[He doesn't need to hear anything back from her—her reaction is enough. It's enough to tell him that she understood and he also understands that if she does want to say anything, she doesn't want to here, either out of embarrassment or her own choice. He only said his own words because he felt like it and felt that it was a good opportunity to reassure her in case he didn't have another chance.
So there's just a light smile despite her answer that—wait what.]
The rings?
[He stares blankly at the friar who only nods.
"Yes, the rings. They should be in your pocket...?"
Again Eustace can only give a blank look before he glances back at Tifa. Rings? Really? Well suppose the scene would need them... So he slowly reaches into his pocket and feels a small pouch there, one so small and light it's no wonder he didn't notice. Pulling it out he hands the friar the black velvet pouch who then proceeds to open and pour the rings on his palm.
Handing one to Eustace, he continues to instruct him. "Put this on her ring finger and say, 'With this ring I thee wed.'"
Again, Eustace can only stare blankly at the friar before he looks again at Tifa.
...
....
......
Yes he still knows this isn't real, but why does it feel so real? It's because of Romeo...and the fact that he can feel the weight of that gold ring is real, or as real as it can be in a dream. Shake it off, Eustace, shake it off...
Taking her hand he slowly slides the ring onto her finger as he repeats the words in a low, quiet voice.]
...With this ring I thee wed...
[Once the ring is on he glances up at Tifa only to feel a ripple of embarrassment. Well at least proof right there he's not ready for the idea of marriage yet! Moving on with the relationship and maybe eventually get there, sure, marriage now, nope not yet. At the same time, looking at the ring on her finger.... It's not a terrifying thing, either.

No no, stopping the thoughts, it's Tifa's turn.]
