[She folds her arms under her chest.]

Tough, huh? Do you have experience with a sword?

[markofthewise]

[Sokka glances over his shoulder at the sword attached. He pulls it out.]

I've got this, don't I?

[He has no idea if he's any good with it.]

[installing]

Think we might be sparing partners?

[markofthewise]

I was thinking more than that. [He lowers the sword, dangling the necklace again.]

I think this is yours.

[installing]

Mine? [Winry takes the necklace in her hands to take a closer look. It seems important, and she almost feels like she should know.]

Can you be sure? [No, that's a stupid question. No one can remember anything.]

[markofthewise]

[He frowns, but shakes his head.]

Not really. But. I think when someone holds it, we'll just know it's right.

[installing]

[Winry can't place it, but for some reason she knows this necklace is important and she feels some sort of special connection with him. Could it be "right"?]

Do you feel it?

[markofthewise]

[He tilts his head and stares into her eyes. He sort of feels... like she's important to him. And not in the creepy sisterly way like that girl from the morning.]

I... think so?

[installing]

[With the necklace still in her hand she pokes him in the chest.]

You think? That might not be sure enough. [Poke, poke.]

[markofthewise]

[Flustered a little, but he doesn't back down. Even if he is a bit red in the face.]

Okay... I'm sure! Definitely sure!

[installing]

[She laughs, and then presents the necklace back to him in her hand.]

So tell me, how important does this necklace make us to each other?

[markofthewise]

[Ahh. His eyes fell a little, a tiny bit embarrassed. Yet a smile tugged at his face anyway. There was a part in him that really, really wanted to see the owner of this necklace.]

Well. We'd be engaged.

[installing]

[Her eyes grow a little wide as she stares at the necklace. Winry's cheeks color before she looks back up at him.]

Engaged, huh?
[That's pretty serious. Especially since it seems she lives with another guy. However that other guy could just be a friend from home, and she was helping him take care of the little girl that lived there.]

[markofthewise]

[He nods, finally looking back up at her.]

I'm not sure about the other stuff the note said about me. But I am about this. About the necklace being important.

[installing]

[She smiles up at him, and offers him the necklace.]

I trust you. [Her hand is before him with the necklace displayed in her palm. Take it. Put it around her neck. Isn't that what a guy is supposed to do?]

[markofthewise]

[He looks down at the necklace and hesitates before putting it on her.]

I think I should at least know your name first.

[installing]

The name is Winry. Princess Winry.

[markofthewise]

[He gapes slightly at that.]

P-princess!? I'm engaged to-- ohhhh.

[That. That makes sense.]

So that's why I'm "Lord" of the Hunt.

[installing]

Wait, so does that mean our cards say we match up? [Sort of? Cool! She's more confident about this now.]

[markofthewise]

I guess so. I mean, that would make me Lord Thunderaxe, after all.

[Wow. So this is really it. All the other ones did feel wrong. But this... this feels right.]

[installing]

So ready to be engaged again?

[markofthewise]

I'd say 'never been readier', but my memory isn't very reliable.

{All the same, he's undoing the necklace and stepping forward. Around and behind her neck.]

[installing]

[Winry laughs at that, and makes sure her hair isn't in the way of his view.]

Well, I'm ready.

[markofthewise]

[He clasps the necklace behind her and then steps back, admiring the work. He rather thinks the bright yellow sun against the ocean waves works perfectly with her golden hair and sea blue eyes. Yes. Meant to be.]

It's perfect.

[installing]

[Winry adopts a sort of demure expression as she touches the necklace with her fingers, and looks at the ground with a blush on her cheeks.]

Only the best for a Princess, huh?
