John smiles then leans in closer to nym and points to the ring in the box "It's a promise ring love. I want to promise that my love it only for you. And that I will always try to be there for you…" John smiles slightly and looks over to nym
Nym looks at the ring with heightened senses, drowning out everything else. She speaks, but she can not even hear her words "It's beautiful John, I accept it. See, if I had know I would have got something too." She smiles widely as she continues to look at the ring slowly allowing her other senses to come to.
John leans in and gives nym a soft kiss and murmurs softly "You didn't need to bring anything but yourself. You are all I really need love." John then grabs the ring and gently puts it on one of nyms fingers "I love you more then anything nym"
Nym kisses John back and smiles "I love you to John."
John smiles slightly then looks off to the sea and sighs knowing he had not said all that he wanted. "Nym….I have come to a very important decision. And I want you to know that it has nothing to do with you and you had done nothing wrong my love. But I have decided to return to my home land for a short period of time to help with the war."
Nym's face grew solemn "Oh, a-alright." Nym looked down as she got herself some soup finally, maybe that would help her pull her thoughts together. She brought a spoon full of soup to lips and ate. She remained quite listening to the tide
John rubs the back of his neck and looks over at nym and sighs "I won't be leaving soon, I have three weeks until I have to go." John finally ate some of his food but found that he was not really hungry at the moment
"Mmmmm, alright. Um, can I make a request then?" Nym watches the waves roll fearing that if she were to look at John she might break
John nods returning his gaze back over towards the sea "Yes, anything you want love" John swallows hard feeling more nervous then before
"Keep me with you till you leave, excluding work of course. I don't want to prolong any extra time apart." Nym's voice broke and a tear fell, she quickly wiped it away and began eating her soup again.
John winced hearing nyms voice break he then moves closer to nym and murmurs softly "Don't cry love and I will make sure we have as much time together as possible my love." john then wraps an arm around nym pulling her into a side hug
Nym leans into John and whispers trying to keep her voice under control "Thank you my love."
John leans his head to the side and rests his head against hers and whispers "There is nothing I wouldn't do for you nym" John looks up at the sky then points up and asks softly "See that nym?
Nym looks in the direction John is pointing and focuses her eyes carefully so she can still hear faintly "Yea."
"Right around up in that area is where the portal separates our worlds" John turns his head and places a soft kiss onto nyms cheek "Would you object to me taking you with me?"
"Huh?" Nym's voice broke in confusion as her brow knitted together "What do you mean? Like, in the future or when you leave?"
"When I leave to go back home" John laughs softly at nyms confusion then his expression become serious
"Like, in the next three weeks?" Nym looks at him still confused trying to wrap her head around everything
John pauses then looks from the sky to nyms face "It's not important…I think I have quite overwhelmed you. How about we enjoy the sea for the moment being nym"
"Um, alright. I don't want you to think that I don't want to with you though. I do, I just am trying to understand. But maybe I do need to calm down a bit." Nym looked at her leg and noticed the bright glow emitting from it. She moved closer to John and leaned into him, she inhaled deeply and exhaled slowly. "Peaceful." She whispered
John nodded slightly as he listened then he smiled feeling content in the moment "Indeed….but the best thing at sea is watching the sun dip below the horizon" John clears his throat and murmurs softly "How are you feeling Nym?"
Nym smiled "Yea, that just sounds nice. I feel comfortable, content, happy, but greedy even still." Nym turned to face John and she reached up to kiss him softly.
