Technically, my father is a noble amongst his people. So, it's like marrying within the same sort of class. Although, we're not married.
[Yet. Not married yet. Please don't scare Percy off, Yuri.]
And I've always had responsibilities. After some point, Vox Machina began moving in circles that came with a LOT of responsibilities. I suppose that's part and parcel of being known as heroes.
And I don't know why rich people do that. It makes no sense. At least in Whitestone we eat like normal people. Although, I do admit that sometimes there's nothing quite like simple fare made with uncomplicated ingredients.
I'm glad that the two of you worked it out without coming to blows. I'm so proud of you. Now, are you going out again soon?
I'm not at all certain. We are committed and love one another.
[They'll get married, yeah, but that's a different story for a different day.]
Well, a lot of really good desserts and treats are simple. However, it could be fun to try something complicated. Don't worry. I'll let you know before we try something big and overly done.
You just want to be around him and be able to kiss him without all the pressure, hm? The best way to do that is to get all the awkward "date moments" out of the way.
I don't know if I should be offended by that or not.
[If he asked, she'd say yes, so there's that.]
I don't have plans for anything splashy, so you can relax. We'll probably focus more on breads and cookies, if truth be told. Cakes are a lot of work to decorate.
And I'm sure that if you just talked to him, a lot of this anxiety would be taken care of. I speak from personal experience, you know. Of course, I did open the door to my room naked when Percy came to talk about our relationship, so... There's always that.
Not at all. Being married is very common. It's not necessary, but I am not at all against it.
[A public declaration of her love for Percy and desire to be with him forever? Yes, she's for that, but it'll happen when it does and not a second sooner.]
Fine. I'll have you make all the cakes, Yuri. It'll give you the time to think about how to not screw up your new relationship with Flynn.
And yes, we did end up talking. We had sex and then talked. And talked some more. And then killed two dragons and spent more time talking and having sex. It's healthy to do both, I've heard.
If we choose to get married here, I will invite all of my friends, Yuri. Just stay on my good side and you'll have an invitation.
And I'm not sure if slaying dragons will work for *every* couple, but it works for Percy and I. Although, that's more about circumstances than anything else. It's really the talking and mutual respect, even when we disagree with each other.
Yuri, let me give you some actual advice, alright? When you talk to him, don't overthink it. Speak from your heart. If you overthink it, you'll say something that might be interpreted incorrectly.
Trust me.
And baking is great for clearing your mind and helping you get things into perspective. It's why I like it and cooking so much. Well, that and I like eating well if there are no servants around.
ok ill take it from the expert. dragon fighting and speaking from the heart. ill try it.
[ overthinking is more Flynn's problem than Yuri's, but Yuri has never thought about it that way. Is that why things come out wrong with Flynn? Why he doesn't trust himself to speak, because he thinks too much and then says the wrong thing? ]
its good to be able to cook for yourself. hard to bring servants on the road, im guessing
[ at least, he knows that Estelle had to get used to it ]
Everyone who's come up on my bad side is now dead.
And I'd lean more towards the talking, since a dragon here might be an actual person.
[He can't hear her, but she does laugh at his last comment.]
You would think that, but Caleb and my friend Scanlan can cast a spell that summons a mansion filled with servants. The spell lasts for twenty-four hours and comes with everything you need to enjoy yourself for that time frame.
yuri has no idea how to respond to that last thing, and stares at his Relic for a long time, typing, then stopping, then typing again. for starters: he doesn't like the idea of servants at all, so this whole line of conversation bothers him. for two: are these real people? fictions that are summoned up by magic? real people pulled from their lives? three: the hell? magic can do that? ]
I've learned that magic on my world and others is very different. However, it's so convenient to be able to summon a place to sleep overnight while traveling and have spectral servants bring cooked food out when your hungry.
That sounds like our situation until Scanlan found a book with the spell in it. It took him a week of reading to finally learn how to summon the mansion.
And then it was filled with spectral servants who were all women with large breasts and could only make roasted chicken. For every meal.
Yes, he's the one that none of us are really happy with. Although, I miss him, despite wanting to let Grog punch him a few times.
Well, Scanlan was the only member of our party who could cast the spell. It's incredibly useful, since only those he *wants* can even see the door, making it the best place to stay when you're basically on the run from a group of powerful, ancient, murderous dragons.
And the magic of the spell corresponds to the person who casts it. When Scanlan casts it, it appears to be his chicken-filled love den with rooms that are set aside for each of us to use, so there's that. When Caleb casts it, it appears to be a large magical tower with walking, talking cats to serve us. So, personal taste is taken into account.
