Later that night, Thranduil and Oropher were reading some trade agreements, together.
"How are the Numenoreans, I hear their new king has completely cut ties with the eldar?" Thranduil asked
Oropher sighed heavily "I have a bad feeling, that king will really bring disaster to his own people. And maybe to us too" Oropher massaged his head
Thranduil went to his father, he took the paper in Oropher's hand, he then sat down next to his father and started massaging his hand "is it better?" Thranduil asked
Oropher smiled warmly "yes" He replied "I heard Verena, the apple girl is back, is that true?" Oropher asked
Thranduil nodded "hmm"
"Why haven't you asked her to meet me yet?"
"Should I?" Thranduil asked
"Yes, of course! Don't you like her?"
Thranduil looked up in surprise "how-"
"Don't lie to me, my little spring" Oropher poked Thranduil's nose "invite her to dinner at the palace, and then we will talk about marriage"
Thranduil choked "MARRIAGE! ADAR!"
Oropher glared "what?! I wasn't born yesterday, little spring. I am your father, I know you have wanted to marry her for a long time. Even if she didn't come back, I bet you would have sneaked into Lindon just to take her away" Oropher leaned back in the chair
Thranduil looked down in embarrassment
"Propose her when you're ready, and take her out for dinner"
"Adar..." Thranduil called softly
"Hmm?" he replied
"Would you allow? Me and her?"
Oropher furrowed his brows "why would I disagree? She's a smart girl, funny, clever, from a family of good people, and most of all...." Oropher took Thranduil's hand "she makes you comfortable"
Thranduil smiled
Oropher stood up, he opened a drawer, and took out a small maroon box "here" Oropher gave the box to Thranduil
"What's this?" Thranduil opened the box and there was a beautiful ring set with a beautiful emerald stone, and a gold ring carved like wood.
He glared "Adar. Isn't this Naneth's ring?" Thranduil asked
Oropher nods "yes. Give it to her as an engagement ring when you are ready"
Thranduil almost jumped for joy, he pulled his father into his arms and kissed his father on the cheek
Oropher was shocked "took you long to hug me and kiss me" He joked
Thranduil leaves, walks out
"Thranduil..." Oropher called out
Thranduil turned "Are you sure, she is the one?" Oropher asked firmly
"Yes, adar. She is the one"
