Sy Syverson (played by Henry Cavill) loves and hates Luna IV. The city oasis in the desert could be paradise, and the pull of the moon's effects on the feminine persuasion always made him feel it could be a great vacation spot, and as commander of l...
"Come on, Kane," you mumble. The dog was alright, but there were times can feel it watching you. It stands outside any door you go into, and is very wary of men. Merchants would give a discount just to keep you moving. When you are alone, however, he became like a puppy. You like him best that way.
You smile to yourself, hearing Helena's sing song way of calling your name. You turn and see her making her way to you, starting to actually waddle, the baby was growing so big. When you heard her husband call her sunshine, you were not surprised. Helena always had a sunny disposition.
"Hi!" Helena smiles brightly, finally catching up to you. "Oh, I was hoping you'd come today."
"Why?" you ask, slowing your usual walk for her benefit. "What's wrong?"
"Nothing," she nods quickly. "It's just nice to have someone to shop with.
You smile gently. "Well, I figured you'd be here. I hate shopping alone now, thanks to you." You raise your voice, casting a sideward glance at the older claimed women in the distance as she locks elbows with you. "I mean, where would I get a decent opinion?"
Helena giggles, rolling her eyes. "You're awful."
"That's what Sy tells me," you joke softly as they walked by a fruit booth.
"That's what they say too," Helena nods quickly in the direction of the other women. "Women have been trying to get Sy since he got here. They keep asking how you did it."
You chuckle, and then sigh. "I'll be honest, I'm not sure."
"Oh, don't let them hear you say that!" Helena giggled back.
You give a unladylike snort. "Don't worry, I'm sure Kane'll get 'em." You give the dog a pat on the head. "Won't ya, boy?"
"Is Sy still worried?"
"Yeah, he still is," you frown. "I am claimed. There's really not much anyone can do now."
"Well, all I know is that security is tighter now," Helena informs as they stop to look at smoked meat. "He's made it harder for people to get into Luna IV...oh, I do miss food pellets sometimes."
"I don't," you shake your head. "My father didn't believe in them...ever."
"Really?"
"Nope."
"Are you ready for tonight?"
You feel a flock of butterflies in your stomach. "Ready as I'll ever be."
"You're going to do it," Helena said excitedly. "You're really going to do it!"
"Yeah," you nod, your thoughts turning to Sy. "I've been working on this all month." Tonight, you would lay your claim on Simon Syverson.
You prepare a meal. You fill the house with scents like jasmine and lavender, even a little vanilla. You redecorated the house, and now you wait.
