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

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

[Please excuse the clatter and the shellphone pointing up at the ceiling. Kaveh dropped the phone in excited gay panic. Do you get this weird sense of deja vu?]

Haitham! Haitham get in here, check your phone, come look, hurry--

[After a moment, Mehrak comes into view! She beep boops and makes a ^_^ face before picking up the shellphone and shutting it back off.]

2/2 text

[empyrean_mirror]

Mehrak: Kaveh can't answer the phone right now! He will respond as soon as he can! ^_^
Mehrak: Scenario: "Clive and Jill are getting married" has been detected.
Mehrak: Loading message: "Congratulations! Please let me know what I can do to help, it would be my honor!"
Mehrak: "P.S. You are getting a paid honeymoon, Jill. I will go mysteriously deaf if you try to argue it at all."
Mehrak: End of prepared message! ^_^

[She is just going to go ahead and say what everyone else is thinking:]

It is about fucking time.

Congratulations, Jill! Oh my goodness, I'm ever so happy for you!

Truly a cause for celebration. It would be my honor to attend.

[gruffier]

Hard to tell if you had this saved for some time now, Kaveh.

Regardless, the sentiment is appreciated. Thank you, kindly.

[gruffier]

[ If anyone was going to say it out loud, it should be her. ]

I will be the first to admit the fault falls to me. I was hesitant. But hesitant no longer.

Since you came back, if I'm being honest.

I do mean it, though. If you need any help organizing, let me know...I know parties aren't really your thing, so let us take care of the stressful parts.

[gruffier]

We would be misplaced without your appearance, Dion. You have done much and more for my family, and I thank you for that.

[gruffier]

:) I suspected as much.

You know I could never ask you for such a thing. You work far too hard to take on the load of another.

[gruffier]

[ WOW Clive had never seen that sticker before? It's so cute!? ]

Jill has brought mention of your friendship. I thank you for being so kind to her.

I wondered if this would ever happen. We also need a book you an appointment at the barber's, it is long overdue.

[tilfrosset]

Thank you for your congratulations, Benedikta.

[Surely this is her way of saying so?]

[tilfrosset]

Kaveh, please calm down.

Also, I do not need one. Clive and I haven't even planned a honeymoon.

Congratulations to the both of you on this step in your journey. May it be one of many you share together.

I know naught of wedding customs among those here. Are there any rules of ettiquette to be observed by those who attend?

[tilfrosset]

Is that a frog? It's quite adorable.

[But no, back to the point of everything!]

Thank you, Zelda. I still have a bit of difficulty believing it's actually happening.

[tilfrosset]

Honestly, Clive and I don't hold fast to many particulars of civility. I suspect it would be hard to expect any while surrounded by pirates, really.

All we ask for is your presence and no taste-testing of the cake before its served.

[tilfrosset]

In that case, we shall make sure to seat you at the table for honored guests.

[Probably closest to the bar.]

[tilfrosset]

We just wanted to take our time with such life changes, Cid. Plus we didn't want to do anything behind other's backs.

Unlike someone I'm familiar with.

[YEAH YOU, DAD. HOW COULD YOU GO AND ELOPE?]

[garudas]

[Correct.]

Really? Even after that punch I'd laid on you when you returned?

[Not for that reason, but she'd certainly said some things about it after the fact. It might as well have been.]

[garudas]

[Sure. Let's go with that.]

What finally made him do it?

[haveaflare]

I have done no more than was necessary, you do me too much honor. I owed you far more than my wings and my presence at this most joyous occasion is truly the least I may do.

[tilfrosset]

Well, there were some things that were overdue for a discussion.

[Like her desire for an actual ceremony, dress and all, against his disdain for parties.]

But once we talked about it and came to an agreement, everything else fell into place.

[haveaflare]

[Oh how he's dreamed of a day when he could love in the daylight. Maybe...it's alright to make this request.]

A seating with Joshua will suffice, truly.

[beshackled]

[He should probably look up what a pirate is...]

An easy enough task. I only need not consume anything ere it is offered to me by another.

[He shall be the most wallflowery of wallflowers.]

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.

[astudyinviolet]

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. ]
