"The dots, huh?"
"Well, you are not very 'incredible' in the things of the heart. And even if that were not the case, I'm sure you would want your Kal to have the best options free to her—as much as possible."
"Doesn't she have that already?"
"You are really something. If for anything, you are most likely why your Kal remains hesitant. Given your status, I'm not sure she expects you to do anything. But still, the heart wants to put out for as much as it can. Isn't life a beautiful thing?"
It wasn't a question—just a fellow reminiscing about his own life rather than the one he was speaking to.
Kunku stood speechless for a while, his eyes sad, though he did not show it. "All this said, I'm yet to see how it's a proposal—or how it relates to you and your people."
Ckain nodded. "Yeah, I wanted to see how it related to my people too—and our rise. Then I thought, if there's anything that's going to cause our rise through you, then it has to do with acknowledged power."
