The Great Cookie Capers!

[Lord Windos]

*Looks at his handcuffed hand, before glancing at the unconscious ranger, before rolling their eyes*

Even when you are not trying, you are still quite vexing. Thanatos, can you please release me from my bonds, and escort this bloke to the barracks.

*Thanatos nods, before griping the chain between the handcuffs, and dissolving them away with darkness*
*Afterwards, goes over to the passed out ranger, pick them up, before fading away with him*

I don't know where they live, so might as well put the bugger somewhere safe and close by. Though, on the subject of our wayward ranger, you need to give the chap a raise, because I think they saved my life. Don't quite know the detail myself, what with passing out due to radiation poisoning, but whatever they did, it right knackered me.

*Puts a hand to their forward, their migraine not diminished in the slightest*

Quite honestly, if it was not for all the adrenaline still coursing through me, I be far worse of then I am right now. Saving you was my priority at the time, so despite how terrible I felt -and still feel, I might add- I couldn't let something like a post-mortem experience hinder me, hehe!

*Peers through his finger at his beloved, before letting out a tired sigh, and wanly smiling*

Besides that and the toxic arsehole ruining our dinner date, the only things I am aware of is that your ranger tried conducting a sting operation and failed spectacularly, and that the Tandor pirates are somehow involved in this mess.

*Pours themself a glass of wine, and fills a glass for Phantom, and hands it over to them*

All I just want to do now is enjoy a glass of wine with you, and head off to dreamland. Preferably, at you place, if you don't mind. A fitting hero reward, do you not agree? I have my Dramsama tailing the wanker anyway, so she'll be able to fill in the gaps of information.

*Sips his wine, before looking starring at Phantom, looking nervous, before steeling themselves*

Now that we are alone, relatively speaking, I have something to confess. The reason I wanted to have dinner with you tonight was not to simply exchange information, but to ask something precious from you.

*Places their wine glass down, stands up, and, reaching into his jacket, takes out a small black box*

In my ever so bold and roguish way...

*Crouches down, one knee on the ground, and present the box to the love of their life*
*Opens the box, revealing a chocolate diamond studded ring*

Will you marry me?
