[ he gets it, he so gets it. even if it wasn't obvious, the subject of marriage has been on his mind of late since his girlfriend...kinda...brought it up. ]
[ kitty is, he's a little slower. he wants to go home and actually live just the two of them in one apartment without a ton of shipmates and the threat of everything being ripped away from them at any time first... ]
Still counts as her style...
[ he looks closely at the rings. the only jewelry he bought kitty was a locket, so he's not exactly an expert here either. he tries to picture raven in his mind's eye, and think what would best suit her. ]
[ten years ago that's all Hank wanted, too. This is ten - no, twenty years in the making. Even if they didn't exactly reconcile back home, but details.
Hank has never bought jewelry, but of all the people he could go to for advice, Winn was the first who came to mind. He stares down the third one, nodding slowly]
[ raven will be the judge of whether or not they got her taste right. but he's got a feeling raven wouldn't really care as much about what the ring looks like. ]
[he knows Raven won't care what the ring looks like, and that there's more to it than that, but Hank will still panic over it til the very last moment]
I - yeah, sort of. I mean - I was planning to do it New Years' Eve. I figured . . . starting the year off with something good couldn't hurt.
[ it's ok, hank, winn would fret in your shoes too. ]
Nice, I like that. [ nudging, means he doesn't have to wait too long, what. oh yeah, it's also sweet and romantic and all that. ] But not set on the where?
Ah - no, not the where just yet. [he rubs at the side of his neck in his usual fidgety gesture] I've been looking around for a place - something nice, but private too? But not - our room, or anything like that.
Even if she were...it's as private as it can get, and you can't beat that view. You can grab a bottle of champagne, I got an electric candle if you wanna create some mood lighting - it's pretty damn romantic.
[ it's where he'd do it, if he were in the proposing stage. ]
Mood lighting - [he and Raven used to crack jokes about not knowing what that meant] I - that might work? I mean - going out there is a good idea, I don't know about - mood lighting, though.
Does nausea count as a right feeling? Because that's the main thing I feel at the moment.
[it comes out a little flatly and clearly a joke, but. Well, it does make him so nervous that he feels sick when he puts too much thought into it. Like now]

She doesn't really wear jewelry, so - I'm not even sure what she likes. And - whatever I have seen her wear, she's shifted it herself.

I like the third one, it gives off a Raven vibe.

Then that's the one you get.
[ he pats his back ]
With something like this -- go with your gut.

Going with my gut backfires on me sometimes. That's why I went looking for a second opinion.
