Callum: *sitting in courtyard*

Ezran: *comes out of the doors*

Callum: *sees him* Ezran! I'm glad you're here. I, uh, need to talk to you.

Ezran: Sure, okay. *they both start walking around the fountain* What's goin' on?

Callum: I'm thinking of maybe, Rayla, talking-I mean asking, to, uh?-

Ezran: Callum, I have no idea what you're saying.

Callum: I-I think I'm going to try to propose to Rayla.

Ezran: *blinks*. . . wow.

Callum: I just, wanted you-your thoughts?

Ezran: *jumps up on bench* WHY did it take you this long?!!! DO YOU KNOW HOW LONG I'VE WAITED TILL WE COULD ALL BE FAMILY?!?!

Callum: *shyly* So yes?

Ezran: *rolls eyes* Of COURSE Callum. I love Rayla. She's been spiritually part of the family since she tried to kill you, in my mind I was just, waiting. For you guys when YOU were ready.

Callum: I think I'm ready.

Ezran: *smiles* Good. Did this help?

Callum: Yes. Thank you so much, Ez. *stands up and starts walking away*

Ezran: Wait! One more thing.

Callum: *turns around*

Ezran: I call best man.

Callum: What, are you kidding? You claimed best man at my wedding the day you were born!

Ezran: Glad to hear it. *smiles and makes shooing motions with hands*

Callum: *walks away through arch. Arm grabs him* Aaah! Hey! *struggles to get away*

Soren: *pops up* Shhhh....

Callum: Soren!?

Soren: SHHHHHH!!!!

Callum: *whispers* YOU'RE not being very quiet. What are you doing here?

Soren: I was listening to you.

Callum: You were eavesdropping? *blushes*

Soren: No, not exactly . . . . okay, yes, exactly, but I can HELP YOU. *shakes his shoulder*

Callum: What'd you mean you can help me?

Soren: You know, *gets down on one knee and holds out imaginary box*

Callum: Hey! *pulls him back up* It was supposed to be a surprise!

Soren: It still IS a surprise. Notice the area I picked to talk to you. *gestures around them*

Callum: Okay, okay, what do you got?

Soren: I've got, *whips out list from pocket and hands it to Callum*

Callum: Wow, uh, A box of chocolates Soren?

Soren: Yep. I've already got some right here. *holds them out*

Callum: And Confetti?

Soren: For after she says yes.

Callum: Okay Soren, is this a joke? A hokey stick, a hokey puck and a goal?

Soren: I wanted it to be a basketball thing but you're to short and it would give it away too much. It's supposed to be like a pun. You know so after she says yes you shoot the puck and yell "SCORE!" . . . but then again, you probably couldn't hit the goal . . .

Callum: *gives him funny look then looks back down at list* Soren! A Pinata?!

Soren: She's an assassin that can't kill people but I though maybe she could beat the crap out of a Pinata.

Callum: Listen, thanks Soren but I think I will just ask her and there won't be anything fancy. *speed walks away*

Soren: *shrugs* You're loss. *Sits down and eats Chocolate* Mmmmm...
