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?]

[ The present...

His response comes with a long pause. They did say they would create a life with each other, be it upon their realm or an entirely new one. Yet marriage back home had come with stipulations and laws and preserving of lineages. To think that they could possibly do such a thing here, with no strings attached... ]

Perhaps you're right.

[ It did get the wheels turning in his brain, after all. ]

Was it you who purposed the marriage?

[empyrean_mirror]

Yes. After all we'd been through to get here...I didn't see any reason to wait any longer.

[gruffier]

[ Damn hitting the nail on the head with that one. That gives him even greater pause, but this time he's able to quickly respond back. ]

You've faced much adversity. The both of you. You deserve this much, at least.

[empyrean_mirror]

it only took us ten years, right?

I don't think I'd have chosen to do it the way we did...but I'm glad we did, regardless.

[gruffier]

Time is never on our side, I'm afraid.

But you've chosen to do it, and I am happy for you.
