Upon seeing Imani and how she looked a bright smile greeted her, Ateppa would lead Imani in leaving the children (all giggles and wonder) at the greenhouse entrance. Ateppa kissed her husband once on the cheek and then on the lips, "Kaalim isn't she beautiful," and Ateppa would indicate for Imani to sit and Kaalim followed into he chair across from her, "Very breathtaking love," Ateppa poured them both wine, "Dinner will be served soon," she paused to kiss Imani on the cheek whispering in her ear, "You are absolutely gorgeous tonight..." and she departed with the children behind.

Kaalim reached across the small table for her hand (his was already very large), "Thank you for coming, you are...you are stunning..."

When she asked about her Father his own tender smirk spread across his face, "I have," the tips of his fingers skimmed lightly over the soft flesh on her arm, "and he gave us his blessing and all of this was for me," he sank off the large chair (all of his chairs were bigger made to support such a large man) dropping down beside Imani on both his knees, "to ask you Imani...daughter of Rakeem Jimarson...sister warrior of the Parabolti, will you be my wife?" happy earth brown eyes found hers and locked in, his tone was sweet and full of affection a affection he wished to share with her.

She had said and he had pressed his head lightly against hers before she kissed him, and Kaalim melted into her kiss in return. His hand fell away from her hand and onto her waist as he pressed the kiss deeper and oh how did she taste so sweet? How after all these years most of their lives had he feigned for this one kiss this one moment with Imani? To long.

Kaalim wore equally a big smile when she pulled away, his hands cupping both sides of her face thumbs gently rubbing over freckles he loved the freckles. He loved her and had for a long time.

"I remember the first time I saw you Imani, your smile makes the sun jealous even now you are the brightest," he wanted to say all the things he hadn't, "My Parabolti...I've wanted you from the moment I saw you and loved you from so far...my heart rejoices in this moment and beyond that Imani. Your children will be loved as though they are mine own..."

The more wives a man had the bigger the celebration was in Coheed, a strong heritage in fact this would possibly be the biggest one of all.

"That is music to my ears and a poem to my heart," he smiled reaching up with his large hands to cup both sides of her cheeks and he kissed her softly before just rest his forehead against hers, "Ateppa and the older children have already began making room for you and the kids...we have a wedding celebration to plan," he pulled back standing and if she allowed him he would pull her up and into him where he would wrap his arms around her, big strong arms bulging with proud muscles, "I have asked all my wives this same question, tell me some expectations of this union that you require of me..."
