Once the rope was secured on and Sygnet began pulling the basket up, Micha climbed on the ladder and followed it up to the flet. Once at the top he looked up at the sun, it was going down but there were still about thirty minutes befpre it slipped below the horizon.

"Why don't we wait till sunset to eat?" He suggested. "It will only be thirty minutes or so and it will offer a beautiful view."

Sygnet nodded over at him and pulled from her bag a square of parchment and a quill and ink. She sat dow on the Flet and lay down the parchment, "This is my plan for the Flet," she began.

She first drew a large circle, "This is the whole Flet, about 40 feet across. The front door will open to the den and the kitchen will be right here, and will be attached to the living room. The other half will be the bedroom and bathroom and we will build a small porch out on that tree limb over there," she pointed to the limb, "And from the porch, we could potentially attach a rope bridge to the tree right there if we need more room," she explained.

Micha took a seat beside her and looked at her drawings. He was a simple man and had few preferances in these things. Mostly he just wanted her to be completely hapy with the layout.

"Looks like a well thought oit plan," he told her. "Perhaps we could have a small wood stove on the portch for cook outs. That way we wouldn't be heating the house when it's warm out," he suggested.

He looked over the plans, he never thought he would be excited about something like this... Or even doing something like this! He was very happy, however.

"Are we building a ramp walk around the tree trunk or leaving it as a ladder?" He wondered aloud.

Sygnet looked over her drawing again, "We can keep the ladder for now but if we're looking for a new project, then we Can build the ramp," she suggested. She didn't want to make it too complicated but a ramp would be better than a ladder for hauling up piles of wood and supplies.

"Sounds like a plan," Micha said. He sat there and gazed at the drawings for a while, almost lost in a daze. Then he smiled and stood to his feet.

"Well," he said. "Should I start setting things out?" He asked Sygnet.

Sygnet looked over her drawings and set them aside, laying the inkwell on top of the parchment to keep it from blowing away. After making sure the stopper was on tight, she stood up, "I'll help," she picked up the blanket they had brought along and began to unroll and lay it out.

Micha handed her a few of the dishes to set down and he placed a few out himself. He set the drinks out. "I... didn't really know what this was," he admitted, showing her the flavored drink he brought. "I just asked the elf at the market for a drink for a special occasion. I hope this works."

He handed it to Sygnet to let her look at it while he set the last few dishes out for them to use in their meal. He also set the water out and a couple cups and a small container of coffee.

Sygnet took the bottle eagerly and inspected it closely, "We call it mirilya eleni but the literal meaning is 'glitter Stars'" she explained, then went on, "it is a bubbly drink, mostly clear but tastes so wonderful. We use it on very special occasions," she laughed, "The last time I had this was for my, 5000th birthday, so it has been quite awhile," she laughed jovially, "How times change. I wonder if they began to make it differently," she thought to herself. Eventually, she put down the bottle and help Micha finish setting up the picnic, "It looks delicious, thank you," she beamed at him.

(I totally went and looked up some elvish words, haha!)

"Ah, well good," Micha said, satisfied with how the choice turned out. "I'm glad it's ansuitable choice." He beamed right back tonher at this point.

"Your welcome," he said in a heartfelt tone. Since they had finished setting stuff out and they then sat down. Micha looked at the setting sun. It slipped below the horizon as he served Sygnet her plate. It would be perfect, Micha thought.

He served him his own plate next and then poured the drink, offering Sygnet a glass and filling one of his own. He then began to eat, slowly.



EDIT: (I always seem to get caught up in my post and forget to reply to your OOC comments! Sorry, don't mean to! Lol But yeah, Inwould have had to look up a word too! Lol But Infogured she isnthe elf so I'd let her hash out what it was. )

Sygnet tucked into her food, savoring each bite. It was the most delicious thing she had since she lived in an actual house. Sygnet took the glass he offered and then sipped it. The flavor was exactly as she remembered it, bubbly and sweet with a slight tang in the after taste.

