He blinked once, fingers of one paw curling around the lighter. "You can't?" he asked. "The fact you live here means you're welcome ta the resources."

She glanced away, but looked back up at him after a moment, finally nodding, "I suppose that's true."

He swallowed. "What's the matter?" he asked, quietly.

"I'll look like a kept woman, Macavity," She murmured softly.

For a moment Macavity just watched her, biting the inside of his lip. He knew how to make grand gestures and throw fantastic parties but when it came down to more intimate matters, he really only felt awkward and afraid. If he was scared about becoming a father, he was just as scared about what he might do to his wife.
Swallowing, he attempted, "Would it look better if you married me?"

Her eyes widened at that, unable to believe that he'd actually asked that question. She knew he loved her and that she loved him, but could she honestly give him the answer she'd never given to the last tom she'd said the same of? Her gaze flickered over his face, judging his sincerity and his mood before she answered, "Y-yes, it probably would..."

"Will you?" he asked softly, swallowing hard again. "I went lookin' for rings but couldn't find anythin' and I just..."

Griddlebone's gaze turned to one of shock, "You...went looking for rings?" Well, she couldn't blame his asking her on the conversation then, "I-I...This isn't just about the kits and propriety is it?" Her tone was cautious.

He nodded in reference to the rings and paused. "I can't say the kit and propriety isn't a factor," he replied truthfully. "But I love you. I want ta do this. It's certainly been sped up a 'reat deal by other factors but that's not the reason I'm askin'. Not the only reason," he amended.

She paused, considering his words and then nodded slightly, "I love you too, Mac. I... yes. I will marry you."

He let out a long breath he hadn't even realized he was holding. "You sure? God, I don't want ta question you, or question this, but are you really sure?"

"Macavity," she looked him in the eye, "I am more sure about this than I've been about anything of late. I love you. I would be honored to be your wife."

He reached out, taking her paws across the table. "Grids... I... Well, perhaps we should see about a rin' then, huh? And maybe some new dresses."

Grids squeezed his paw slightly, "I'm certainly alright with both of those ideas. I don't need a ring though, Mac. Really I don't. Cat knows I don't even really need the dresses."

"No," he agreed, looking her over and smiling. "But I want ta be able to give you those things. Besides, propriety at least says you should have a rin'," he teased.
