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!]

You know, those last two things actually sound kind of mean...

[ Implying that Minako hasn't done some manipulation for her own benefit or even the greater good. But that was just small stuff, it doesn't count in her eyes!! ]

I didn't mean that kind of social! How am I supposed to know about royal stuff, I'm not a princess!

[ Or.. so Minako thinks, anyway. Shh. ]

I meant normal social stuff! Like.. how to make friends! How to act on your first date! Stuff everyone deals with!

Have you ever looked around you? You might be the first person I've met who says they don't deal with those things! [ She huffs. ] Sorry that us common folk have normal social lives!

I've met people who seemed to be from times way before mine who also dealt with that stuff!

[ Granted, her goddess is a Ye Olde Fantasy Times princess who is more likely to have dealt with Leo's kind of stuff, but.. Zelda is an outlier and not counted!! ]

Oh, so are you saying you've talked to absolutely everyone in this place, and then knew the exact time everyone was from, even though half of us can't even remember anything?

There's nothing impossible about that! There's already someone in this place I'm helping as their teacher to improve their social interactions by a lot..!

[ Huffs. ]

Just because you refuse to see my true potential doesn't mean everyone here does!

...

[ There's a small pause, like she's trying to figure something out. ]

Are you trying to use big words to try and distract me, mister know-it-all?! [ N-.. Not that she doesn't know what esoteric means or anything.. ]

But.. being social totally has practical applications, right? Look, we're being social right now! [ Her tone drops a little into a whisper-that's-totally-just-a-stage-whisper: ] And you're not very good at it.

Hah! How could you ever do that if you can't even charm an average teenage girl?

[ Although he did charm over Aymeric, but.. it must just be since Aymeric is so nice, clearly! Way too nice for his own good! That's the only explanation now. ]

Aren't you just saying that since you look back on your teenage years that way? I almost feel sorry for you, wasting the best time of your life like that! Right now I'm in the spring of my youth, and there's not a single thing I regret! [ Granted, she doesn't remember anything about her life before she ended up here, but at least it applies to everything here so far. ]

Except maybe for talking to someone as pompous and rude as you!

Some people out there are just enjoying their lives and youth instead of being a sourpuss to the people they talk to! I get that it must be kind of hard for you to understand that.

I'm not even going to bother with you anymore.

[ Because he sure has the pedantic part down pat, yes. ]

Consider yourself lucky that Aymeric is such a nice person! [ Because she can't imagine anyone wanting to date, let alone marry, him. And that means a lot coming from a girl who crushes on almost everyone. ] Bye forever!
