The hint is clear, but you can't just take her to the butcher or the brewery to get a small party going like you could with your friends from the guard patrols. This needs to be a special place, scenic, with a bit of class.
And you really don't know any place like that so you're at a bit of a loss, but then you remember that she always preferred staying within the village and you think just a day walking around together would be the best idea.
You ask her if she likes anywhere specific and she returns with saying that she doesn't have any place in mind. Ah, Oranya had the great wisdom to teach you what that meant. So you do exactly as you were taught and take her along for a nice comfortable walk around the village.
The two of you don't really go anywhere specifically, just enjoying a stroll around, and judging from the smile on her face, you think you made the right call. She's never been one for private events without many people so the proper thing to do is just to have a sort of walking date.
You do grab a hearty snack for the walk, a thick breaded pastry with savory meats stuffed into it and you notice there's a refreshing spicy taste to it that makes your mouth water.
Looks like someone's managed to find a proper seasoning.
Harell's daughter was given a lightly spiced bun of meat and she finishes hers about the same time as you do, and you both continue walking. To the Carpenters to say hello, curving over to the jewelers and being greeted by Chael the woman who runs the gem craft workshop. Then you swing over to the ranchers to just pass by and you see they're hard at work to raise the cattle. Going further takes you around again, and you pretend not to notice that many villagers have a grin as they watch you go by.
News would travel fast.
You feel a hand brush against yours and hold on, and Harell's daughter has a special kind of smile as you both continue just enjoying the day with each other.
However, all good things come to and end and by the time you reach the farm again, it's getting late enough for the sun to be almost entirely set.
"Come back around sometime soon, Capran, okay?"
Your response is immediate and confident. "Absolutely!"
And so you two finally break away after some more small talk and you enter your home workshop with a bright smile that Oranya definitely teases you about.
