| Lyraa |
Sure, what did ya want t' show me? |
| Ferdinand |
Patience my dear Lyraa. Take my arm, we only have the light from the moon to shine upon our trail and I would hate for you to take a tumble. |
| Lyraa |
Ok, ok. Takes Ferdinand’s arm |
| Ferdinand |
I know we have only just seen this war through, and that there is much work to be done with the reserve, but I was patrolling the area when I found a wondrous scene. |
| Lyraa |
Oh really? That's exciting! |
| Ferdinand |
It really is! Now, we are almost there. Lyraa, close your eyes and place your trust in me. |
| Lyraa |
Oh gosh, uh, ok. Closes her eyes. |
| Ferdinand |
Guides Lyraa carefully through the woods .. Alright Lyraa, you may open your eyes now. |
| Lyraa |
Opens eyes, sees a huge group of Silvercap flowers in full bloom glistening in the moonlight ...Wha? |
| Ferdinand |
I just happened upon this patch by chance. I just knew this would be the perfect area but the blooms are more spectacular than I ever imagined! |
| Lyraa |
They really are! Oh gosh, I dunno what to say. Did ya see the bees during the day too? |
| Ferdinand |
I did! More than I could count even! If you look up there in the trees, you will even see some hives. |
| Lyraa |
Ferdinand. Thank you. Truly. I dunno how else t' pay you back for everything. I've read the petals from the Silvercap flower are delicious in a tea. |
| Lyraa |
I will gather some o' flowers when I feel confident t' population is stable here, an' then I'll brew ya a tea with some o' t' honey. Ah! We'll have honey again soon! |
| Ferdinand |
Indeed! A fine brew alone would be more than enough, however I do have a request of you if you will hear me out? |
| Lyraa |
Sure, what is it? |
| Ferdinand |
When I first witnessed you here all them years ago I must admit I had no idea how important this place would become to me. How important you would become to me. From the moment I rise, till when my eyes close to sleep, you are in my mind. |
| Ferdinand |
I think about you all the time, and I quickly realized I have become smitten with you. Lyraa Sparrow, will you be my wife? Presents ring |
| Lyraa |
… |
| Ferdinand |
Please, this silence is deafening, say something? |
| Lyraa |
Ack! |
| Ferdinand |
Lyraa! Are you well?! |
| Lyraa |
Ohh gosh. Covers face with hands Ferdie.. You've been so very kind to me… |
| Ferdinand |
..You do not reciprocate my feelings, do you? |
| Lyraa |
No - wait, yes! I do, I feel t' same way! |
| Ferdinand |
You do? Truly? |
| Lyraa |
I do, how could I not after everything? You protected me during the war, listened to me blabber on about insects o' all things, you've always been so lovely an' patient with me… |
| Ferdinand |
You are my everything. It is I who is truly happy now. |
| Lyraa |
We can both be happy together! Get it, bee happy. laughs |
| Ferdinand |
laughs Oh yes, very funny. I love you, my little Sparrow. |
| Lyraa |
I love ya too, ya noble fancy pants. |
