Apologies for the delay. There were... ever the obstacles to overcome.

We would be delighted by your presence. All are welcomed.

Oh! Congratulations!

[Harding and Jill have only spoken briefly, but they have friends in common— and a wedding is always a happy occasion.]

I'll have to think of a good gift.

Congratulations. I am glad you are able to move forward together.

[ And not just because this means the pattern he's been seeing on the shellphone continues to go strong after questioning its validity after Clive left. No, he's truly happy for Jill; she regained Clive and their engagement is still going through, just more delayed than either of them likely expected. ]

[Once again... guess who was bullied into saying something.]

Congratulations once more. Hopefully it'll actually stick this time.

[Yeah he's getting an elbow jab for that one don't worry.]

[gruffier]

Perhaps I should have asked for another.

[gruffier]

Your kindness is much appreciated.

And as long as you don't plan on breaking anything, our doors are open to you.

[gruffier]

A barber?

[ Brb pausing to actually consider his appearance for a moment- ]

I... suppose it has been some time.

[beshackled]

I don't understand.

Are there people who make a habit of breaking things at public gatherings?

Do you need someone to guard the establishment to keep the people who break things out?

[ Though she may not know Clive or Jill, it's a public message and a joyous one that deserves more than a casual glance. ]

Congratulations to both of you! May your union be long and filled with happiness.

[ramuhs]

[WELL MAYBE IF A CERTAIN SOMEONE HADN'T SPOOKED THEM.]

I haven't the foggiest of what you're referring to 🙂

I noticed the invitation was about the reception, but what of the ceremony itself?

[ramuhs]

To preserve your dignity, I'll refrain from asking since how long here in public.

[Except he kind of did. On purpose.]

Do you have a suit?

[gruffier]

Even still, it is all we may hope for.

Do not feel the need to bring anything other than yourself.

[gruffier]

[ If only you could see the squint he just gave to his shellphone.... yeah, he noticed that. ]

At present, no. But I mean ask Joshua to accompany me.

Do you have a recommended barber?

[gruffier]

Considering the company this land tends to keep, I would say there is. I've had my fair share of encounters that resulted in the like.

[ So... maybe it was him breaking things in the end? OOPS. ]

If all goes as planned, there will be no need.

[gruffier]

Thank you.

Gifts won't be necessary... for me, of course. I'm certain I could put together something for Jill's liking, though.

[gruffier]

I thank you, Sherlock. Your words are most kind.

I'll make certain the Rift's remain at ease until then.

[gruffier]

[ You comments are always welcomed here!

... Maybe not everywhere, but certainly here! ]

Should the Rifts choose mercy, I intend to remain here for as long as I can, and even further still.

[gruffier]

Your words are most appreciated— thank you, kindly.

Our doors are open to all, should you like to attend.

[crack_shots]

I might take you up on that. I'd consider any friend of Zelda's a friend of mine as well.

If you don't mind me asking, have you known one another long? It is strange circumstances we find ourselves in beyond the rifts after all. [ Making this all the more serendipitous in spite of them. ]

[gruffier]

You are a friend of Zelda? Than consider that friendship all the more mutual.

[ He is good friends with Darin! So Zelda is certainly the people's princess. ]

I don't mind at all. Jill and I met long before our arrival here— during my boyhood, in fact.

[beshackled]

[This one sounds drawn to trouble. He's drawn to trouble, isn't he.]

Then let us hope all goes to plan.

[For the couple, and the people there... and apparently the cake. The cake seems to be an important part of their ritual, as far as he can tell.]

[garudas]

And you managed to convince him to have a full ceremony? I must applaud your efforts, I will give you that. He does not seem the type.

[The one thing that she and Clive see eye to eye on.

And yes, this is actually genuine. No sarcasm this time.]

[garudas]

I would have happily obliged.

I do hope you made the proposal worth all that time.

[eternalhymn]

You can't have a wedding without gifts! Even worlds away, I think my mother would be pretty disappointed if I showed up empty-handed. You have to at least let people bring you wine to celebrate with.

[indispensable]

[You're always a real one Clive.]

That would be ideal for all parties involved. I'd prefer to not have to pick Kaveh up after he finds a new reason to get dead drunk.

[Because guess what happened last time you disappeared Clive... it was not great...]

[ramuhs]

Good, Joshua will ensure you get something right and proper.

[The backhanded insults just keep coming—]

And I do. Can take you there myself.
