Apartment Above Groovy Tunes, Thursday Night

"Squall!" Rinoa was in a mood today. Everything she kept saying was coming out wrong. She hadn't pieced together exactly what Fandom was doing, but it was making her cranky. Plus it was cold out, which was hardly his fault but it was certainly aggravating her mood.

"Where are you?" she asked, setting down the bags of shopping she'd brought in with her. "I'm in an awful mood, and I want to pick a fight with you!"

Dammit. Fandom was making her talk like a crazy person.

Squall nodded. He was bad at this.

"I didn't realize you were upset by this," he said. "And now I'm not sure how best to fix it. I don't want you to think I'm only proposing because you asked me to, so I need to wait. But if I wait too long, you'll think I've forgotten. I don't know what the optimal length of time is."

One thing was certain -- he was going to start ring shopping tomorrow.

"From your last statement, it sounds as though you are hoping I will pull out a calendar and select an optimal date for you," Rinoa said. "I am going to refuse to do that, and instead have histrionics based on the supposition that you are refusing to do any work towards this engagement. I would be tempted to imply that you must not be terribly inclined towards our marriage, if you cannot put such effort in, but we both know that would be untrue, so I cannot."

"That's unusually clear and straightforward of you to say," Squall observed. "It makes it easier for me to understand. I am, of course, going to put effort in. Now that I know you want me to propose to you, I'm going to make sure that I do it in the most romantic way possible."

...He'd have to read up on the subject.
