Professor! So, this is where you went off to.

Ashe
volume_up

You've been working so hard, you deserve a break. Is there any way I can lighten the load?
link
Ashe
volume_up

Maybe, but I'm sure there's more I could do.
link
Ashe
volume_up

Easier said than done! Anyone can tell you're pretty worn out. It's practically written on your face.
link
Ashe
volume_up

You need all the rest you can get. It's only going to get more hectic from here.
link
Ashe
volume_up

Even I'm tired, and I haven't done nearly as much. It's been a long struggle.
link
Ashe
volume_up

Yeah...
link
Ashe
volume_up

Really? At times I felt like the war would never end.
link
Ashe
volume_up

So many people have died. And far too many of them were civilians.
link
Ashe
volume_up

But with the state we're in now, it might actually be the survivors who have it hardest.
link
Ashe
volume_up

I want to help them. Like Lonato helped me.
link
Ashe
volume_up

And now that I'm a knight, I feel like I actually can.
link
Ashe
volume_up

Definitely! When I'm by your side, I'm full of hope for the future.
link
Ashe
volume_up

And on that note...there's something I've been meaning to give you.
link
This is...
link
Ashe
volume_up

I want to be with you for the rest of my life.
link
Ashe
volume_up

I want to be there for every important moment. Every smile. Every hardship.
link
Ashe
volume_up

I know I'm just a commoner and nothing special.
link
Ashe
volume_up

I know I don't have a Crest or a prestigious family legacy. And I've done things I'm not proud of.
link
Ashe
volume_up

But if you'd be willing to look past all that...I also know we'd be great together.
link
You mean...
link
Ashe
volume_up

Yes! Sorry, I'm...I'm struggling for the right words.
link
Ashe
volume_up

It's funny. I've rehearsed this so many times.
link
Ashe
volume_up

But when the moment actually came, it all just ran right out of my head.
link
Ashe
volume_up

What I mean to say is... I love you and I want to marry you.
link
I feel the same way.
link
Ashe
volume_up

You have a ring for me too?! Am I dreaming?
link
Ashe
volume_up

You really feel the same way about me...
link
Ashe
volume_up

Sorry, I'm kind of giddy. This doesn't feel real.
link
Ashe
volume_up

To go from a life of stealing on the streets, to marrying a wonderful person like you...
link
Ashe
volume_up

Am I even allowed to be this happy? I'm worried it could all come crashing down at any moment.
link
Ashe
volume_up

Even so, as long as we're together, I think I can handle just about anything.
link
Ashe
volume_up

You're right. We should enjoy what we have, for as long as we have it.
link
Ashe
volume_up

I'm looking forward to our future.
link
Ashe
volume_up

I know I have my shortcomings, but I promise you I'll do everything I can to make you happy!
