Dear Doxy,

Thank you for being my friend through the years! I adore you (more than I adore Jelly, in fact.) I hope you enjoy this gift!

Catherine collapses onto her bed, a sigh falling from her lips. “This is madness,” she mutters under her breath, staring into the ceiling. She'd just gotten word from Claude that they were to set out to Shambala in a few days-- they'd gotten a tip-off from Hubert post-mortem, who'd given them the approximate location of an underground base. An underground base! “Madness,” she mumbles once again.

After she'd seen the Professor come back from the dead, and Lady Rhea transform into a dragon in front of her eyes, she'd thought that she was done with being surprised, but apparently life is happy to throw her curveball after curveball. She'd signed up for some strange twists when she'd abandoned her noble title for the life of a warrior, but this is absolutely madness. Nevertheless, Claude had emphasized earlier that this was the final battle for them, the real, actual, final-final battle for sure-- but Catherine suspects that she and Thunderbrand haven't fought their last.

A knock on the door. Catherine sits up at once. “Who's there?” she bellows.

There's another knock, this time, firmer, followed by a groan. Shamir's familiar drawl resonates from behind the wooden door. “It's me,” she says. “You going to let me in, or?”

Darn, just as she was getting comfortable, too. “Coming!” Catherine says, scrambling to her feet. She turns the doorknob to see her partner standing in front of her, arms folded and tapping her shoe on the ground. Patience has never been either of their strong suit. “Well, look who it is.”

“Yeah, yeah,” Shamir says, pushing past Catherine and stepping into the room. “I'm here to talk business, so let's make it quick.” She leans against the wall. “So, when are we headed to Dagda?”

Catherine blinks back at her in shock.

“What-- what do you mean?”

“You know what I mean.” Shamir's tone is dry as ever. “Didn't you hear me the first time? We're getting married in Dagda. I've even got something for us. Catch.” Shamir pulls something out from from her pocket, tossing it in Catherine's direction. Catherine yelps, lunging forward to catch it. She blinks down at the item-- it's a simple silver ring, engraved with both their names.

Her jaw has fallen so far, she's surprised it hasn't reached Abyss.

“You... You weren't joking,” Catherine sputters out. “You actually meant it when you said we could get married.”

“What? I was being completely serious,” Shamir says. A small smile tugs at the edge of her mouth. “Let's spend the rest of our lives together. As partners, in more ways than one. What do you think?”

Catherine swallows the lump in her throat. She'd fled from Faerghus so long ago to become a Knight of Seiros, escaping the expectations that had been cast upon her as Cassandra of Charon. Her newfound duties had been a release from the chains she'd been bound by her entire life, but here Shamir is, telling her to quit. To travel to Dagda, together.

Yet there's no mistaking the fluttering feeling in her chest-- and the voice in her head telling her that this feels right.

Catherine nods, slipping the ring on her finger. The silver metal looks nice when contrasted with her tanned skin. Shamir claps her hands together.

“Well, that's settled. It suits you,” she says, uncharacteristically softly. She takes a step closer towards Catherine, the same small smile still on her lips. Catherine nods.

“The rest of our lives together, huh? I like the sound of that!”

“So do I.”

gasp you adore me more than Jelly? really??

likewise though, i’m so glad we’ve known each other for so long and i always enjoy seeing your shitposts and yelling and thoughts on the TL whether we’re in the same fandom or not

thanks so much for this... i yelled when i realized it was the marriage proposal continuation (i’m so happy for canon but how dare you just leave it there FE3H...). Shamir just being like “i need to talk business” is so her, and i really like that this also presents a chance to Catherine to just live life how she wants for onice :’)
