[ oh, viren definitely, definitely appreciates those magic perks. ]
[ but alas: thankfully, he isn't quite socially inept that he can't perceive that to be the joke that it is, even if it does take him a moment. regardless, ]
Doubtful - After all, I'm not one so easily charmed, Theseus.
[ so that's... something, anyway. viren's in a pleasant enough mood that it's intended as a compliment; the added charm did have him tolerating him during that masquerade, after all. ]
[Ah, that's right, the ceremony. It definitely makes all this feel a bit more personal-- but it is, right? Or it should be, if they're actually going to go through with it and form a bond. Maybe Theseus is making a larger deal of this than he should, but in a way, it still feels like a rather proper and important relationship, and he wants to treat it as such.
Even if he still has personal trauma regarding his own lost fiance.]
We can attend one tomorrow. [Oh, is that too quick? Theseus winces a bit, retracting his comment slightly.] Or whenever you're ready. I believe we ah, have to exchange vows.
[ there's a little lift of his eyebrows at that; the wording isn't any less disconcerting for him, in a way. but his tone remains solidly neutral at the affirmation of it.
... mm, he wonders if he should try to (try) to provide some consolation as to that - that he hadn't found it anything like exchanging marriage vows or the like. thank god for that. he decides that's unnecessary for the moment. ]
Tomorrow in the afternoon, around [ insert some time here. ]. Acceptable?
[Later on, he'll apologize to Viren for being so ridiculous, almost embarrassing about this whole matter. Not the sort of impression he wants to set, not on a regular basis, and especially not to someone that he's going to be tied with soon. Tied in a magical, platonic way, of course. Theseus will definitely get himself straightened out before tomorrow afternoon.
A whole day, surely enough time. He'll be fine by then, work out the last of his nervous energy and be wholly impressive to Viren. That's a good goal to focus on.
So, he manages a smile, nodding once to the time.]
[ oh, theseus... viren's eyes round at the comment, now actually unsure if that one's meant in jest or not. probably not? best to play it safe, probably not. he should do the same. there's a little clearing of his throat, and he manages a small smile again. ]
