[ Root stays close, and cuddles even closer when she pulls her hand out. She wipes her fingers on the top she took off a while ago and kisses Shaw's cheek. ]

You look really beautiful like this.

Mmhmmm. [ She nuzzles Shaw's cheek. The way Shaw looks satisfied, relaxed, not thinking about someone trying to kill them, certain that this is real. ]

You still should. It'll be the best ring ever.

[ This is real. This isn't a dream. This is really happening. She is not dead. Shaw is not being held captive. They are here together, and they are now engaged. aaaaaaa

Root holds out her hand, booping Shaw's nose on the way. ]


Practical and romantic. You sure know how to make me weak in the knees.

[ She'll kiss it better later. For now, Root keeps her hand still under the needle. They've earned this with blood, sweat, and tears-- literally-- so the sharp, stabbing pain of getting inked feels like nothing, and means everything. ]

I can get you a ring too. And tattoo one on you, of course.

Infinity.

[ It's personal and quite literally involves blood. That means so much, given their history. Choosing how to bleed, to show they're in this forever... ]

I love it.

[ Root nods and lays her head on Shaw's chest. ]

[ Root could fall asleep like this. She has, before. ]

Hm?

[ Her free hand gently strokes Shaw's side, around the edges of the freshly bandaged tattoo. ]

I'm here.

[ Lying like this, with her right ear on Shaw's chest, Root feels Shaw's heartbeat, comforting like an embrace. ]

Idar.

[ Despite the redness and stinging ache of this being a fresh wound, Root admires it like it's gold and diamonds. ]

You really... [ a breathy laugh, nervous and excited and a little disbelieving ] --you know I never expected this. I'm happy just to be with you. This is...

[ She never expected she'd ever fall in love, let alone get married-- she's got no idea what to say right now. ]

You won't. And even if you do, I don't care. You're stuck with me, sweetie.

I was hoping as much. [ She lifts her head just enough to kiss Shaw's neck. ] Wouldn't want it any other way.
