[This is definitely a voice she's been hoping to hear. She smiles, glad to know that he hasn't forgotten this place. Or, at least, it doesn't sound like he had.]

Hey, Nico! Please tell me you remember Ariel or this is going to be an awkward conversation.

[zombiedude]

[He smiles wryly and gives a light dry chuckle.] I never left. It's been about four months since I first arrived.

[nice_pipes]

Half praise to the gods, then.

[The other half isn't deserved since they're here in the first place.]

Edmund still here, too?

[zombiedude]

[Oh boy. Here we go.]

Yeah, he is.

[nice_pipes]

[She hears that fondness, di Angelo, don't think she doesn't!!]

Spill! Or do I have to ask Edmund myself?

[zombiedude]

We started dating. I live with him now. And... he proposed to me a couple weeks ago.

[nice_pipes]

[Processing that last part....

Piper sounds like she's choking on water. Which she is because she totally doesn't expect the proposal part when she's having a drink of water.]

OH MY GODS!

[She blushes slightly at her shouting. Piper tries again, quieter this time, but no less happy and excited for him. From her brief time of knowing Nico, she trusts him to know when he's ready for things like this. She believes his judgment is sound, so....]

Oh my gods! Details, di Angelo! Where's the ring? How did it happen? Any plans? Anything I can help with?

[zombiedude]

[He'll get to the other details in a bit but for now he just holds up his left hand and wiggles his fingers, showing where Edmund's signet ring lies instead of his usual skull ring as he grins.]

[nice_pipes]

[Piper looks like she doesn't know what to do with her hands, whether to keep them still or flail them around like out of some Japanese cartoon.]

You gave him your ring? Oh my gods, you two are such romantics.

[zombiedude]

He gave me something of his from home and it was one of the few things I had he could wear. [He confesses a bit sheepishly, because yeah, giving Edmund a skull ring for an engagement ring seems a bit silly, but, well.]

He asked on our first month anniversary. It probably seems a little crazy... but marriage doesn't exist here so there aren't really any plans for anything and we're both 16... It was more of a promise to each other than anything else.

[nice_pipes]

[She is pouring herself some tea while she talks right now.]

Hey, when it comes to this stuff, I think you're good at judging when you're ready to do something. If you think you're ready for that kind of commitment, then I say go for it.

[Piper chuckles a little as she sits down.]

In lieu of my mom, I give you my blessing, if that counts for anything.

[zombiedude]

Thanks, Piper. You and Jason are welcome to stop by whenever so Jason can meet him and you can see him again.
