[And after about ten minutes, the Blue Fish will get a Vanquish shuttle in their hanger! Clay takes the time to land, then steps out, already looking for Allen - Ah, there he is, waiting for him. Clay grins, gives a wave, and hurries on over to him.]
[And Clay returns that hug, getting to the side of the wheelchair and bending down to do so. After a long moment's embrace, Clay leans back enough to give Allen a quick kiss on the lips as another hello, then looks down at the box in his lap.]
[He'll lift the box from his lap and open the lid. Sure enough, it's just like the photo showed, except they probably look even nicer now that they aren't on a photo shot by a communicator]
There's chains with them, so you can wear them as a ring or a necklace.
Wow... [He kneels down, both to get a better look at the rings and to be more eye-level with Allen] They look really nice. Did she buy them, or make them herself?
[He crosses his arms and puts them on the arm of the wheelchair, then rests his chin on them while looking down at the rings]
I like them. They make good promise rings. [He can't help the blush that comes up, feeling a little flustered now. Now that he's right here with Allen and with the rings, it feels a lot more real than just texting about it.] So, uh... Ha. Wow. We're really doing this. [He sounds more awed and shy than anything]
Nooo no no. [He laughs a little while he says it though, moving one hand to rest lightly on Allen's knee] Not while you're still like this. ... Technically I'm down on a knee, so we got that part out of the way?
[Good because while his legs are getting better, he's pretty sure kneeling would still hurt some. Still, um, this was probably something they were supposed to make seem formal right? So he'll lift up the box and hold up to Clay]
[He blurts it out, probably out of nerves, with a fist clenched and everything. But realizing this is probably supposed to be formal, Clay widens his eyes before shaking his head, then starts over a bit sheepishly.]
[Okay that very enthusiastic outburst? Well between that sheer goofiness of it and his own nerves, it makes him crack up. Which the laughter causes enough of a shake to make him drop the ring box he was holding up]
[And that makes Clay crack up, letting out the loud and boisterous laugh that makes him fall back to his butt. It's a combination of some leftover nerves, Allen's laughter, and the fact that the ring box just fell to the freakin floor]
[You know, Clay's spent so long with Allen that he can decipher his accent flawlessly, but right now, while Allen's laughing like that? Man, is it hard to understand him!]
Wait - what?
[Still, he laughs, and he goes ahead and picks up the ring box anyway, seeing how he was about to do it before he started laughing like that.]

So...Clay, will you...um, keep dating me?
Action; 9/25
[He blurts it out, probably out of nerves, with a fist clenched and everything. But realizing this is probably supposed to be formal, Clay widens his eyes before shaking his head, then starts over a bit sheepishly.]
I mean, uh... yes. Til the end.

- Oh crap.

[And that makes Clay crack up, letting out the loud and boisterous laugh that makes him fall back to his butt. It's a combination of some leftover nerves, Allen's laughter, and the fact that the ring box just fell to the freakin floor]
Hahaha! I-It's fine! We're fine - Haha!
Action; 9/25
Oy- could you pick them up while you're down there?! It's hard to reach-!
Action; 9/25
Wait - what?
[Still, he laughs, and he goes ahead and picks up the ring box anyway, seeing how he was about to do it before he started laughing like that.]
H-Here, take it!
Action; 9/25
Hey now, I already asked! It's your turn, isn't it?
Action; 9/25
[Some giggles of his own escape as he opens the ring box, then holds it up for Allen]
Will you keep dating me?
Action; 9/25
[Okay, time to calm down. He tries to stop the giggles and clears his throat]
Yes, of course! Until the end.
Action; 9/25
[He exclaims it again, this time just out of his usual enthusiasm. Afterwards, he puts both hands on the box, keeping it close to Allen]
You get first choice! Choose whichever one you want and I'll take the other.
