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?"

Mordred's cheeks flush a bright red as he immediately looks down and begins tugging at a frayed thread at the hem of his sweater. He really should know the answer to this, but... well...

"I-I don't actually-- know. With our friend doing all the work and-- planning, I never thought to ask. She works with us, so I know she's arranging time off work and everything-- else that needs taking care of." The druid laughs nervously as he looks up at Galahad with a shy smile. "Sometime after spring begins, I think. We want it to be warm outside, as we're getting married in the garden of a large local church."

Oh! Galahad also offered advice when he first approached, didn't he? The druid should probably touch on that before he forgets again. "Ah, you suggested we take time-- for ourselves during the ceremony and after, right? What do you mean by that?"

The knight smiles softly as he pictures Mordred getting married outside of a church and surrounded by flowers. It's a wonderful idea, and sounds like a perfect way to celebrate the love between two people. Maybe he'll have to consider bringing up the idea of something similarly floral-heavy to Beelzebub once their own wedding draws closer. For now, the knight files the idea away in the back of his mind.

"A Spring wedding sounds pleasant. It'll be good weather for your guests too." How wonderful.

When Mordred speaks up again, the knight is drawn a little from his own private reveries about what it would be like to get married in the Spring and surrounded by flowers. He blinks, and then runs a hand through his curls to bring himself fully back to the present.

"Ah, that... Well, most weddings mean spending time greeting guests and receiving their well wishes, aye? But I would think it important to spend the most time, whether publicly or pulled off to one side, with the man you love. To enjoy yourselves fully, as lovers deserve."

[itdruid]

It's not quite the same, but Mordred could swear he recognizes that dreamy look on Galahad's face. It brings a bright smile to his own face as he watches the knight pull himself from his daydreams, though the wisdom he offers quickly brings him back down to a much more earthly thoughts.

"Enjoy ourselves fully," he repeats softly. As lovers deserve suggests quite a few things, but given his relationship with Galeas, Mordred's mind automatically skips ahead to a thing the two of them have been dreaming about since the day the druid say yes: husband sex. Goddess, wouldn't it be wonderful if they could steal away from their own wedding for just... ten or twenty minutes to be together after they're married? His cheeks flush as the idea settles in his mind, and he has to shake his head to keep from getting too distracted.

"Y-yes, that-- I remember being mentioned. The greeting and-- well wishes, I mean." He pauses for an excited breath. "I'll ask if our friend can't find us a little-- time for us to spend alone during the day, though. Even a few minutes alone with my..." He inhales a deep breath and exhales it as a content sigh. "With my husband would be amazing." She can manage that for them, right? If Galeas asks, there's no way it won't happen, because the woman would do anything for her brother.