She looked up at the sky, watching as more and more stars came out. It would be a beautiful night. As far as she could see, no clouds could be seen. The moon was full and filled the whole forest with moonlight so bright she could actually see. She looked over at Micha and her heart seemed to swell with love and joy.

Micha started eating, but only after Sygnet did. He looked up at her as looked his direction and his smile came back. Not that it had really ever left... Just relaxed some. They ate their food and enjoyed the meal as the light of the moon shone down. It came out fast and hard, it was a very bright night.

After Micha had finished and he was sure that Sygnet had also finished he looked over to her. "I have one last thing for you to try." He grabbed a small plate, no bigger than his palm, that had a fancy silver lid on it. It looked like a dessert plate of some kind. What Sygnet did not know, yet, was there was no dessert on the plate.

Micha got up and walked over to Sygnet sitting beside her. "You will have to tell me what you think." He set the small plate down infront of her.

When she opened it she would find a ring, perfectly fitted to ber finger. The band was a brilliant silver with ivey wrapping around it. The ivey was an orange/ red color that matched perfectly the color of Sygnet's hair. The ivey wrapped around the band with alternating leaves all the way. One on the right, then one on the left, then one on the right, then one on the left. At each leaf was a small stone cut in the shape of a flower. The stone was a brilliant blue. A perfect match for the color of Sygnet's eyes.

At the top of the ring there was a diamond, slightly raised. Around it was a solid ring of small diamond chips, all slightly less raised and set lower than the main stone and none of the stones touched eachother.

Sygnet would also discover, when she opened the dessert tray and picked up the ring, that there were moon letters engraved in the diamonds and that they were specially arranged so when the ring set in the light of the full moon words would shine out from the ring in a circle on the floor around it.

The words read, "To Sygnet, the love of my life. From Micha, a man blessed with your love."

(*fangirl squealing* I knew it! Oh my gosh that's so sweet and cute!)

Sygnet looked over at him and smirks as he handed her the plate. As she opened the lid, she gasped lightly. A smile stretched across her face as she looked up at him, back to the ring and then carefully picked it up and then looked at him. She was in shock. A deep and intense shock and it took several deep breaths before she finally spoke, "Are you...asking me...to..." She trailed off, the ring held in her open palm.

( lol Well, he had to one of these days... Just disn't seem like the right setting while they were on the run. This way it's where they will build their home and has special memories attached. )


Micha smiled, not just his typical smile but the biggest smile Sygnet had lrobably ever seen on his face. He slowly reached out and picked up the ring from the palm of her hand, gently taking her hand in his free hand. He took to one knee and looked deep into her eyes as his heart races a million miles an hour.

"I've been on adventures all over middle earth," he started. "But you, Sygnet, are the greatest adventure of them all. There is nothing that I want as deeply as to continue that adventure with you as my wife. Will you marry me?" He held the ring in one hand and Sygnet's hand in his other hand, poised to place the ring on her finger if and when she said that one magic word.

Sygnet's eyes filled with tears of pure joy and happiness. Like two little stars blossoming in her eyes, "Yes, I do," she laughed and then sniffed. As he slipped the ring onto her finger. She threw her arms around his neck, effectively knocking him over. She laugh and cried and hugged him all at the same time.

As Micha heard her answer, even though he had expected it, his heart seemed tonskip a beat. He slipped the ring on her finger and the next thing he knew she threw her arms aeound him and knocked him backto the floornofnthe flet. He laughed a little and hugged her tight. Thisnwas a moment he would cherrish forever. After a long hug he loosened his grip just enough to lean away from her as she lay besode him on the floor ofnthe flet. He looked intonher eyes, beinging a hand up to wipe away her stray tears. It was was wonderful... He had seen tears in those beautiful eyes before but these tears... They were special. They were good and pleasent.

"I promise," he said, his voice almost a whisper. "I will cherrish you forever." He rubbed a finger along her cheeck and kissed her gently on the forehead, then leaned in to kiss her lips.

Sygnet laughed softly and lay beside him, "I love you," she grinned and then kissed him back softly. She loved him and in that moment, she was the happiest she could ever be. They would build a house and a life together and get married and be together until they died, because death was the only thing that would keep him from her.
