Finally, a place stranger than his office!
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?"

"Our eldest brother is known for falling quickly. The fact that is choice of partners leaves God astir is only an additional benefit. My other brother took us all by surprise, though his strong convictions have proven a common bond." He pauses with curiosity. "Tell me about your partner of God and how you differ. I wonder if there are similarities."

It's interesting to hear of others who come from a different faith (is that the right word for angels? Mordred's uncertain) ending up with lovers who follow the ways of God. He smiles as he listens, then blinks in surprise when the conversation is turned back on him. Oh, he could talk about Galeas for days, so time to trim it down a bit.
"Well, he's-- an envoy of God, a being created to do His work on Earth. He's not actually human, but I think that's part of why I love him." Mordred chuckles, his smile warming as he talk about his fiancé. "I'm a man of the Triple Goddess, and as human as they come. Magical and a reincarnation of someone very powerful, but still-- mortal." For now. That'll change soon, but... well, that's something to worry and talk about later.
He shrugs a little and smiles up at Astaroth. "He's very naive of the world in some ways. He knows a lot of things, but he doesn't always have context or nuance. But he's the most earnest and loving person I've ever met, and he always puts his whole self into everything he does. It's endearing in a way many humans aren't."
