Sabrion said to himself, rushing back to the Dagger this evening... He had a mission. Tucked under one arm was a Cedar box, for which he had snuck back into town, into his very shop to retrieve. He approached the Dagger, and found Sammariah standing outside. He invited her to take a walk in the forest, on a late night like this... it would be hard not to enjoy. Walking along with her, he led them out to their first "spot", a small clearing in the woods where they had had their first kiss, and their first "date". Sabrion set her against the boughs of a sturdy tree, in case she should meet the same fate as Sir Treadwell. He then took a pace back and turned to her.
"Samariah... We have known each other but for a short time... yet despite the time that we have been together... I feel as if there are volumes that we have learned.... And that given no time at all I have come to befriend you, to aid you, and now I have come to love you." his voice fell silent for a moment. "I have fought these past few days to keep you in my life... and to keep you safe from what harms might come to you..." He fell silent again. "I took great care in following through with this, even to the point of asking dear Mister Treadwell for his permission in this instance... I have but one more thing to ask... and only one person left to ask it..." Sabrion lowered down to one knee, bringing out the cedar box, "Samariah... Will you marry me?"
He brought out the box and exposed it's interior, filled with a cotton cloth and seated upon the cloth, encapsulated by the box, was a single gold ring, an emerald set into it's top, and silver filigree set into the stone in the shape of a leaf. Sabrion waited, his heart beating feverishly as he listened for the answer he came there to hear....
