Parental Permission

"You want to WHAT!?" Inigo winced from Senri's raised voice.

The white haired Mercenary knew this kind of reaction would come out of the usually subtle Tactician. I mean, anyone would have the same reaction if someone were asking them permission to have their child's hand in marrage.

Inigo was doing just that.

"What makes you think I would say yes to your proposal?" Senri's voice changed to a rather low one that caught Inigo off guard. He knew the Tactician was fairly protective of his amnesiac daughter but this?

Inigo swallowed as he tried his best to put up a front while meeting Senri's fierce eyes. He wasn't going to give up yet.

"I...I'm truly in love with her. Yes, I always go around chasing other woman but Morgan...She's just so different from anyone I've met," the pale haired man tried his best to bring out his words. He was being very honest about this. He really fell in love with the Tactician's daughter and he fell hard. Truly, even the most gorgeous of women can throw themselves at Inigo and he would always choose Morgan over them.

Senri wasn't believing much of the Mercenary's word due to his philander ways. However, he could see the small glint of honesty in the pale man's chocolate eyes but he wasn't gonna let him off the hook just yet...

"Why should I believe that you'll surely change your flirtacious ways and stay absolutely loyal to my daughter?" Ouch, now that hit a nerve! Inigo winced at that statement. He was near that point of no return where just about all the current Shepherds wouldn't believe that Inigo would change his skirt chasing ways.

But..

"Truthfully, Morgan is the only person who comes to my mind as of late. She's done so much for me that's really got me thinking...and it feels strange now to just see her a only a friend..."

Senri could only blink. This man. The very same man who flirted with every future girl at camp, who even flirted with his own wife...

The Tactician never seen or heard of this side of Inigo before.

Oddly enough, it was both pleasent and frightening...

"Well you surely have my permission," a new voice caught the two males off guard as they look towards the tent flap.

"L-Lucina!?" Senri stumbled upon seeing his wife.

The sapphire haired princess smiled. "Inigo, I give you permission to take Morgan's hand in marriage. I believe you'll take care of her and love her with all your heart."

The two males were rather surprised. They honestly thought that Lucina would put up a fight before she would ever agree to Inigo marrying her daughter.

The white haired Mercenary could only nod with a genuine smile before turning back to Senri, awaiting for an answer.

The platinum haired man looked at the younger once more before sighing. "If even Lucina's able to see the truth in you, who am I to argue? For that, you have my permission."

Inigo's eyes widened as he looked at the two before smiling once more with a light red blush. "T-thank you! Both of you! I-I promise you won't regret your decision."

With that, the white haired man decided to take his leave in search of the sapphire haired amnesiac.

Senri gave a curious look to his wife. "What was it that made you give him permission?"

Lucina gave a light chuckle. "I know Inigo. He had never been so desperate in asking for a girl's hand in marriage to ask the parents first. Also, I've never seen him so in love with any woman. Sure, he always has his secrets, but overall, he truly is honest with his feelings."

The platinum blonde took in the words before nodding. "The spark in his eyes gave it all away."

A/N: Woah hey!! Sorry if this was shorter than the last. I thought it was better being short. Anyway, I always thought Senri would be more unwilling to give Inigo permission to marry Morgan while Lucina would be the opposite. Given that Lucina is familiar with the future children, it would be expected she would know how they act.

Any, maybe I'll write more soon. For now, time to eat some breakfast!! :D
