Pretzel let out a sad little whine at that. No. That was not a fun word, in the pup’s opinion. But he listened, at least until he was free to dart into the hall ahead of them.

Llewellyn shook his head a little at their fluff-butt and his excitement. He closed the door behind them and took Rhy’s free arm in his. “That does sound rather sensible, my love.” He could do this, right? Get his thoughts out in a way that made sense… And hopefully didn’t sound too silly. “I wanted to bring something up a short while ago, but… Well, one thought leads to another and then another… I suppose I got a little lost in reflecting on various things.”

The man seemed to relax a little once they were outside, and they started walking (Pretzel towing them along) down the cobblestone road. “I’ve… Been considering how things have been going well lately, er- mostly.” The investigation with plants and forest dwellers keeping him busy aside. “And I can’t help but think that perhaps it might be time to consider… moving forward?” He hummed, glancing at Rhy thoughtfully. His free hand raised slightly, gesturing as he tried to get it all out. “Together, I mean.” The man added awkwardly, as though that might not have been obvious.
