Perdix winced at the roar. By Sai, Nords were loud.

"Firstly", she said. "After fourteen years of being labeled as unknown in the clan books, we can confirm that lady Lilja Ghost-Wolf, my sister and your oathsworn, is alive and well." Perdix grinned at that.

"Don't forget how you knocked that Sturkas into his well-deserved grave, Matriarch!" shouted an unknown wisecrack from beyond the hall. "Hail Valkyrie, the Slayer of Bears!" confirmed another which gained some following laughters. "Yeah, she really fucked them Cave-Bears up good, didn't she?" He grinned at those too.

"Secondly. We won ourselves a fine victory today against this yet unidentified clan. Proving that even the unknown couldn't stand a chance against the combined forces of Clan Ghost-Wolf and Clan Bone Obelisk!" Hist-of-his-Kin raised his cup in salute, which caused the Argonians to slammer their hands down into the table and express their pride, rather loudly. Perdix at that as well.

"And thirdly", said Valkyrie and looked passionately at Perdix. In instant she turned to him, he knew what was coming. "I am proud to announce that the dark and unsure days of this clan are over. Your Matriarch has found herself a man worthy of her. And she hopes that she is just as worthy of him. Allow me to introduce Perdix, my husband-to-be and the future Patriarch of Clan Ghost-Wolf!"

Oh shit, I get a title?  Was the first thing that went through his mind.

The silence nearly killed him. Of course, he had expected nothing less, but she could have given him a cool title or something, like, "Lord Protector" or something. He sounded so... common. Which wasn't good.

Perdix wasn't sure whether he should avoid peoples stares or meet them. He was halfway tempted to just stare at his hands, but he doubted that would go over well for Valkyrie. And the last thing he wanted was for his cowardice to affect her. She deserved better. Should he heroically pretend the ceiling was very, very interesting, and then look down at his silverware and picked up each utensil and examine it.

Instead, he choose to look up at Valkyrie. She was the one speaking. His face felt hot. He hoped he wasn't blushing. That would be embarressing.
