Network video post; locked from Inesa

[This is still a strange method of communication to him, but he's getting used to it. And he can't deny how convenient it is to be able to speak to everyone at once. Especially when it comes to getting an answer to his question.]

This might sound like a strange question. How do betrothals work where you are from?

[ Huh... Now there’s an interesting post getting the detective’s attention. He might have let it slip by his attention altogether, given hadn’t really been himself of late, but he noticed it filtered. Is Jon considering proposing to Inesa? ]

I believe the answer varies depending on the culture... Or even the person. Though, I presume- or hope- you mean, more specifically, how would be a good way to ask Inesa? [ Llewellyn hadn’t been the one to propose, and wouldn’t have even thought to propose back then if Rhy hadn’t brought it up. ] I’ve known some who organize a nice dinner or outing for their partner and prepare a ring to offer with the proposal.

[ And pulling from his own experience was a little different, since he had technically been on the other side of things. ]

Rhy and I were celebrating New Year’s Eve when he asked me after a few drinks and light conversation.

[king_inthenorth]

A ring? [He stores that information away as part of his potential future plans.] She would like that.

In Westeros it's a transaction. I wanted it to be more personal than that, but that was all I knew about it.

[ Llewellyn offered a smile, ] I believe she would, and I believe there are some nice shops in the market where you could look.

[ A transaction… oof. At least Jon had the chance to propose marriage for love instead. ]

More personal is definitely the best way to propose… And in a place like this you have a nice opportunity too. [ These worlds did at least give them the chance to pursue such desires. ] Is there something you both enjoy sharing perhaps that might present you with a good moment to ask?

[king_inthenorth]

I've been in some of the shops before. I'll visit them again.

[He hadn't even expected to be married in Westeros, even if Sansa thinks that Ned would have arranged something for him. But here he can make sure it's everything he wants it to be.]

In the Sphere, we both enjoyed the outdoor domes. We had our best moments there. Is there a place like that here?

[gadaboutdetective]

I’ll wish you luck, then. I’m sure you’ll find something she’ll like.

[ The question gets a thoughtful hum. There were quite a few lovely places where one could ask. ]

The park is quite nice, especially at this time of year. It’s a bit like the recreational dome, except it’s more… full of life? [ It was inhabited by actual animals, and the ducks had entertained him and Rhy quite a bit. ] It’s got varied spaces from wide open, a lake and some more wooded areas as well… Then there’s the forest, as long as one doesn’t wander too far in, of course.

[ Enchanted to get people turned around when they went too far in, perhaps not a good place for a romantic walk. ]

ugh I need to be better about replying

[king_inthenorth]

I'll take a look at the park. Perhaps the forest too, but not too far in. [Maybe he can find something that will work like a heart tree. He'd had one in the dome, but hasn't found one here yet.]

[gadaboutdetective]

I’m sure she’ll appreciate the thought you put into your selection. Both have mm… lovely potential for a proposal, I think.

[king_inthenorth]

Honestly, I think she'll appreciate it no matter what I do. I just want it to be something special from what we usually do.
