Of course we want you there. It isn't as if I've invited you to come be a housemaid, Celes.

[just. ruffles her hair! but also he's lifting their entwined hands so he can kiss her knuckles, all knightly and cool]

You are part of the image we both have of a future where we can be happy.

[overworker]

I know. You wouldn't ask something like that-- even if I would have offered.

[How dare he be tipsy and still this dashing. She's utterly defeated.]

I just... guess I didn't expect that. At least, not so soon. I wouldn't want to take away from what you had planned. But it would be nice...

[cryovision]

Hmmm... If it's too much too soon, I wouldn't presume to pressure you into a commitment of that nature. But if you really do find it appealing, I'd be quite happy to have you.

If it makes you feel more secure in my level of selfishness, I'll admit I was dreaming of having his full attention the night of. But we can work out an arrangement to everyone's liking. I'll be inviting Zephyr if possible as well, although not in the same capacity. He wouldn't like to be tied down.

[overworker]

No, I—- If I’m honest, it is something I do want, deep down. But I figured something like that was probably an impossible dream.

So even if I had to wait a little… I’d still be happy just to have that moment.

Because it does feel a little bit like I’d be cheating you both out of something you’d meant to share together, just the two of you. I’d want you to be able to have that without having to worry about other people. You both deserve that.

[cryovision]

It's very kind of you to think so.

[He has to think about this a bit more.]

...We all deserve a little one-on-one time, I think. So we'll just trade off, when that feels necessary. I'll be spoiled and claim the wedding night, but the second night is all yours. And the next... will be you and I alone.

[overworker]

That does seem like the most fair way to do it. And then if we're not satisfied we spoiled him enough, we can take all the time we want after that.

[cryovision]

Precisely. I want us all to return to our daily lives so relaxed it makes everyone we know jealous.

[overworker]

That does sound quite nice.

[Chuckling--]

You know you're still gonna owe Noct a wedding dress though, right? Even if you only wear it in private.

[cryovision]

Hmmm... Maybe so.

[He is always willing to dress up. And he is absolutely going to spend Diluc's money on clothes.]

Ah, right. When we get back, I'll have to introduce you to Dandelion... I have no doubt the knights would be delighted to have you.

[overworker]

Mmmmmhmmm.

[She knows it. And she also remembers Pavo in a wedding dress, which is why she can say with certainty that it deserves a repeat.]

You think so...? Well it's true I'll have to find some way to contribute-- I'll do my best!

[cryovision]

The Acting Grandmaster is a lot like you. Honestly, if you can make a dent in her busywork, you'd be saving me a lot of trouble.
