[It's the Candle Cavern again, and here's Pyro with a message for you all. But this time, he doesn't look disdainful or angry - in fact, he looks somewhat uneasy, like he's standing on a precipice with toes curled around the edge and only one step away from changing everything.]

I know what you all think of me. I'm used to it.

[The beginning of a challenge? No, his voice softens to match his expression.]

But everyone faces a choice at least once in their lives where there's no other answer but doing the right thing. And yeah, even I can do that.

[And now he stares out earnestly, almost vulnerably.]

Euri... will you marry me?

[More out of character confessions! Is it another curse, or is this one for real? Break out the popcorn, folks. It'll be fun either way.]

[ PYRO, SO DRAMATIC... ]

You mean she's...? [ She didn't know that pregnancy was possible in Asgard. ]

[ex_outofcontrol435]

Yeah. [He lets out a long sigh, looking a bit lost.] It's not what I expected, or what I planned, but... it's all that matters now.

[forgetforgive]

[ Wow, this is serious. After a moment, she filters the video feed. ]

Well, I'm not sure if a public declaration's a good idea. You should talk with her privately. See how she feels, what she wants to do.

[ex_outofcontrol435]

Maybe you're right. [SO SRS.] I just want her to know how serious I am about this. That I really mean it.

[issuesdrawn]

Talk to her personally, then. You both have a lot of important, difficult decisions ahead of you, but if you're honest about how you feel and want to be together, things will work out.

[ex_outofcontrol435]

[That much sentiment at once, especially about Euri, is almost physically revolting. But he just manages to keep up the act, nodding faintly.]

Nina, right?

[imhome]

Right. And you're Pyro?

[ex_outofcontrol435]

[Well, at least she didn't call him John. That's a point in her favour.]

Yeah, that's right.

[imhome]

If I can help either of you, let me know.

[ex_outofcontrol435]

[Oh God.]

Yeah, sure. [A pause.] Thanks.
