[ Hello, everyone. Tonight, Kanan's surroundings look a little... different than usual. He's definitely not in Florida. Instead, he's in what appears to be the warm and cozy kitchen of a warm and cozy log cabin, probably in a snowy forest somewhere, like something out of a fairy tale. A nice, romantic one, anyway.

He's seated at the kitchen table, mask off, face bare as his hands cradle a mug of something hot - cocoa, or coffee, or tea. He looks thoughtful. ]


So, I'm not usually the sort to do stuff like this, but I'm - hm. [ He scratches absently at his beard. ]

I don't really have anyone I can ask, privately. So I guess I'm gonna just put it out there. I want to do something for the person I love. I want to show her - you know. I want to show her.

[ He waves a hand vaguely at the surroundings. ] We got out of town for a bit, but I don't know. I guess I'm hunting for more ideas. More than just... buying a gift.

Time together is always a decent start I find...especially if it allows for privacy you normally do not have.

What would you have done for her if you were not here--if you were home?

The question of the century, my dude. [Major's expression is pleasant and friendly, but empathetic because .. he's dealing with something very similar himself.] So, you took a vacation together. That's always nice. What about doing activities together? Either .. something the other person really likes or something neither of you have done but have always wanted to try?

So you are lost without even experience for guidance...I see.

I believe that actions often speak louder than words, personally. You have already taken her somewhere new, but there are things you can do for her--with her. Spend time with her, as you couldn't back home...

Perhaps take the time to know one another again, in a setting that allows it.

I'm so glad she's back.

[Hera and Jyn both.]

I owe you thanks and an apology. I don't know how much help I can be with this, but…

Did she have a favorite place, old galaxy? A planet or…?

This planet has such diverse environments, might be able to find somewhere to visit that's reminiscent.

An engagement ring. Perhaps?

I don't know if I agree. But thank you, Kanan.

[He doesn't have to agree to understand Kanan means it and be grateful. Whatever he has to grapple with there is for elsewhere and others.]

That sounds good.

I suppose there's… there are commitment rituals… I'm always dubious about the balance of offering oneself versus seeming to ask or expect in return. But you could give her something that's symbolic of your commitment. A constant token of one another to carry through your life. They use jewelry here, like a lot of places.

[Yeah, he knows the terms "marriage" and "engagement" and "rings" and stuff. Those aren't the only incarnations of the idea. His own willingness to wear Kay's tracking device qualifies as much as how he'd been hanging on to Jyn's pendant. (While of course there being differences.)]

[He smiles, nodding.] That's a really thoughtful gift.

Well, it doesn't have to be anything like the X-GAMES or whatever. It could be something really mild, like .. a cooking class you take together. Or, if they have them here, those like .. paint nite things, where you drink and try to paint the same picture. Dancing lessons?

Marriage, of course! Isn't it the best way to show your devotion and commitment to someone?

[ Laughing a little, happy for him. ]

I take it the vacation is going well.

Marriage is usually a big way to show it.

But truthfully, not everyone is ready for that. So there are always things like a vacation together, somewhere you know it'll touch her.
