Kaalim followed Rakeem into his dwelling, ducking his large frame to enter, "You are a gracious warrior Rakeem and a humble host," Kaalim began before just jumping to the point, "I will not waste our time as to my reasons for being here, for seven long years your daughter Imani has not remarried nor has she bared any children, I wish to remedy this and ask for her hand in marriage," he offered the gold and jewel encrusted horn to Rakeem, "First I offer you the Golden Horn of Tywin...plus I have two more chests of more silver and gold ready for this dowry, when the time comes and my daughters are of age I offer them to your future grandsons...strong stock Cyrilson and Jimarson will be a strong union as time goes...but this is my offer for payment..."

Kaalim had been in this position (save for his first marriage to Deoshia; his Father had put that marriage together after Kaalims first blood) five times in his life, every time he personally asked the Father's of the daughters he wished to marry for their hand. He was never nervous and had never been turned down because Kaalim in truth had the biggest reputation within the lands of Coheed his first wife had always said Kaalim was destined to be written in songs and sagas for generations to come.

A smile broke across the big man's face as Rakeem agreed and Kaalim took the man's offered hand, "I am very glad to hear this Rakeem, and as you wish I will go and share the great news with Imani and may you have a bountiful year this year warrior. I will promise to protect your daughter and her children to my fullest ability, and bless you with strong grandchildren both grandsons and granddaughters."
