“Of course.” she replies, grinning knowingly at her brother before walking out. As the door shuts, she calls back to him. “Good luck wi-”
But whatever she was going to say is cut off by the door sealing shut with a hiss. Leaving you and your oldest son alone.
“So, what's on your mind?” you ask him, relaxing your stance. “What's going on son?”
“It's about Kori.” he says, your son looking down at his feet. Clearly nervous about something, but what? He takes a moment to find his courage, looking up to your eyes. “I want your opinion on something. If... If you think something is a good idea or not.”
“Well, I can't say I'm the smartest man son.” you tell him honestly, putting your hand on his shoulder. “But I can give you my best answer. You've been a bit more on edge all week, something's clearly been bothering you.”
“I... You mean it was that obvious?” he asks, to which you can't help but smile.
“Son, I've known you almost your entire life.” you tell him, reminiscing on the first time you'd seen him. “When you and Chaya were both newborns, I remember you and her both in the old nursery back on Planet Vegeta. Your sister crying and screaming her head off, and you flying over to her pod and laying with her so she calmed down. I can tell when something's weighing on your mind.”
He listens as you tell him something you'd never told him before, his brows furrowing as he digests this information. After a few seconds he takes a deep breath in, then sighs out and just blurts out his thoughts.
“Kori and I, well, we.... She, ahh, damn it.” he says, raising his hands and slapping his cheeks, focusing on his words. “I really like her. Really, really like her. And I was thinking about, well, this.”
And there, in his hand you see a small golden band with an azure stone embedded in it. Immediately you understand his intentions and why he's so lost for words. Well, it seems to you like his intentions are quite clear.
