[ 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. ]
