That'd be a lovely location. Just don't do it in public-- like at a restaurant, I mean, the beach is perfectly fine. But those stupid public proposals are always an inevitable exercise in narcissism.

[HMM . . . Rosalind drums her fingers on the table, then adds:]

The next full moon is October 5th, then November 4th.

[She has a good reason for knowing that, actually, but--]

If you wanted to do it on the beach, that'd be lovely-- at night, when it's all lit up and it's just you and her.

I hadn't planned on doing it in public. Those sort of displays, while suited to some, aren't exactly how I envisioned it for either of us.

[In other words, sometimes they're eye-roll worthy. Sweet, but eye-roll worthy. Ardyn wanted something a little more elegant than that.

And while he'd like to do it under the cover of night, October's blasted fog is going to get in the way so he's going to end up doing it while the sun is setting, but-! Duly noted, regardless.]

Careful, Rosalind, your hopeless romanticism is showing.

[She pulls a little face at him.]

Don't mix us up. I'm trying to ensure you don't do this so terribly that I'm stuck with you single again.

[Nice try, but he's not believing it.]

They are the suggestions of a hopeless romantic, bar none. I don't think you can argue against that.

I'm not a hopeless romantic, for heaven's sake, stop staying it like the label will stick if you insist upon it.

[let her live??]

I simply enjoy things being done well.

[no]

And you consider one being done better than the other because…?

[BECAUSE IT’S MORE ROMANTIC?]

[>BC]

Drink your damn scotch, why don't you. You're as bad as Christopher.

[A pointed drink, then. Looking at her the entire time. You can't fool him.]

How so? Because we're both prone to being right?

Because you're both insufferable and smug, especially when it comes to romance.

Perhaps our romantic hearts are swollen with emotion and sensitivity, to make up for yours, which tries to hide its true nature.

[Insufferable and smug, got it in one.]

Perhaps it was a mistake to let Christopher be your assistant. I can't imagine you'll be any better when you're paired off.

It's not as if we're both intending to rally against you. You have no need to concern yourself there.
