Now, that was a phrase nobody usually wanted to hear when they asked someone to marry them. At the same time, even when Asuka didn't leap forward and say yes, Samantha wasn't heart-broken. She knew Asuka well enough to know that taking an emotional step like that was... well at least as big a thing for her as it was for the girl who fed on people through sex normally. They weren't normal people. Normal people got to just say yes, yes, a thousand times yes.

She was hyperventilating a little too before she opened her eyes and reached out for Asuka's hand. "Yes... of course you can," she whispered, finally managing to calm down a little. "Just so long as I can try and find a dwarf tomorrow to tell a story to, see if they still take that as payment." Because rings weren't really a pagan thing, but they were an 'everybody else' thing.
