backdated February 3rd

[bestswordmaster]

you knew
didn’t you.

[This somewhat ominous message is accompanied by a close up photo of the ring Sylvain bought, which is clearly being worn on a hand, although the photo does its best to crop most of the hand out.]

Congratulations!

And what can I say? I guess I'm just a natural-born ring consultant.

[bestswordmaster]

ha.
maybe it's time for a new career.
anyway
I'd say I'm in your debt
but I don't think you would accept that.
you would make some sappy speech at me.
so I'll just say
thank you claude.

[vrdantwind]

I probably would, too. But since you showed such wisdom, I'll leave it at "you're more than welcome".

So? Who proposed first? And I'm guessing Sylvain liked his ring?

[bestswordmaster]

he did.
like the ring I mean.
he said it was perfect.
I asked first but before that
inda and varley got their hands on the rings.
or paws.
whatever.
we came back to the room and caught them red-
pawed?
but
when we got them back from the pokemon
we both had the wrong one.
it was absurd.
and embarrassing.
but it worked I guess.

[vrdantwind]

That's genuinely incredible. So I guess they decided you'd both put it off too long and decided to speed up the process?

[bestswordmaster]

worse.
they were GOSSIPING.
and didn't expect us to come back so early.
inda thought she was in trouble and cried?
seteth grabbed the other ring and ran under a table.
it was a disaster.
but
it turned out to be a good disaster.

[Felix is glad he sent a text rather than calling on video, because he knows he's grinning like a fool at his Gear right now and that's something Claude does not need to see. Felix would never live it down.]

[vrdantwind]

Aww, poor Inda! You guys comforted her, right?

But man, that sounds completely ridiculous...and somehow perfect for you two. I'm glad it all worked out in the end.

Which ring did Seteth grab, by the way?

[bestswordmaster]

as if sylvain could go a day without being disgustingly adorable and smothering her.
it was ridiculous.
and perfect.
he grabbed mine.
I mean the one I bought.
and sylvain ran after him.
I didn't even see him.
just inda with the other one.

[vrdantwind]

So...I guess you could say Seteth gave you away to your future husband, huh?

[bestswordmaster]

[The response takes a minute or two to arrive, mostly because it took Felix a bit to get it and then he had to complain aloud about it to Sylvain.]

I hate you.

[vrdantwind]

You love me. :3

[bestswordmaster]

maybe.
