Everest
Peering down into the recyclable box that's releasing enough steam for him to have a mini facial, Ever carefully unwraps his pair of chopsticks rather than simply diving in. "I...always just assumed I would." The paramedic replies, picking up a dumpling and trying not to think too hard about how and where it was made as he blows on it. "But now? I guess I just don't see how it would happen." Living the life he did there was simply no room or desire for a relationship, and though if pressed, Ever would probably still say that his "someday's" included a white picket fence and wife, it was becoming more and more of a fairy tale as the years went on.
The proposal has apparently not been entirely well-received given how the man is standing slowly, the ring still in his hand. The woman is smiling, but there's something tentative in her expression. "It seems so strange that someone would just...pop the question before having some reason to believe their partner would say yes." Ever thinks, chewing a dumpling. 'Surely you should...sort of pre-ask if marriage is on the table, before bothering with the expense of a ring and whatnot?"
