[ How warm and wonderful does that feel? Those words. ]
So, um. Last night at Mammon's ball, I finally proposed to Ava.
[ Finally, he says. Because in his mind, they had been dating for years. ]
And she said yes. We don't plan to be wed until after graduation. Probably like a year after graduation. I wanna save up some money first, and she wants to travel hell -- see the sights, all the fire and brimstone and desolation. But hey, I hear that hotel has an indoor swimming pool.
[ There's a smile on his face because his parents love story is really his favorite love story. The model by which to base all love stories! ]
And if it was just up to me, I would slow down a little. Build the sort of reputation Father has first before marrying her.
[ He shakes his head, lamenting. ]
But I can't afford to be selfish when Barbas has given us everything we could ever want. And that means not wasting time building a family of my own. Think he'll at least give Dad the day off from work for the wedding?
[ Two sides war with each other with Loki's words and Tech looks down at his hands on his lap. Why does it keep feeling like there's something he's forgetting? ]
No, I guess not.
[ Tech reaches across the table to pour himself a glass of juice. ]
How was your wedding when you and Dad got married?

Of that, I have no doubt.

There's no shame in slowing down. It took your father some time to come to term with his feelings. But it worked out.

A little selfishness isn't all bad.

It was a very private ceremony. It took me ages to convince your father to marry me, after all, but he finally committed. We did a handfasting.
