He was not nervous about what he had to ask the man, because simply put this was only a custom among his own people, and he was not even sure if this was shared with the people from Iceberg. "I have something delicate I would like to discuss with you, perhaps we could find a table for a drink? My treat."
I'd like your permission [Brone]

His name was called, to which caught his attention and as he turned, he realized it was the Red Warrior of lightning and thunder, "Sir Knuckles!" he was excited to see the mighty warrior. Brone took his hand into his and provided a strong squeeze in respect as he looked up to the tall red haired man who towered over him, "Ye look as strong and tall as the mighty redwood tree" he couldn't help but grin, "Sure, let's get a drink" he said while gesturing or the man to lead the way.

Still, as the pair entered the idle chatter and low roar from all voices talking at once started to die off as everyone took in the two. Wishpers of Brone Heavyaxe were muttered and weileder of Mjolnir, though a few said softly though he could hear them that he didn't deserve such weapons. Knuckles did not let it bother him, all were welcome to try and take it if they so thought they were worthy of Thor's power.
Once they were settled for a few seconds Knuckles smiled as he looked across to Brone. "So happy to be back in the motherland?"

They sat by the stone fireplace to which the ashen-skin dwarf felt great comfort, "Seems anyone associated with Lumikki tend to have a raven companion" Brone pointed at the raven on the warrior's shoulder.
"What ya'll have?" the redhaired barmaid came up to them without a notepad, but with great confidence and attitude. At first Brone had assumed she was irritable, but seeing the slight smile on her face, he grinned widely, "No discounts; don't care if ye be famous or not" she added before Brone said a word.
Brone chuckled for a second before answering. "Brandy, homemade".
The barmaid nodded before turning to Knuckles.

Knuckles returned his focus to Brone once more. "I am not sure how this kind of thing works here in Iceberg, what I need to do, or how I need to earn the right to do this. Where I am from though we sit down on one with the father of the woman and ask for his permission to Marry their Daughter. Knuckles paused for a moment as he wanted Brone to understand what it was that he was asking. "Now I know her father is not the one I need to ask given her history nor do I think I could ask him. So Brone, I come to you her Uncle, I seek your permission to take her hand in Marriage. To make her a mother of demons. I Promise to protect and provide for her as a Husband should. However, I also understand if you say no. Given that though." he paused once more his eyes and face taking a serious look. "I wish to do it by the cultural standards of your people as well as to not disrespect anyone. Will you teach me the ways of the Iceberg People?"

The dwarf sat there, his lips parted as he was trying to figure out what to say, what to feel, how to express himself. This was a surprise indeed; he crossed his arms and looked Knuckles in his eyes while thinking. At first he was concerned whether or not they were old enough to marry, but remembered quickly that not only is Lumikki an adult now, but she and Knuckles are indeed in love. Then he thought about the fact that Knuckles has shown himself to be a strong warrior with great honor as well as a defender for her.
Brone hummed as his thoughts raced; his mind filling with questions such as if this would limit themselves. Then he suddenly stopped humming as he came to a decision, "Aye, ye have me blessing, Knuckles" he smiled, "There's no complicated formality for asking for permission, but it is the ceremony that needs to be focused on" Brone at this point was getting excited as he leaned forward in his chair, "Yer need an elder or champion to consecrate the marriage and most importantly... Yer need a strong cord for the handfasting"
The dwarf had an idea on how to create a powerful cord for the ritual, "Aye! The cord of fate is te represent yer bond to one another and this cord will be crafted with the greatest of materials" Brone clenched his fists as he went through the crafting process in his forge... but he'll need the base material which may be tricky to acquire. He leaned back in his chair as he pondered how in the world he would get that material.
The barmaid returned and placed the brandy and the wine on the table, "Enjoy, lads" she gave a smile before leaving, but Brone was still deep in thought.

Knuckles then lifted the hammers of thor and sat them on the table. "I know these are for combat do you think I could use them to smith with? And would you teach me the ways so I may forge these rings myself?"

The dwarf then pulled out a pair of metal blacksmith tongs that were etched in runes. He placed them on the table before the warrior, "The first is the easiest; go to a cold flat plain and wait for the sun to go over the horizon; the moment the sun vanishes, ye'll see the orange glow stretching all along the horizon, grab it with those tongs" He then took another swig to allow Knuckles to process the fact that the dwarf was asking him to collect unnatural materials, "The second, much more difficult; when lightning strikes, it connects the sky and the ground where it hits, grab it at that exact moment before it vanishes" he gave a wide smile with his teeth showing, trying to hold back a laughter; though he was giggling, he was very much serious about these materials, "And lastly is the toughest one" Brone sighed and dropped his smile, knowing this may be too difficult to acquire, for the warrior may have to travel far for this "Collect a strand from the Web of Fate... from the Wyrd itself".
After taking another swig, he wiped his mouth with the back of his hand before turning back to Knuckles with a stern look, "Ye bring me those three strands, and ye proven te the whole clan ye worthy of her hand, no one, not even me cousin, can deny ye".

"With that out the way Brone, what have you been up to, clashed with any worthy contenders lately?" Knuckles was looking for new warriors for two reasons. One to fight them himself and to recruit them.

"Not recently, no, but there is a Rune Knight, 'Toga' I think his name be, I hear he scaled the ranks and seems promising, so I aim to seek him out and test his mettle and prowess" Brone said as he lowered his mug from his lips. Huginn and Muninn, his ravens had whispered Toga's name into their ears when he began pondering of the Rune Knights and whether or not they were strong enough to properly protect the nation of Fiore. Now he wants to test them to make sure they had what it took. "And what about ye, Knuckles?"
