The Craftsman 142 Proposal

That night Daedalus got no sleep, his mind wandered, thinking about all of the different possibilities. It was near maddening. So Daedalus spent the night staring at Andromeda's beautiful sleeping face.

Somewhere in the night he had fallen asleep as he was awakened by Andromeda slapping him. Daedalus got up and said "Huh, what was that for?"

Andromeda's eye twitched slightly as she glared at him before speaking "I have been trying to wake you up for ten minutes!"

Daedalus could only smile wryly. Andromeda sighed and said "Get up already, lazy!"

Andromeda started slapping him until he was dressed and stood at the door. She was laughing as she grabbed his arm and ran out the door to the dining hall.

Not long later everyone had sat down at the table and the servants brought out breakfast. Breakfast was simple, just eggs and pork with some beens. Daedalus and Andromeda talked to each other about the day that they where going on after lunch.

Daedalus of course posed it all as a normal date, that was because simply it was, except that he would propose during sunset. Andromeda and Daedalus talked about all of the different things they would do during the date. Specifically Daedalus talked about just relaxing at the lovers spring while Andromeda talked about visiting a bunch of different stores and restaurants.

After breakfast Daedalus spent most of the morning preparing. One thing he did in preparation was have a second s.p.a.ce ring that contained only the ring he planned to give Andromeda. Andromeda was also preparing however it was mostly spent on preparing her clothes and thinking about how fun it should be.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------

As it reached in to the afternoon Daedalus started to get b.u.t.terflies in his stomach. Andromeda looked excited and happy to be going on the date which made Daedalus happy.

For the most part everything went quite well, however as the time went by Daedalus got progressively more nervous. This nervousness made Andromeda curios and suspicious, however Daedalus managed to easily deflect the questions.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------

It was now late in the afternoon and Daedalus and Andromeda where relaxing in the lovers spring. Daedalus specifically was calming himself down in preparation of his soon to be proposal. Andromeda of course could just about feel his tension, however she didn't say anything and let him relax.

The sun was finally setting. It was time. Daedalus looked to Andromeda bad said "Let's go to the top of that hill to watch the sun set."

Andromeda nodded and Daedalus grabbed her hand before flying up to the top of the hill. Daedalus quickly set up a little seating area on top of a blanket. He and Andromeda sat and watched as the sun slowly set.

As the sun was about to disappear from view Daedalus looked towards Andromeda and took a knee. Andromeda looked at him and was shocked silly when he revealed an intricately carved ring. Daedalus then looked at her face and said "Will you marry me?"
