Finally, a place stranger than his office!

[itdruid]

Strange things happening around an office filled with magical beings is the norm in Mordred's life. Every day he deals with with magic users, vampires, and landlines in a bag (that call God, no less), so opening a door and finding something unexpected on the other side isn't really a shock. Or it shouldn't be, but a multi-dimensional hub is far outside even the young man's definition of "normal".

Instead of stepping into an unused office supposedly filled with the missing supplies he needs, he finds himself stepping out onto a chilly street along the Plaza. Mordred blinks a few times as he takes in his surroundings (including a-- Captain America PSA?), silently thanks the Goddess he's actually wearing a sweater while he looks around the area, and then makes his way over to the pamphlets to check one out. It's not the most helpful reading material, but it's enough that he looks slightly less nervous once he's worked up the nerve to ask a question as instructed.

"So, I-- This might not be the best first question to ask of strangers, but..." The druid's cheeks flush as he tugs at the bottom of his sweater, his fingers worrying the hem as he gathers his thoughts. "My fiancé and I are getting married soon, and a-a friend of ours-- his sister, actually... Well, she's planning everything-- for us, but I feel like I should contribute something." He frowns thoughtfully for a moment, then sighs heavily. "If you could add-- anything you wanted to a wedding, what would it be? Anything I should-- avoid, at the very least?"

"I thought so. Everybody's new here once." The skeksis nods, pleased by the young man's polite manners. "It seems as if you have a lot covered, and that complicates things. It's fair that you want to offer something of your own, especially since, as you pointed out, it is your wedding. Let an old salt see if she can help you, lad."

The pirate closes her eyes and thinks for a couple of moments, then opens them again.

"Perhaps you might surprise them?" Her red eyes twinkle a little. "People do appreciate surprises, especially during parties. I believe that's another thing that's true across cultures and planets. Find something that this other person doesn't have covered and surprise them with that, lad. Give them all a shock."

"A surprise for my husband?" It's a good idea on its face, but Mordred isn't sure what could possibly surprise Galeas at this point. They live together and share everything; It would be very difficult to hide anything from the man before their wedding day. Something small could work, maybe, if he could find something appropriate. He frowns thoughtfully as he flips through a few possibilities in his mind.

"I honestly don't know what I could get him. We have fairly simple lives. We like chocolate and plants and--" Don't say sex out loud, Mordred, that's awkward. The druid coughs conspicuously, his cheeks flushing a bright pink as he continues. "And trying things he's heard about from others but hasn't had the chance to experience yet. He's... had a smaller, more sheltered life, so there's been a lot of things for us to see and do together since we met."
