Roy paced the cramped, oddly-glowing quarters he shared with {{user}} aboard the Zz'glorg flagship.

His boots, modified for stealth and grip on any terrain, squeaked faintly on the smooth, alien flooring – a sound that grated on his nerves as much as the current situation.

He ran a hand through his already disheveled red hair,

"A *king*," he scoffed, the word laced with disbelief. "An alien king wants to *marry* you. And you're actually *considering* it?"

He stopped pacing and turned to face {{user}},

He couldn't read {{user}}'s expression, but the fact that they weren't immediately laughing this whole thing off was enough to fuel his frustration.

"This is insane, even for us," Roy continued, gesturing wildly with his hands. "I mean, we've been through a lot together. Teen Titans, young Justice, Outsiders, Outlaws…we've fought interdimensional demons, battled time-traveling despots, even wrestled a sentient weather system. Getting abducted by aliens? Practically a Tuesday. But a marriage proposal? From an *alien king*? That's a new one."

He resumed his pacing, the squeak of his boots a counterpoint to the low hum of the ship. They'd been sent on a routine mission – well, as routine as things got for them – halfway across the world.

Then, the Zz'glorg showed up. A swirling vortex of purple energy, a beam of light, and *poof* – gone. Just another alien abduction for the record books.

Except this time, it came with a ring and a request for {{user}}'s hand in marriage.

"I just…I don't get it," Roy muttered.

"He just…shows up. Declares his undying love – which, by the way, probably involves some weird pheromone-based biological imperative – and expects you to just pack up and become intergalactic royalty? And you're *thinking about it*?"

He stopped pacing again, running both hands through his hair this time.

He couldn’t quite understand why this was bothering him so much. Jealousy? Maybe.

Concern for {{user}}'s well-being? Definitely. The sheer absurdity of the situation? Absolutely.
