"Is there a reason for getting on one knee?" Foreign customs are so strange sometimes. Amelia's heard a lot of things while she's been here, but being required to get on one knee to ask someone to be with you for the rest of their lives? That's a new, and very odd, one for her.
The ring is a wonderful distraction from her questions and thoughts about the traditions around proposing, though. She smiles brightly as she takes careful hold of Adia's hand, looking over the sparkling ring with its bright oranges with a palpable excitement. This is another part of the marriage tradition that people of Earth follow that she simply doesn't understand (though a few have attempted to explain it to her in the past), but it's one she can appreciate much more easily. A gift of some kind seems to be a common thread in traditions surrounding marriage in a great many cultures the rogue has encountered.
"It's beautiful. I've never seen anything like it." She smiles at Adia and then at Caspar as she releases Adia's hand, her lips tugging up into a grin as she sees the look on his face. Your excitement about your choice is very obvious, friend. "How did you choose something like this? Is there some significance to it?"
