[brynwieldr]

From: Leo (Odin)
Date: Jan. 20th

[As the camera clicks on, you can hear Leo muttering:]

Do we really have to do this, Aymeric? We could simply send invitations out individually when it’s closer to time.

Was it not your suggestion that we do this?

[It’s said quietly as well but the tone is gentle.]

There is nothing to worry about. We will do this together.

[Leo sighs and looks at the camera, trying to smile. It’s obvious he’s kind of regretting this decision, though.]

Right. For those of you who don’t know us, this message isn’t necessarily for you but--I am Leo, currently the god Odin.

And I am Aymeric de Borel, also assigned as a god. [What? God name ain’t important here, the actual one is.]

We--I--decided that this would perhaps be the fastest way of getting the news out. Aymeric and I…

[Deep breath.]

We’ll be married in the spring.

[It’s not shown on camera but one of Aymeric’s hands covers Leo’s, gently squeezing it as a way of reassuring him. He knows how they both are, not the type to make big announcements such as this but also wanting to share how they feel about each other. And with all the bad happening lately, there needed to be some sort of good. But they can see the elezen’s expression as he smiles warmly.

Leo appreciates the comfort, Aymeric, but he’d appreciate you saying something a little more.]

Invitations will obviously be sent out closer to the date. We would have said something sooner, but…

Given the circumstances of the recent events, it seemed a bit out of place to speak of it. However, we wished to tell our friends and fellow comrades of our news as soon as we were able. We are still planning for the ceremony and celebration so we are unable to answer much on that front.
[This is so different than trying to speak on politics or try to sway a group of people; he can do that with his eyes shut. No, this much more nerve wracking and he’s giving a mental prayer to Halone to give him strength not to screw this up.

They both suck at this, huh?]

Like I said, this is mostly for those of you who know us...or rather Aymeric. [He’s seen Aymeric’s contact list, okay.] Hopefully when the time comes, you’ll join us on our wedding day. ...gods that’s weird to say.

A moment I am looking forward to with great fervor.

[Sap. Leo gives Aymeric a slightly dopey look before he turns to the camera.

Thank you for your time.

[End feed.]


[OOC: Both will be responding!]

[brynwieldr]

Emizel, then. Are you a friend of Aymeric's?

[trademark_skull]

I-I am! We went out on a few adventures together.

[And may or may not be adopted by now...Without Emizel knowing.]

[brynwieldr]

[So Aymeric has a son he never told Leo about.

Cool.]

Well, my temple is right next to Aymeric's now. I don't think it's the best place for children, but if you need somewhere quiet almost any friend of Aymeric's is welcome.

[trademark_skull]

I think I could manage. [Despite how he looks, he's...somewhat unique, to put lightly.]

Oh - that's that same district I'm in too. So we're probably really close.

[brynwieldr]

Of course you could.

[Maybe but also Niles.]

[trademark_skull]

[His only experience with Niles was after all the other reapers had left. And he seemed....alright then.]

What is it like?

[brynwieldr]

What do you mean?

[trademark_skull]

Your temple, is there something wrong with it?

[brynwieldr]

Oh, no. It's just boring for children and my shinki is not exactly child-safe.

[trademark_skull]

[Boring? Hmm...]

Are there a lot of books? I like to read.

[Though that still means having to get around the shinki.]

[brynwieldr]

[Oh he approves.]

There's an entire library.

[trademark_skull]

That's so cool!

[It seems Leo, you are going to get along well with your stepson.]

[brynwieldr]

Just don't touch the ones on the "magic" shelf. I don't want you getting hurt.

[trademark_skull]

"Magic" ones?

[Perks.]

So you know magic too?

[brynwieldr]

I'm one of, if not the strongest mage alive back home.

[trademark_skull]

Seriously? That's kinda awesome. [Though, he wonders how strong that actually is...]

I'm no where close to the strongest yet, but I am trying to get up there eventually!

[brynwieldr]

Oh, you're a mage?

[Aymeric you have been holding out on him.]

What sort of magic?

[trademark_skull]

I know fire, wind, and ice. ...Those have been the easiest for me anyway.

[And they cover plenty of type weaknesses too.]

[brynwieldr]

So elemental? Do you have dark magic or curses in your world?

[trademark_skull]

Oh, plenty! It's not the Netherworld for nothin'.

[A lot of demons are into that kind of thing.]

[brynwieldr]

[....wait.]

Netherworld? As in demons?

[trademark_skull]

Yeah, that's the one.

[brynwieldr]

Are you a demon?

[trademark_skull]

I am.

...Not just any, I'm also a reaper.

[brynwieldr]

...a reaper. A pyschopomp?
