I don't want to do it this freely. If this place made it possible to commit to one person, I would. That's not a luxury I have back home either. At least not publicly.
I tried to be, before Hawk. But in moments of weakness, I failed.
You could, if that's what you really wanted? I mean I'd beat away any other suitors with a stick when you're otherwise compromised by the house, if you really want me to. I'm sure Hawk would help.
I see. I guess there's nobility in that, in refraining from anything that distracts you from your goals.
He is, yes. I had a very interesting encounter with him the night of the party too. Though If you'd rather I didn't, I'll respect that, you know. He's lovely, but I can tell you feel strongly about him.
Me neither. It's not legal here, yet, so there isn't much reference. I suppose both of them walk down the aisle, if they're both women?
I know I don't NEED to. But you're my friend, whether or not Harry and I spend time together, and I want to make that quite clear. Did he really? That's adorable, actually. It reminds me of how you used to text, when we first arrived.
I'll ask around, subtly. Fact-gathering. Maybe see the next time a priest is scheduled to come by -- Christmas, probably?

What are you accusing me of?
no subject
I'm simply observing that maybe you personally don't think chastity is as "weird" as you may say. That's all.
no subject
I didn't say it was weird. I think that's the ideal, really, even if it's not very realistic.
[ He said being horny about it is weird!!! He is self-kinkshaming. ]
no subject
You deserve it.
Celibacy? Really? You'd pick that?

It was mostly for religious reasons. We're not supposed to until we're married, but I can't get married.
no subject
Ah. Right. Well, I don't know if that priest is a legitimate church entity, so. If we were at sea, the highest-ranking officer could marry you two.
[like pirates of the caribbean which in every other context is not accurate, but. that part's true.]
no subject
It has to be in a church for me.
no subject
Right. Would you want something like in some of the movies? A big celebration, a suit and everything?
no subject
Goodsir.
It's not complicated with him, I mean, but this whole thing is. I don't think I know how to do anything halfway. I don't know if I even want to.
It wouldn't have to be a big spectacle. But a church. My friends, my family, if they'd want to be there.
no subject
You like him a lot, then? And of course you don't, Tim, that's one of the things I admire about you. You aren't wishy-washy.
Would you walk down an aisle? That seems to be a big part of things.
no subject
I don't know. The woman is supposed to do that. I don't know what a gay wedding even looks like.
no subject
If you'd rather I didn't, I'll respect that, you know. He's lovely, but I can tell you feel strongly about him.
Me neither. It's not legal here, yet, so there isn't much reference. I suppose both of them walk down the aisle, if they're both women?
no subject
It's okay, I think.
So if they're both men, do they skip that part? I don't know.
no subject
If you're sure, okay?
Maybe they walk down together? I'm sure we could ask. If that's something you want. There has to be another priest here sooner or later.
no subject
I guess the 2010s people would know.
no subject
...I don't want to ask the 2010s people. They make my head hurt.
no subject
Me too, but they're the ones who would know.
no subject
Perhaps asking anonymously would cut down on some of the dramatics.
no subject
You do it. Hawk will know. And then he says he doesn't want to, which would be awful, or that he does, which I don't think I'm ready for.
And it's all moot without a priest anyway.
no subject
Did he really? That's adorable, actually. It reminds me of how you used to text, when we first arrived.
I'll ask around, subtly. Fact-gathering. Maybe see the next time a priest is scheduled to come by -- Christmas, probably?
no subject
I can't get married on Christmas. That's the Lord's day.
no subject
Oh, right. Maybe they'll bring the priest for a whole week?
no subject
They didn't bring one at all last Christmas. Most people have weddings in the spring or summer.
