Sea Lion Shores don't ask me why

Okay, He says simply, and she thinks good. Now it's time for him to ask his own question, which he does so- and she gazes back at the sea, taking a moment to think. What did she expect? All she had ever had were little flings, temporary lovers- and her parents relationship was certainly no example to take after. It took a long minute of thought. 

She turns her seaglass vision back towards him- her fiance- before speaking up. As my husband, you protect me, protect the children. Protect the island, when possible. You teach them whatever thing I cannot, bring new perspective. A pause, a glance into the future- Later, next year, maybe you make me a mother again. She looks him up and down- what kind of children could they produce? He was certainly large and powerful, and would bring her the best sons- she could only hope her daughters would take her more effeminate genes. As for his eyes, they were a perfect cool green, and his coat, a grey that lacked interest, would fit right in with the Jiangs, whose palettes were not especially eye-catching.

She makes eye contact again. And, in time, we learn to, uh, love eachother. That was possible, right? She had not felt love for a man before- but there was a first time for everything, perhaps. Perhaps she would fall head over heels for him. Oh! And- the marriage. you want to hear about the marriage? Because that was one of the most exciting parts of all, the adorable ceremony she'd dreamed of since she was little.
