Mityr noted his wife's demeanor and quickly cleared his throat before looking to Asha and Adrik again.

"Asha, it's been so long since I've actually sat down and talked to you, why don't we go chat in the sitting room while Riley finishes up here?" He suggested.

"That sounds like a good idea, Papa, but I had something to talk to Mama about, can you start without me?" Adrik asked, looking to Asha then. "Do you mind?"

“Not at all,” Asha feigned a smile and waved Adrik off before following Mityr into the sitting room.

Riley looked up then, putting the napkins down once more.

“ chto eto, syn moy?” Riley asked, assuming it was ‘work’ related.

Adrik shook his head at his mother's tone and use of Russian.

"It's not like that." He began before gesturing for them both to sit in the two closest chairs. He pulled out a chair for his mother first before taking a seat in the one right next to it. He turned to face her more properly. "I wanted to talk to you about Asha." He said, trying to keep from being too loud.

“Da, what about her?” Riley asked, leaning in, not knowing what to expect.

Adrik flushed a bit and grinned giddily like a lovesick schoolboy, which, was very much exactly what he was in all matters regarding Asha forever and always. He leaned in a bit to match his mother.

"I was thinking...I want to propose." He said.

Riley made a slight face.

“Hm, is that so? You don’t think it’s too soon?” Riley asked.

Adrik furrowed his brow. This was not the reaction he wanted or expected from Riley. He shared everything with his mom, especially his joys, so he was very much accustomed to her, well, being happy for him.

“Well...don’t you think that it’s actually been too long? I mean...I’ve loved her since we were kids. I’ve known I wanted to marry her since then too.” He said. “Do you think it’s too soon?”

“I will always be honest with you my son,” Riley began, settling into her seat. “I don’t worry about the intensity or longevity of your love, I am concerned about hers for you.” Riley explained.

Adrik’s expression fell even further, he almost looked like a kicked puppy.

“You don’t...you don’t think she’ll stay in love?” He asked.

“I don’t know, my love, please don’t look so sad. I could be wrong, I just...After all this time? I wonder why now?” Riley tried to explain her concerns. She hated to see Adrik hurt, especially by her own doing. But she’s not one to hide her honest thoughts and feelings. “I know you loved Asha practically since she was born, you’ve always looked at her with such adoration since that first moment you laid eyes on her...I want to know her adoration matches yours, do you have any doubts about that?” Riley asked.

Adrik, with his brows still pinched, looked to Asha and gave a little shake of his head.

"I don't." He told her before taking a beat to formulate his thoughts. "I know that Asha has not always loved me the same way I love her. I was always so sure of how much I loved her, I never doubted it even as I got older and tried to date other girls, but she...well, it took her time to come around. It took you awhile to come around with Papa too, right? He always tells us that he knew he loved you from the moment he saw you too. I know it's not the same...but you love him still, don't you? All these years later?"

“It’s a little different with Papa and I,” Riley began, looking to her respective partner as well. “But yes, he’s the only one for me.” She answered before taking a thoughtful pause and looking back to her son, she sighed softly and took one of his hands.

“If you're sure of her heart, I trust your judgment. You have my blessing, you’ll make an amazing husband. Maybe as good as Papa.” She said, smiling then.

“I can only try. He is a pretty good husband to you from what I’ve seen.” Adrik said, smiling then as well. “Should we round them back up for dinner? Did you need help with anything?” He asked, already perked back up it would seem.

“No, everything is pretty much set. The food will be brought out, all that’s left to do is eat.” Riley answered with a soft smile.

((FF))

It had been a few weeks since Adrik had spoken with his mother regarding his intent to propose to Asha and while he was so very eager to do just that, he thought that it was necessary to pump the brakes a bit and do things in order, which meant he needed to speak with Asha’s father, Navrik, for the sake of getting his blessing.

Adrik wasn’t quite sure, at first, when and how he would get Asha’s father alone to ask for his blessing, but a few days prior Asha had created an opportunity when she asked him to go back to her family home to celebrate Navrik’s birthday, or his “sorta” birthday at least. He quickly agreed to going with her, though it meant staying the night because the ride was too far to go to and fro easily.

So, there they were, in the back of one of the town cars with their duffles, driving their way into the boonies where Asha grew up.

“Are you sure KNOBS is what he wants?” Adrik asked, still skeptical of the gift Asha had picked out.
