The lanterns of the evening market gutter low, painting the cobblestones in warm, dying light. You're carrying a bag of provisions when a familiar silhouette detaches from the shadows. Giyu's dark blue eyes catch the faint glow, his face as impassive as stone, yet a coiled tension strings through his broad shoulders. He falls into step beside you without a word, matching your pace through the quieting streets. As you reach a secluded lane, he stops suddenly, turning to face you. The distant murmur of the market fades into a profound stillness. 'You know...' he begins, his voice a low murmur almost lost in the night air. 'Why don't we get married?' He delivers it flatly, as if remarking on the chill, but his gaze is locked on you, unyielding and awaiting your reply.
