Kaveh & Alhaitham
Invite you to share our joy
June 18th
Latrommi (Ignore the fact that it says Eltrut shhh)]

This is Alhaitham.

Kaveh and I are hosting a celebration as detailed above. RSVP with him if you wish to attend so that we can make the necessary arrangements. You may also do the same with me, but note that I have changed my shellphone ID to the one you currently see.

[...and yeah he's just gonna end it there. Eloquent as always, huh?]

[legendofthelion]

[That was... fast?]

Wow. Congratulations?

un: vulturvolans

[indispensable]

[A lot of things happened in the background Dehya, don't worry about it.]

Thank you.

You're invited, of course, though I understand if you do not wish to attend.

[He's not gonna force anyone who is uncomfortable, least of all his bestie(tm).]

[legendofthelion]

[She was there for some of those things.]

No way am I missing it. We'd be having words if I wasn't invited.

[indispensable]

Good. [Dehya is one of the few who Alhaitham would like to see in the event.] Let me know if you have any preference for food. A good part of it should be familiar to you, but we'll do our best to accommodate for the majority.

[Can you believe people here can't eat spice, Dehya. The travesty.]

[legendofthelion]

[Does their name start with K, just asking.]

Guess it'd be hard to get ajilenakh nuts but any dessert is the right way to end a meal. And maybe tandoori?

[indispensable]

[Not just Kaveh but other people too. Like Lyney.]

We could probably try to find something similar to candied ajilenakh nuts. Tandoori will be available.

[legendofthelion]

Sounds good to me. Looking forward to it.

[indispensable]

I'll see you then.

[Though he won't be surprised if he will get to see Dehya before as well. She is the bestie(TM) after all.]

un: paradisaea

[empyrean_mirror]

I didn't see any reason to be slow about it.

[They've done enough of that.]

[legendofthelion]

You're a lot more confident about this than before. [From "I don't deserve him" and all. Does Kaveh even remember that.]

I'm happy for you two. Oh but how much do we need to dress up? I've got to do some shopping.

[empyrean_mirror]

...He told me the answer before he even knew it himself. Even I'm not enough of an idiot to ignore that forever, Dehya.

[I mean, he could have. He still doesn't deserve this man. But--he's tired of fighting it, too.]

Now, my answer to that question depends entirely on how much you enjoy getting dressed up.

[legendofthelion]

[Most people still wait longer than a week to get married. But she's already got the idea these two are stubborn.]

I'll even help with the makeup if you want. Just maybe nothing TOO expensive? The money here is good but not that good.

[empyrean_mirror]

[Most people probably don't already live together and do 80% of all activities as a unit, either.]

I can cover that, but I won't say no to a shopping trip either way.

[legendofthelion]

How much you still need to get? This is pretty quick for a wedding.

[empyrean_mirror]

the seamstress promised me she could get the suits done, but I'll need to find a good substitute for henna, or fish henna berries out of the rift myself. I need to find catering and also a good place to order a cake--apparently that's more traditional here--but the people on Latrommi said they could handle arranging for most of the venue.

Ah, and I need to finish the rings, but that's almost done anyway. So really, I just need to find accessories I like and whatever ones I can convince Alhaitham to put up with for a day.

[legendofthelion]

That still sounds like a lot. Let me look into the henna. There's gotta be something similar.

[empyrean_mirror]

I hope so. It's silly, but even as a kid I used to dream about the designs I'd have drawn on my hands.

Well, I guess in this case I'll be drawing them on Alhaitham's hands?

[legendofthelion]

Wouldn't you both be getting something anyway?

[empyrean_mirror]

Well, yes, but I can't draw on my own hands, can I? So I'd be drawing on his.

[legendofthelion]

But that doesn't have anything to do with the designs on YOUR hands. Right?

Shouldn't Alhaitham's be his own idea?

[Let him integrate sacabambaspis into his design.]

[empyrean_mirror]

...Yes.

[He is going to find a way to make those little fuckers gorgeous.]

[legendofthelion]

Soooo are you gonna let him draw on your hands or you need someone to handle you.

[empyrean_mirror]

oh god

i'm gonna have to give him strict instructions

[legendofthelion]

You know you have ways to make this easier for yourself.

[Like, ask for help.]

[empyrean_mirror]

but it's more romantic if he does my hands too...

[Dehya he's hopeless.]
