Video

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!]

[ hey, he knows that guy! they've done crimes together! ]

Congratulations to the both of you! To find such happiness is just wonderful.

[ why what

sometimes crimes have to be done and there's no saizo to do the crimes for ryoma right now ]


Life is better with a few happy surprises, I'd say--especially when the surprise is such a dear, deep connection. That's something worthy of admiration.

[ i'll take 'deep romance in four conversations or less for 500', alex. ]

What would make you think that? Was the idea always just outside of being feasible for your circumstances?

[ he doesn't remember a damn thing, thankfully, because otherwise this conversation would be a lot frostier

but he relates to that feeling. he doesn't know why he relates, but there's something about being bound to act by duty... eh. he'll worry about it later. ]


I see. That's a heavy load to bear indeed... which is why you should celebrate your heart all the more fervently.

[ 'cause that's the one where he was dead. :D ]

Excellent! I have highest hopes that the pair of you enjoy the process of planning such a grand showing of your bond to one another.

[ he has a ton of questions because he's a curious crustacean but he heard the disclaimer in the announcement. he's hip, he gets it. ]

What's a major change in life without a little chaos? Being able to set your own traditions is a wonderful freedom, and if it's all done with love in mind, even better.

[ honorable chivalry lobster believes in love and happiness, tells no one because of reasons. ]

[ how dare you insinuate to any of the siblings that he has real human emotions, nohrian spellflinger. ]

That sounds terrible. Wnat purpose would such a thing even serve?

That sounds ridiculously frivolous. An invocation against ill luck is only as good as the kindness and sincerity put into it, and binding something in a tongue no one understands is a recipe for trouble.

A promise like that is worth its weight in air. Then again, I'm not much of a spellcaster; I've always seen my word as my oath and as strong as my actions.

[ rip that time he called Xander ugly ]

I agree wholeheartedly. It's something that should be declared plainly and held true over all things.

[Hey, sometimes the truth means you gotta break into some cultist's house to steal his shit for clues.]

My thanks, Ryoma. It has made us both happy to have found each other.

I would hope you'd both be happy with events; it'd be a bit suspect if one of you were gladder than the other.

[Holy shit that was a joke wasn't it?]

I would hope so; it was Leo who asked me during the New Year so I would believe it as such.

[And he is smiling a bit at that.]

[ alert the presses. next, Estinien'll talk about his feelings in a constructive manner with a therapist. ]

Well, that's a surprise. I pictured you as the type to propose, but I suppose I don't know your intended all that well.

[ ... and here's hoping Aymeric is still friends with Ryoma when Ryoma does remember, rip. ]

I would have but he had gotten to it first before I could.

Ah, well. He'll have plenty of excuses to tease you in your coming days for your laziness.
