Accidental Video - UN: DetWatts & UN: Maresh

[gadaboutdetective]

(ooc: Both Rhy and Llewellyn will probably respond, add a filter to the tag title if you want one of them specifically instead of both! :D)

[The thing about Llewellyn was the fact that he had a habit of fidgeting and fussing. Specifically with his face, rubbing his cheek or behind his ear. Under normal circumstances this wouldn’t be a problem, but having a device that controlled your connection to a communication network implanted behind your ear made it a problem.

The fact that this hadn’t happened before was honestly a rather large stroke of luck, but that luck had inevitably run out.

The feed opens and there’s the sound of clinking plates as Llewellyn was dishing up some dinner, food he’d picked up at the market to share with his fiancé. He looks entirely relaxed for once, no hunched shoulders or furrowed brow. Just a genuine smile as he chatted softly with the man sitting across the table from him. Pretzel could be heard wandering under the table of the dome the three of them had just moved into, little claws clicking as he hoped for some attention and table scraps.]

What are they like where you’re from? [A pause as he realized he might need to specify, his penchant for just saying things without prior reference.] Mm... Weddings, I mean. Are there any special traditions that you would like?

I’m rather fond of the tradition of cake from my world, the whole uh— reception with dinner and dancing is nice.

[Never mind the fact that Llewellyn didn’t know how to dance, and would address that anxiety at a later date.]

Oh my love.

[Rhy's voice has an amused edge to it, and he quite enjoys all of this planning they're starting with.]

Truth be told, I do not know the common traditions of Arnes. I'm a King, my beloved. My wedding at home would be a state affair. Balls leading up to it, parades, large meetings of the court. You'd be wrapped in your family colors until the day we were wedded, whereupon you'd be draped in the red and gold.

[He laughs, still pleased.]

Cake, absolutely. Dancing of course. But mostly, we should have food. Good food. And music.

[If there was one thing he appreciated about Rhy, it was the fact that the man understood the importance of good food as much as he did.]

Then cake and good food will be a must, I do wonder if they can make pretzels fancy...? [That’s said with a distracted tone. What? Pretzels are important!] I would say music certainly is a must too, if there’s going to be dancing...!

And I’m sure I can probably manage to find something nice to wear in the appropriate colours, dear.

[After all, he likes to dress up and Rhy had mentioned wanting to see him in red and gold before... Yes, he liked that idea. Absentmindedly he rubbed behind his ear again with a ridiculously pleased expression, and the feed abruptly cut off.]

[There's a good-natured chuckle coming from this end of the connection.]

Getting married, are we, Rhy?

Voice | UN: Maresh

[unbreakable_king]

Well, it seems that got out sooner than we had intended. Ah, but I cannot begrudge my sweet Llew for his accident. He is so cute when he toys with his ear.

But indeed, I am. And I expect you are going to take credit.

Voice | UN: DetWatts

[gadaboutdetective]

Er— oops... and thank you?

[Give him a minute he’s still embarrassed about what happened. The fact that Rhy thought it was cute was sweet though.]

Wait a moment... You two know each other? I thought the fellow who pushed you in the ball pit might have just been a random prankster all this time.

Re: Voice | UN: Maresh

[of_bokthersa]

You could have been happier sooner if you'd taken my advice sooner.

Oh, we're quite good friends.

voice; un: gambit

[athiefalways]

Sounds like somebody's plannin' a weddin'.

[unbreakable_king]

Indeed. I don't know your voice, but you are invited.

Voice - un: detwatts

[gadaboutdetective]

Um... Yep! We certainly are.

[Llewellyn still can’t believe he accidentally broadcasted all that... Oops. So he responds a little clumsily. Cats out of the bag now, Llewellyn.]

Oh— Rhy, this is Remy. He’s only arrived recently, but he’s a nice fellow.

[Alex is just grinning, beaming from ear to ear as she looks at them.]

Oh my god, congratulations you two! I'm so glad for you both!

[unbreakable_king]

You will join us, will you not? It would be good to have our friend there.

And maybe you could get Richard to sing for us.

