They lay alone in the woods together. A flask of ginger ale sitting next to the radio upon which they were listening to the Rockies game. Moira'd long since learned enough to be quite vehement in her baseball fandom and was cheerfully excited at the impending victory.

	Lucas always appreciates when they win. It happens rarely enough to make the victories that much better, in those times they're able to get the games. Neither of them has a lot to do with most modern technology - but he's glad she's gotten into baseball enough to bring the radio along on a number of their simple dates. (Reply to this)(Thread)

	"How did that happen, that 'tis all right to tag one of the regular bases, but home plate isn'?" she asks him quietly during a lull point. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Collisions also aren't ok anywhere else. They decided to make the whole 'home plate' and scoring a little extra exciting. Of course, baseball in general is less of a contact sport than it used to be." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"When did it change? Were there too many injuries?" Humans could be very delicate. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	dream_catcher 2011-08-05 01:47 am UTC (link)
	"Nineteen fifties and sixties, with increased media exposure and all. No more spiking people when they slid into base and all of that. Way too many injuries, and wasn't the image they wanted to portray." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Her hands knead into his shoulders a little. "Aye, it's a very different image baseball has. Y'hear less about Yankees and Mets fans throwing each other off bridges than Celtic and Rangers." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Yankees and Red Sox are a different matter. Yankess-Mets has been so one sided for so long. But even then, baseball doesn't have as much hooligan atmosphere and all, its true." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	She nods, her hands continuing down his sides, working into the muscles a little as best she can. "Hockey's more like football, in several ways." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	dream_catcher 2011-08-05 02:04 am UTC (link)
	He shifts a little to make access as easy as possible, groaning happily. "Yeah, both contact sports, both tend to have more going on, less of a break, so the crowd stays more worked up. Hockey is fun too. I never really got into football so much." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	princess_mutt 2011-08-05 02:08 am UTC (link)
	"Well, most Americans aren' into real football," Moira says with a chuckle. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	dream_catcher 2011-08-05 02:10 am UTC (link)
	"Yeah, especially out in the midwest. On the coasts, there's a fan base for all sorts of things, it seems. Still, not nearly as big here as in most of the world, its true." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	dream_catcher 2011-08-05 02:50 am UTC (link)

	princess_mutt 2011-08-05 03:35 am UTC (link)
	"I see." She smiles. "I've ne'er been too clear on Christian clerical education. Canna imagine why." She chuckles wryly. "Och. Da acts every December like any church Mummy looks at is going to suck her in and hurt her." A pause. "So how long....?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	dream_catcher 2011-08-05 03:56 am UTC (link)
	"Well, its not as sequestered as seminary, I can come back fairly regularly and all, since we have means to travel... but on and off over at least a year, depending... two is common. I was kind of hoping you might come with me... but if you aren't able, I understand, and will visit every chance I get." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

"Sure you can. But life on the reservation isn't easy. But I could use the support. And there'd be lots of camping, hiking, time out in nature... since that's part of the point. It... well, will definitely confront you with a lot more of the religious stuff... I try not to do that here. There, won't always be a choice, since it'll be part of life... I don't want to pretend it'll be easy... but I would like you there."

	She clutches his hands. "Then I'm going. I'll deal with any religious confusion. Hasn' been bad for us yet, after all. Lovely girl, that Tehya." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	dream_catcher 2011-08-05 04:09 am UTC (link)
	"Thank you, love. Aside from that... a lot of it will be... well, priest stuff. There's a lot of poverty, alcoholism, addiction, crime... on the res. And not a lot of hope. I'll be trying to help with some of that... and a lot of days it will be wearing. Just want you to know what you're getting into..." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	princess_mutt 2011-08-05 04:11 am UTC (link)
	She cuddles her cheek against him. "I understand. Will there be any trouble about bringing some silly Forest princess along for this?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	dream_catcher 2011-08-05 04:23 am UTC (link)
	"There shouldn't be. Especially if I tell them the truth - that just before we started making arrangements, I proposed... pending completion of being ordained, and whatever schooling you still want to get. On which note - a while in coming, but will you marry me?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

There's a shiver through Moira's body as the realization hits her. It's almost a partial-changle as a ripple of auburn fur stands on end for just a moment.

