous. ]

Your date? [ Haltingly, nervous - ] You truly wish for - me?

[thorndergod]

Of course.

[He's surprised by her surprise.]

I would not ask otherwise. Is the request unwelcome?

[swordproof]

No. It is not unwelcome. Simply unexpected.

[ She wishes Adalia was here- ]

What should I wear?

[thorndergod]

...Clothing? [That's not a good answer. Thor rallies.] Something formal. I do not know the style of your homeland, but I will be in robes.

[It's promising that she's asking that, though. It's close to a yes.]

I could have one of the servants find something for you? Fifi is good at taking on various tasks. She can be relied upon.

[swordproof]

I am used to wearing my armour for formal occasions, but I do not think that would be appropriate for a wedding. Help would be... Welcomed. Thank you.

[ A breath, still nervous, but - ]

I would be glad to accompany you.

[thorndergod]

[It's a yes. He grins at the crystal for a solid couple of seconds before recalling himself.]

I would be glad as well. I shall send her? Where would she find you? If now is a good time. It does not have to be now; the wedding is still days off.

[He can't help but be a little nervous and a little less than eloquent. When was the last time he met an attractive female warrior mage? It certainly wasn't any time recently.]

[swordproof]

[ This is still so much, but Six does her best not to sound as overwhelmed as she feels. ]

I am in the Gallows, in. My rooms. I can meet her somewhere, I do not mind. Whenever she has the time.

[ Who else can she even ask? ]

[thorndergod]

I will send her over promptly.

[That, at least, he can be confident with. Sending elves places and assigning them tasks are second nature.]

[swordproof]

Please, tell her it is kind of her to do this.
