A soft gasp slipped past their muzzle, blind orbs widened as the sight of the lake appeared in their mind. Unshed tears filled their gaze as they turned to look up in Byriath’s general direction. “I-I can see it..” they said, voice cracking as the tears finally began to fall. A soft sob rung out, their head ducking to try and hide their tears. “I haven’t seen anything since I was a cub, t-thank you Byriath..” they said softly, voice full of a hidden pain but covered up by the joy of being able to briefly see the view the two lovers had.
After a bit of time the snow leopard finally calmed down, clearing their throat as they straightened back up and shook out their pelt. Their ears pinned to the side as they nervously shuffled a bit, trying to figure out how to word this. “Byriath, you have been by my side for many years now,” they started off. “We have loved and lost, been through thick and thin, life and death. And every obstacle we crossed together and only grew closer. You quickly became the love of my life and the man I want to spend the rest of my life with. I have loved you since the beginning and I will continue to love you even when the world is ending,” they said, turning to face the other after having looked out across the lake. They lowered down in a bit of an awkward bow, a wing shuffling to carry an open box, that held a ring, out to rest between them. “I want to grow old with you Byriath, to create a family with you and to be together for the rest of our lives. With that said, will you marry me?”
