[ Sitting down with more care than Dash, Kai leaned his elbows on his knees, still gazing around as he took in the cozy feeling of warmth. The place held a very homey air, much like his own home. It begged the question where would they live and who had to give up more of their own personal security? He had a much bigger place but that didn't always mean much of anything, especially with the shock he already gave to Dash in the first place. Giving up a few things would be fair and he liked the aura of the home. The essence Dash gave off appealed to him too. Nothing at all harsh or wicked. A helpful thing considering his newly discovered prince status.

He shuddered to think of his mother's opinion on the origin of the union. She just gave him his pelt and he nearly lost it, winding up married in the process of its return. How many oops could he say here?

Eyes drifting back to Dash, he responded with - ] It's okay. I understand it's a lot to take in, especially if you do not know selkie too well. We're a complex bunch.

[ So many traditions and laws to try and keep constantly in mind. It would confuse anyone even other selkies. ]

[ Wait a minute! It couldn't be - could it? ] You - you really felt something? [ He shook his head. ]

Actually, it's more of an adventure this way. There's so much to learn about you! I'm not - I'm glad it wasn't anyone I know.

[ He knew a lot of jerks and just not nice people overall in the sea realm. Mermen were the very worst imagine but another story for another time. ]

Would you like the ring? I'm sure my mom will still insist on a ceremony. But technically this would be our wedding night!
