I suppose I would have to adopt a tradition from one of the cultures here, then!
I would rather follow tradition back home, but neither his parents nor any of my property are here.

"His". [ Well, okay, he's got no room to judge. ]
Unfortunately, I haven't any advice on the matter myself. Perhaps the city library might have books that could advise you on the matter.

He's very male, yes.
I suppose I could do that.

I see. Such a thing is uncommon in my home universe.
Although come to think of it, I believe the common practice where I am from is to simply ask whether or not the other person will accept being wed to you. Is that perhaps too forward for your tastes?

...Why?
It is not but I think I should present something to him at least.

Well where I come from usually people just ask. I know it's traditional for guy to ask the girl, but as I can see here, that doesn't really apply. My brother's boyfriend just asked him, but it's a bit more complex than that with vampires.
I don't know how or if people are using them that way, but I know there are Link charms at Rakettear that join two people together. I think that's the closest we could come to a Rakuen-exclusive tradition.

I cannot say. It's not something I've ever considered.
Ah, yes. That's a good point. What sorts of offerings are customary to your land?

Typically, I would be offering a dowry of land to his parents. That is... difficult here.
:O

I do not want him to feel like he is cheap.
We have already done that a week ago.

Of course! Everybody is invited!
It will be a merry celebration for all!
Well, he hasn't said yes yet, and I don't know how to propose, let alone throw a party without the luxuries I had as King.
Perhaps we should ask the mayor then. He would know this land's traditions more than anyone, I would think.
Wait. I don't know what a mayor is.

i think you have to get down on one knee and offer him a ring!
but maybe you should also offer him a link charm too?

We are already linked, I do not have to worry about that.
But. Hm, a ring, you say? Is that common from where you are from?
She sounds like a splendid lady.
Perhaps we can converse with her after work.

It may seem silly, but here's kind of what I think about getting engaged to someone. I come from a world where there's no exchanging of property per se, just a more symbolic gesture of giving someone a usually rather expensive ring.
When you get engaged to someone, even if you're not giving them something of physical value, you're offering them yourself, something of great emotional value. Or so I'd hope, if he feels the same way.
But if you're set on something, I think something that's important to the both of you is more effective than something expensive.

But I do not know him that well.
I hope to get to know him better through marriage, however.

Oh, I see.
I'm used to waiting a bit longer. It's more typical to me for people to get to know each other for a couple of years before they get married. But shorter dating periods aren't uncommon.

"Dating periods".
Do you mean we should wed during certain period dates?

I don't understand what this has to do with excrement fornicating with its mother, but I have decided I would like to marry Sir David.
Do not worry. I don't harbor similar feelings for you. Our relationship is strictly friends-only.

I know some nobles marry old, but not all of them do. I sincerely want to marry "older you". I thought you would at least be supportive.
Again with that word.
"Datey".
Are you going to marry Jade as well?
