There it was, he was really looking at her now. Her smile maintained as he spoke. "I would say you are more civilized than a beast, so there's that." She commented as her smile curled into a small smirk. Her gaze eventually turned back to the ocean, and she began to walk along the shore, letting the water lap at her feet.

"Anything?" She echoed back, formulating in her mind what she wanted to say next. Cyprian took the initiative though, giving away anything that may have needed to be known. He was direct, at least, and Rosalinde rather enjoyed that.

"Already mentioning marriage and we've only just started to really talk about the topic." She laughed, looking back at him. "Are you proposing we wed already?" She was teasing, of course. But... maybe only slightly. There were benefits of being a married woman in a high position. Outside of the rather obvious rebellion against her own family's wishes. Had she picked another human or an elf... even a dwarf, there certainly wouldn't be any kind of harsh words and questioning of her decisions. But someone completely and entirely outside of her species was almost unheard of. "To be honest, I wouldn't mind the change of pace in life." She stretched her arms above her head, reaching for the sky until she fanned out her hands as if reaching for the setting sun. "If, of course, you are in a rush." She continued to tease.
