FOX
Glancing within the tent to the blonde medic as she waves in response, Fox is soon distracted by Deimos again - and the blue-eyed bundle staring back at him. "Chip off the old block," he remarks with a grin, forcing himself to relax by degrees. "And most forms, unfortunately. Walking and on horseback I'm alright, and if I'm at the front of a cart. But anything else is... not pretty." It had been a nasty shock after being Ascended for so long where, of course, he didn't have to worry about such things.
The fights might not have been easy but Deimos had absolutely earned his victories, and Fox is about to say as much before the Sword gets to the root of the matter, and the hunter's mouth grows quite dry. "I did, yes. And I swear I'm normally not such a mess, despite how I might look." As if that would earn him points.
Still, he finds his resolve, draws himself up, and goes for it.
"As you know, Kiada and I have been together for a while now, and I hope you can believe me when I say I don't think I have ever been happier." His smile is bashful and directed at the sands. "You didn't know me before I was an Ancient - before Kia, truthfully - but she's made me a better man than I ever was."
Glancing back up at Deimos, Fox pats his pocket where, unbeknownst to the Sword, a small engagement ring sits safe and sound. "I don't see myself being with anyone else. She's the only future I want, and I'd like to make it official - but not without your blessing. I wasn't able to ask her mother... but I can ask you."

Horns: Small, bone-like protrusions (aka your stereotypical devil horns) that are easy to miss in his hair.