This was never The Plan when she came to Xavier's. A few adventures, a little bonding with the extended family, get Danielle cured, and go home, back to training to help Da. That was The Plan. But it had changed, more and more. In several ways, but all the most important revolved around Lucas.

"...Aye. Yes, I will. I ...I love thee so much, Lucas." And now get very firmly pulled into a big toothy enthusiastic kiss, Lucas.

	dream_catcher 2011-08-05 04:43 am UTC (link)
	He returns the kiss happily, hugging her close. "I love you too. Just to be clear, there's no rush. Nothing will happen til I'm ordained... and there's a lot to work out. But I figured now was the time to ask, with... big changes looming." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	princess_mutt 2011-08-05 04:49 am UTC (link)
	An affirming sound. "No rush." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	dream_catcher 2011-08-05 04:50 am UTC (link)
	"Good, long as we're clear. I am hoping you and I can take some time away, just us, maybe Danielle, do some hunting and camping, before this all starts too." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	princess_mutt 2011-08-05 04:51 am UTC (link)
	"That sounds very good." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	dream_catcher 2011-08-05 04:53 am UTC (link)
	"Yeah, that was my thought too. We need some time away. I should also ask, aside from this, do you know what you want to do long term? Well, aside from getting married in a year or two." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

Moira blushed. "I...I don't know. I've always known what to do at home, but here... I like Midgard, a lot, but I'm not a lot of use here. I'm a hunter. I can organized a defense against a troll attack... I don't know that I'm good for much here, but... I want to be with you. We can go back to the Forest sometimes, to help out and to... at least make sure that Tyrylfa is ready for some things she might not have been expecting in the very long term, but... I want to be here as much as you need; I'll just need some figuring out of what to do."

	dream_catcher 2011-08-05 05:05 am UTC (link)
	"Use here isn't always the same as use there. Even if nothing else, being a preacher's wife, and a heroine, is something, and something useful. But yes, we can go back and help out there too." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	princess_mutt 2011-08-05 05:18 am UTC (link)
	She nods. "Good." She smiles. "Och, and dinna let anyone worry you with talk about Asgardian marriages. We don't go in for the complicated stuff, I'm sure y'ken." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	dream_catcher 2011-08-05 08:10 am UTC (link)
	"As long as I'm spending my life with you, I'm ok with whatever has to be worked out." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	princess_mutt 2011-08-05 08:21 am UTC (link)
	Moira practically melts against him, clinging a little. "Aye. Likewise." "When we get back, I'll have to tell Danielle." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	dream_catcher 2011-08-05 09:22 am UTC (link)
	He snuggles up happily in response. "Of course. And eventually, I'll get you a proper ring, when I have an income. I think parts of your family would prefer it. In the meanwhile, I made a simple one - just woven leaves, with a pendant of elk antler from our last hunting trip." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	princess_mutt 2011-08-05 08:32 pm UTC (link)
	"Sounds like a proper ring to me. Granny's not going to nitpick because I dinna have something expensive, Lucas." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	dream_catcher 2011-08-06 01:35 am UTC (link)
	"But your mother and grandmother both have some traditionalist in them. We'll work it out - this should do alright as an engagement ring, anyway." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	princess_mutt 2011-08-06 01:36 am UTC (link)
	"Aye." She'll be very excited as he puts it on her hand. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	dream_catcher 2011-08-06 01:53 am UTC (link)
	"I'm glad I got the size right. Resizing would be tricky." he replies with a grin. "Hopefully that will do for having a ring to show off." (Reply to this)(Parent)
