(follows him)

Meanwhile in the bathhouse

So, what made you change your mind?{As he walks into the waters, you behing him, both your bodies exposed}

Maybe I wanna be here instead.

Alright, I'll bite, and why is that?

....(blushes)...I don't know...

Well {he gets closer to you, pulling you into his arms} Your plans working so far, whatever it is. You got me alone here. Better think of something.

Why...Why did you do so much for me? The pastries, the gifts, etcetera....

Because I love you, I care about you, and you're special, you deserve to be treated as such.

...Do you love me? You have three wives already...

I do, do you not feel the same way?

I do..

Well then, Something else must be bothering you. What is it? What's wrong?

I don't want you to think I'm judging or trying to be rude, but....how does one handle three wives? Don't they get jealous?

If you want, you can speak to the others. I don't forbid them from being honest. They will tell you. I devote time to them equally, love them equally, cherrish them equally, There are times when we're all together sure, and there can be a little jealousy when it comes to who goes first in some situations, like the dance earlier. But it's mostly playful. Nobody is more important than the other though. I'm always there for them all.

(laughs a little) Have you been trying to date me this whole time, then?

In a way, yes. I'm not going to lie to you. But I'm not the pushy type. I don't rush anyone. But I do push honestly. If that means bribing you with treats, or something, I'll do it. But only because I feel honestly is a very important trait. And sometimes, it can even heal when you're forced to confront things you might not otherwise share. Besides, can't fix what isn't spoken.

Then....could we be together then?....

Oh, well, isn't this a suprise. Are you asking me..... to marry you?...

Just shut up and say yes, love

Well I dunno, no ring or anything...

Going once.....Going Twice....

Yes.... yes... gods.....

I'll make you one. I am an artificer

Oh you're on....

You're challenging me?

No, it wouldn't be a challenge. I'd win. But I am interested in what you come up with.

Probably nothing magical. You're a god already. But definitely pretty and meaningful

Hey, {he turns you around to face him} if it comes from you, it's already magical. Never doubt that.

(blushes) You're just saying that, aren't you?

No, of course not. What did I say about honesty?

Well what you said is more of an opinion, not really a fact

But it is my honest opinion. If it comes from you, to me it's magical. Is it magical in a power sense, probably not, unless you imbue it. But from a sentimental perspective, it's absolutely magical..

...Will she even accept it?!? It's not too late to back out, right?!?!?

I'm not forcing anyone to do anything, But you did already ask me...And I did say you can talk to them first.

I...I guess..

Girls. Rilith here would like some alone time with you to talk. When you're ready, speak my name..

Araavos dissapears

What is it honey?

I want to marry Araavos

Did he ask you? Honestly I was beginning to wonder if he was going to get around to taking you out

I'm fine with this. Nazmir?

It's fine. I don't mind.

No, I asked him.

Araavos is very selective. You asked him? What did he say?

He said yes

So you wanna marry my husband? Are you sure?

Yes.

I mean, you usually date weirdos...

Oh Gods, Nazmir, it was one guy!

Wouldn't it be two? I mean Gale's a bit of a werido too..

Gale's sweet, but we're better off as close friends...

Axel you've been awefully quiet over there. You okay?

I'm fine. I already said I don't mind including a fourth. Besides, I'm friends with Nazmir and Rilith. At least it's not a stranger moving in.

You girls ready then?

Yep!

Yes

Mhm!

Araavos

Yes ladies?

She can join the fun.

Rilith can join the harem

She was worried about how you'd feel Nazmir. I told her to talk to you...

She's my friend, just like Nazmir. Of course I'm okay with it.

I can share with my sister

Araavos presents you with a ring, crafted in the heart of a black hole, the band forged like the celestial rings around a planet. At the center, a diamond forged from the heart of a dying star. The very cosmos it'self woven into it's band. It glows and sparkles like the night sky it'self.

Then accept this ring, and I'll be yours forever.

(puts the ring on and stares at it)....Well now you're outshining me...Mine will look like a cheap peasant ring compared to yours when I make it....

It's not about that. It's the meaning. You'rs is a representation of yourself. All the things you love. That's why it appears so impressive. If I were to give that ring to anyone else, they would not look at it the way you're looking at it now, Nor would you look at Axel's the same way you look at yours. Just as she wouldn't be as impressed with yours. I'm sure that whatever you come up with, will be amazing for me. Even if others can't see it..

Well...If you say so...

{He lifts your chin, looks softly into your eyes and kisses you gently} I know so....

(blushes and returns the kiss) I'll try my best to make something special...

You will. Just trust yourself.

(leaves to go to her new alchemy lab)

Araavos opens the portal to his demiplane and retires for the evening. Shadowheart joins him.

I'll see the rest of you when you're ready, Goodnight Rilith, don't stay up to late... I love you.
