Hm, what do you count as trouble? I fought a Corsair, trolled people with bottles letters, pretended to be a man posing as a woman and snuck into Corsair territory.
Okay, good to know. I'll write that down. "Zack counts these sorts of things as trouble."
Nah, I'm all injury-free! That Corsair lady was tough, but we sort of just stopped fighting before anyone got hurt. And I had back-up when on infiltration duty. Guy has a huge sword, lots of them!
[As one of the three people who had directly asked if he and Orchid were a couple back when she first arrived, and whom he had told no, Daqiang felt it important to correct that impression now that he had been corrected.]
You asked if we were a couple or married or something.
Betrothed is correct. We have agreed to marry but have not set the engagement period or determined when to have the wedding.
[Dating. He knew about that. That usually came before the betrothal in this world, though arranged dates during a betrothal period was not uncommon in his. And many of the activities on dates were ones that Orchid might enjoy regardless. He would have to review his literature on the topic (his romance collection) to determine if there were any Orchid would especially enjoy.]
She is 1500 and this venerable one is over 30,000 years old. She has no parents, however, so there is no generational conflict. And this venerable one is the head of his family, so we are both able to negotiate for ourselves. We can decide the details ourselves.
[Which really meant Orchid could decide the details because he was just happy she said yes.]
Well, let me know the date, so I can send a gift for you two crazy kids. Do you do wedding gifts from guests in your world? If not, you should definitely consider it.
[ Nimona kind of wonders what kind of lady Dongfang is interested in. Obviously, her "eyes sparkle in the morning light". Also, glad to help out on giving the idea of dating. ]
Ok, not what I was asking. But congratulations! So she didn't really like someone else. Or maybe she had a crush, but now she knows what true love is. And you really did have romantic feelings for her, too!
[ Even if he wasn't sure what it meant to feel them when they had that conversation. ]
Hohoho! You're quite the mischievous sort! I've seen the gifts that you've left behind and they've all given me quite the good chuckle! Unfortunately, I can't quite match your antics. But I might have something that you'll enjoy just the same!
Happy Holidays,
Santa Claus
[Nimona will receive a bag of homemade, chocolate chip cookies! They're super soft and chewy! There's also a plush bear-shark (is it a shark? is it a bear? it's both!) holding a hand-knitted stocking filled with more candy!
[A package! With a signed note from Miriam on it. Inside it are enchanted mittens with a black and white bone pattern on them—the outlines gradually change shape the longer they're worn, sometimes resembling a human hand and sometimes a frog's webbing or a lizard's clawed toes. They're quite warm, and remain so for longer than ordinary mittens.]
[To be honest, Freminet wasn't expecting a gift from Nimona. Which was why the present was a little late. In a hurry, he hoped that she could like chocolate chip cookies and a miniature figure of a dolphin. There is a note that reads:]

Think I've gotta class almost all of those things as getting into trouble.
Please tell me you didn't get hurt?

If you do get into trouble make sure you call me.

But no, it's not me. I only bite people that deserve it.

You asked if we were a couple or married or something.
We will be.
[Is he smug? Yes. Very.]

Ooo! Are you dating? Wait, do you know what dating is? Are you betrothed?
[ It sounds as if she's flipping through pages in a book. ]
What's your age difference?
