(( A pale face appears on the screen with notably pointed ears and markings that may seem strange to some on her face. If one looks at them just right, they seem to resemble the form of an owl. She probably isn't familiar to many as she has only made use of the network shortly after her arrival a handful of months ago. ))

To those who are parted from a spouse, do you find more comfort in holding out hope of their arrival in this place or accepting the loss and grieving for it?

Not my leader, specifically. He led an army that was forming. Before that, he had also been a leader among the Templars.

(( She tilts her head, looking off in thought. ))

I'm not sure when exactly. It was all a very subtle growing bond between us.

[song_princess]

Templars? I fear I never heard of that term, my lady.

[And here, she smiles as the other looks off in thought. This, this was something that was never meant for her even though she enjoys seeing it in others. If the smile on her face was any indicator.]

So it just happened before you knew it? What things did your mate do to help grow your bond?

[Tell her everything.]

[atheva]

Where I come from, Templars are a special order of warriors trained to watch over mages and combat their magics should they fall prey to demonic possession.

(( Her expression turns fond as she thinks back. ))

He was understanding of the position I was in. Before I became the leader of our group, I was looked at as a criminal. He treated me with dignity and respect in spite of that and in spite of my being an elven mage. I was suspected of murdering the head of the humans' religion. But Cullen never once treated me with suspicion. In addition to being one of my military advisors, he also grew to be someone I could simply talk to about life and the dangers we faced.

Is magic something to be feared where you are from? Demonic possession?

[That sounded bad but, why would demons possess people?

Those questions and others fade from her mind as she listens to her, smiling.]

He... He sounds like such a wonderful Beorc. My kind's more respectful term for his race. He sounds like a wonderful male and I can only pray that I may be blessed to meet him one day.

[And also so she can ship the both of you!]

How did he propose to you?

[atheva]

(( Atheva chuckles at the memory, her smile growing. ))

He simply blurted out 'marry me.' Things were potentially about to change for the Inquisition and he said he'd found certainty with it, with me.

[song_princess]

[Leanne couldn't help but to beam a little and giggles.]

The Inquisition?

[She then shakes her head.]

How cute. You were a source of certainty with him if he just blurted out his proposal.