Video - un: detwatts

[gadaboutdetective]

[Still kind of embarrassed about the accidental video, but it’s nice to be congratulated.]

Thank you, Alex! Um— it certainly would be lovely if you were there.

And uh... If Richard wanted to, he does have a nice singing voice.

[What? If Rhy wants it, he’s cool with it.]

[unknownmoirai]

I will make sure that both of you and even Pretzel are dressed perfectly.

[She laughs softly as if this is already in motion.]

But I am happy to hear that you are planning the wedding already. Do you have a date in mind?

video un; detwatts

[gadaboutdetective]

Thank you, Inesa, I uh— trust that you will. Your work with clothing is always lovely, after all. We really do appreciate the help!

[He smiled, glancing to Rhy on the subject of her question with a little tilt of his head.]

I’m not really sure? I expect it depends on what goes into planning a wedding and how long it takes to put together?

[Llewellyn certainly doesn’t know. How long is proper? What need be done? Still, he was excited all the same.]

[unknownmoirai]

I had spoken to Rhy and had offered my help. I am assisting Alec and Seregil with their wedding and have learned many different traditions. I'd be happy to introduce you to them.

Perhaps there is one that you'd like?

Voice: un - defrag

[blindpuppet]

You really suck at announcements.

Voice: un - detwatts

[gadaboutdetective]

[He’s making a face, Enis. Rhy could confirm, it was rather awkward and sheepish.]

Well, it wasn’t meant to be an announcement, Enis. Not yet, anyway... It was an uh— accident on my part. But I suppose your point stands.

Re: Voice: un - detwatts

[unbreakable_king]

Come now, it is not as if the technology here is at all familiar to us.

video; un: littlebird

[toivory]

You two are going to be wedded?!?

[How did she not know this??]

I don't believe I've ever gone to a wedding that didn't involve- [Wait.] Well, never mind. Consider this an official offer to help in any way I can.

I'm also quite good at courtly dances, Rhy, as you know.

[unbreakable_king]

Indeed we shall, Sana. Inesa and I shall be working on clothing at the store. Perhaps you would be willing to assist?

And yes, I do know you are good at dancing. Please save one for me.

[gadaboutdetective]

Thank you, Miss Sansa. [He responded with a bright smile,] I um— won’t be much help, but I will bring you all something to eat while you work at the shop in thanks.

[He tilted his head rather curiously on the topic of dancing,]

Perhaps you both would be able to tell me more of the dances, though? In my world, the only one I know of concerning weddings is the Wedding Waltz.

[toivory]

Of course! You needn't even have needed to ask.

Oh, I meant I could try to whip your fiancee into shape for your first dance. But you always have a spot on my dance card.

audio; un: whiteroad

[whiteroadrunning]

Many congratulations to both of you! We could still arrange for the balls and galas, if you'd prefer.

audio; un: detwatts

[gadaboutdetective]

[Oh, that’s a voice he’s pretty sure he’s heard around the network but never had the chance to meet before.]

Thank you? Mm... If Rhy wishes for there to be balls, I certainly wouldn’t say no? I’ve never been to one before, it could be fun.

[unbreakable_king]

I'm not certain that a ball would be appropriate here. There is no crowning to go with this.

And it would take so much work. Oh Watts, I do not think you would find it at all fun.

[ When he turns on his own video, Ned still looks like he's seen something he wasn't meant to see, even though it was all quite innocent. He's still getting used to this technology allowing them glimpses into the most private moments of people's lives, whether it be memories or, apparently, current times. ]

I did not mean to spy on you, Rhy. But my congratulations, all the same. I wish you every happiness, you and your intended, though I have yet to meet him. It is not every day a king weds. He should count himself fortunate.

As for traditions, you should do what pleases you both. Weddings and celebrations are the same worlds over. Food, music, dancing, friends to wish you well. Whatever else is important to you. There will be plenty cheering you on here, I think.

[unbreakable_king]

It is indeed not every day.

[Rhy smiles and his voice is full of fondness.]

I did not come here intending to find love.
