[video] And a filter to Marlene, Denzel, Shelke and Eiko

[Cloud frowns a little at the screen.]

Tifa, I'm going to take the kids out for a while. You can have some peace and quiet. I know they've been stressful.

...Did you see Tidus propose? It's great, right?



[Filtered to Marlene, Denzel, Shelke and Eiko.]

[Thanks to Tidus, Cloud has finally found some balls and is going to finally take the plunge as well. Of course, he's got to do this right, or else Tifa is going to kick his ass. He's sat in a room in the palace but he's awfully quiet.]

Guys, I need your help.

I have to get an engagement ring. Anyone up for a trip?



[OOC: We can do this through an action post here, if you want?]

[Eiko is more than happy to have Denzel's hand and bounces along with the group.]

What kind of stone are you looking for, Cloud? What's Tifa's favorite eidolon? We can pick that jewel.

I don't know... I don't think she has a favourite eidolon...

[Cloud shakes his head as they walk to the business district, his frown deepening at the sight of all the places they could be searching.]

I... [Cloud has no idea what his woman likes!!]

Maybe you could get her a ring to match her earrings?

[Shelke wasn't quite certain if she should take the hand Marlene offered to her. On the one hand, she didn't particularly enjoy being treated like a little kid. Because despite the occasional acting like one, she wasn't. Still...she didn't want to insult Marlene by not taking the hand, and Marlene was a little kid...so after a few moments she carefully accepted the offer of hand-holding. If a bit tenatively.]

Tifa does not wear many fancy looking things. [Shelke offered as her little contribution to the thought of rings.] She would probably not wish to have some elaborate and overly-gaudy ring.

[Marlene doesn't bite, Shelke. She's not going to hurt you! You were just family, so it was natural for her. She considered both Shelke's and Denzel's words carefully.]

Maybe something simple, with a pretty stone?

And sparkly! It should be very sparkly.

[Eiko's mind is clearly on summoning jewels, since her added commentary goes back to that topic.]

Maybe an Opal. That's Shiva's jewel and she's very very pretty. Or maybe a Ruby. That one's Carbunkle's.

[Cloud sighs a little because, well, shopping isn't fun anyway but this is just crazy. How is he supposed to know what Tifa wants?]

Aren't diamonds the tradition?

[action]

[xnotyetaherox.livejournal.com]

A diamond would be perfect! Let's find the prettiest one!

[action]

[tinymakoaddict.livejournal.com]

Does Cloud have the funds to acquire the 'prettiest' diamond?

[Trust shelke to ask the obvious question.]

[action]

[littleprotector.livejournal.com]

[Marlene nodded enthusiastically. But Shelke was right. Did they all have enough money?]

Definitely a diamond! They're the best ones.

[Eiko's mind is on the usefulness of the jewels, not necessarily the tradition. So now she's pondering if diamonds are okay.

She concludes they are.]

A heart shaped diamond. Those are very pretty. Mother likes her diamond earrings.

[loveandstrife.livejournal.com]

We can't afford anything enormous but she'd be okay with an average sized one...

[Cloud nods at Eiko with a slight smile.] Heart shaped, yeah. That'd be nice.

[He spots a jewellery stall and heads over, leading the children along. Big blue eyes search the trays of rings but he is completely clueless.]

[xnotyetaherox.livejournal.com]

Wow... they're all really pretty.
