"You made a fruit?" How did that happen? Was it the same one Rey was holding? That's incredible!
But he was brought away from that discovery, attention swinging back to Rey quickly. His cheeks burned in... embarrassment? Delight? He cleared his throat and decided to avoid the first question for now.
"We... like you. We like you a lot, Rey. You deserve to be appreciated and loved. We have love and we want to share it. And... we might have thought of a way to ensure Demeter never bothers you again, or at least tries to force you to do something that you don't want to do."
He looked to Poe, unsure how to go about this, and decided to just spit it out. "We wanted to ask for your hand in marriage."
Okay. That was way too fast. "And! And- And if you didn't want to be with us, if you didn't see us the same way, that's okay. It's okay. We were thinking that maybe we could if we told Zeus we wanted to marry you, then he wouldn't let Demeter boss you around anymore. And if you didn't want to be with us, then we won't hold you to anything. You can do whatever you want, love whoever you want, it doesn't matter if we're married or not- Or we can just skip the marriage. We don't have to be married. We can think of something else. Right, Poe? We can think of something else?"

Wasn't he usually the one with the cooler head?
