"Dirt's good enough for me. I can deal without a blanket or pillow, not like I haven't done it before." he said with a shrug.

Athena nodded and kissed him. "Good night." she said softly before placing the blanket on the ground and lying down on top of it, setting the pack down under her head.

Wind got himself comfortable on the ground and glanced at her. He reached into his pocket and felt the small box he had purchased the night before. Tomorrow. he thought before closing his eyes.

The next morning Wind woke up and looked over at Athena. A leaf had landed on her from the tree during the night. He gently picked the leaf off and dropped it on the ground. Then he sat up and took out the box from his pocket and gazed at it.

Athena remained asleep and wiggled her nose when he took the leaf off of it.

He sighed and stuffed the box back into his pocket. Leaning against the tree he watched the sun rise over the distant hills.

When the sun shone on her face, Athena opened her eyes and looked around. "Hey, Wind." she greeted as she sat up.

"Mornin' " he said as he looked over at her. His claws wrapped around the tiny box. "Hey. . . You know, about what I said yesterday?"

"Yeah. . . That. . ." he said. He didn't really know how to continue. This was turning out very awkward.

"Well. . . I do love you. . . and I wouldn't mind being with you all the time so. . ." he trailed off and held out his hand before uncurling his claws to reveal the small box.

Athena looked at the box blankly. "What is that?" she asked him, thinking there was no way it could be a ring since that wasn't something Wind would do.

"What do you think it is?" he asked with a roll of his eyes. He opened the box and took out the ring, letting the early morning light glint off it.
