[There's that prick of pain when he sees those tears flow freely and he quickly tries to catch them with either his fingertips or his lips, wanting to comfort her. Sensing how much she wants this as much as him only makes that ache stronger and again he considers just tossing reason and sensibility out the window.]
Last thing I want is a world threat crashing our wedding.
[A small, light attempt at a joke, though that really is something of a threat. But most of all, he wants to ensure they have a life of peace and quiet. Sure there's the world's nightmares to contend with, but that's like dealing with natural disasters. That's just a part of this world they can't change and for the most part hasn't been trying to corrupt other worlds so it's a more manageable worry.]
...But as tempting as it is... [Tempting to ask her right here, right now.] I only want the best for you. So while I can't give you a proper proposal now...
[He pulls back enough so he can once again stare deeply into her eyes.]
I promise you will have one soon.
[When he feels certain steps have been taken, certain talks have happened. They could even continue right now, but given how Tifa seems to be, maybe it's better to take it slowly. They've already passed the first step, the rest can be discussed in due time.
And while he would rather deal with the Story Eater, as he said it's ideal. At this rate he might become impatient and just do it anyway, but—not right this moment. He wants to give her the best and that includes the right preparations and timing.]
