In a moment, Vincent was to his feet, his back to the robber crawling on the floor behind him. He kept his eyes on Hala the whole time as he stepped forward and grabbed her hand again, a hopeful look in his eyes.
"Just say yes, babe," he said, watching Hala's eyes follow the man on the floor. He grinned as he kicked out behind him, striking the man in the head and putting him unconscious again, "...please?"

Hala started laughing as Vincent managed to knock the man unconscious without even having to see where he was--she quickly brought her other hand to her mouth, trying to stifle the laughter and look at Vincent seriously.
"...You really are amazing, you know that, Mr. Loque?" she said, pulling the ring from Vincent and sliding it onto her finger herself, glancing up at him with a smile, "which is why it'd be crazy for me to not agree to become your wife."

Words could never describe just how insanely happy Vincent was knowing that he didn't royally screw up.
...Or perhaps Hala just fell in love with screw-ups. Great, Vincent felt like an idiot again now.
In either case, his heart lifted at the sound of her words. It was the thing that no man (who knew Vincent) thought was ever possible, but dammit it was happening. He was going to get married to the hottest girl in the world.
"That's alright, I wasn't going to take no for an answer this time no matter how many times you kicked me out," Vincent smiled as he took Hala in his arms and kissed her gently.

Hala giggled, kissing Vincent and then cupping his face in her hands and staring into his eyes. The only other thing that could have possibly made her happier right now was disposing of the KO'd men laying about the kitchen.
"That's okay because you know I'll eventually cave in. Your persistence is kind of a turn-on," she laughed.

"Good to know," Vincent joined in the laughter, "I'd love to see you all dolled up for a wedding though. I'll do whatever I have to to make it special for you. We'll wait and make sure your mom is there for it, your friend Eva could be your bridesmaid. We'll get it done in the city in the church where everyone can watch and point and say 'look at that beautiful woman, how'd an ugly ass like him manage to attract that?'"

"They'll say 'she must be blind if she likes a fella like that' but of course the other women will say 'she's not 'busty' enough for a man like that, no curves on her at all' you know," Hala giggled for a moment before her face fell. She took a deep sigh and put her hands on Vincent's shoulders as she continued, "...but Eva can't come. She won't be able to."

Vincent shook his head as he argued with her, "No no, if any women say anything like that it'll only be because you look way more beautiful than they ever could."
When she mentioned Eva though, he gave her an odd look. Raising his eyebrow he asked, "What do you mean? Is she out? I'll go find her for you, I'm sure you two are good friends and should be together for a big day like that, right?"

Hala looked away, shaking her head and biting her lower lip.
"No...she's...she's dead, Vincent," she answered, taking a deep breath again and fiddling with the ring on her finger now, "something about a week ago was when the news started going around. Something about her being shipwrecked..."
Hala closed her eyes. She'd done a lot of grieving when she first heard of it, but by now it was as if all of the tears had permanently left her body and she had none left for Eva. For her it was a good thing, but all that was left was an empty void in her that would have been a place in her heart for the other woman, her friend.

Vincent nodded slowly in response, not entirely sure what to say.
"Ah...I...I'm sorry."

"Don't worry about it," Hala answered softly, "...time will heal us all."

Vincent kept his face straight, watching Hala. She appeared to be fine, she sounded fine enough. It was in that case that he wasn't worried about Hala, though.
'Yeligar...do you know any of this? If so, how are YOU doing? If you knew...you didn't tell me all of that lovey dovey 'hold onto that special someone' jumbo because of it, did you?'
Sighing himself, Vincent simply nodded again and then took Hala's hand, squeezing it lightly.
"...We'll have a good life together. I'm sure of it," he spoke softly.

Hala smiled, then.
"Of course. That's what Eva would have wanted, I'm sure," she answered, squeezing Vincent's hand back. She then took him to sit down and make tea, awaiting Yeligar's eventual arrival so that Vincent would take his leave again.
((lol oh god Volk I did this so badly haha))

A few days later, Yeligar and his troops came up near Shimmering Lake, and made base in an open field. Yeligar sneaked out of the camp, and went to Hala's house. He knocked on the door, and waited.

After only a short wait the door opened and Hala stood in the doorway, her usual smile on her face and the glimmering of the ring she was wearing showed off in the light. "Yeligar, you're here. Vincent said he was waiting for you slowpokes. Do you have time to come in?"

"Yea, we are going to be here for a day or so." He said as he took off his boots walked in, "So, how is everything, Hala? Anything exciting happened recently?"
