I believe they are. You didn't give him the shovel talk, did you?

I guess the 2010s people would know.

[kobes]

I did not mention a shovel EXACTLY in the course of the conversation...

...I don't want to ask the 2010s people. They make my head hurt.

[holyposition]

Koby.

Me too, but they're the ones who would know.

[kobes]

Tim?

Perhaps asking anonymously would cut down on some of the dramatics.

[holyposition]

It's very sweet, but you don't need to threaten anyone for me. Hawk already has. He wrote him a letter asking him permission to court me.

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.

[kobes]

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?

[holyposition]

How did I used to text?

I can't get married on Christmas. That's the Lord's day.

[kobes]

You introduced yourself at the beginning, the first couple times. Like a letter.

Oh, right. Maybe they'll bring the priest for a whole week?

[holyposition]

I still do it with people I'm not close with. That's just polite.

They didn't bring one at all last Christmas. Most people have weddings in the spring or summer.

[kobes]

It is. And most people aren't polite, which is what makes it so charming.

Ah, I see. Would you want one in the summer? Seems the heat would be a factor.

[holyposition]

Maybe...early autumn. So it's not too cold to have a reception outdoors, but the leaves are still turning.

Why so many questions about it?

[kobes]

I don't know. You make it sound so nice, that's all.

It'd be fun to go to a wedding, if it was yours.

[holyposition]

I don't think I can have one here. I'd made my peace with never having one at all.

But you can be my best man, if anything changes.

[kobes]

Thank you. You can be mine too, if I ever decide to get married.

[holyposition]

Are you thinking about it?

[kobes]

Me? No, not really. Not anymore.

I mean. I'd never thought about it, since becoming
You know. Myself.

[holyposition]

If it’s possible for me, it’s possible for you. If that’s something you would want, eventually.

[kobes]

Eventually. Someday. Maybe.

[holyposition]

With Quentin?

[kobes]

Maybe. Yeah. I mean
I want to be with him forever. As long as I can. Whatever that means.

[holyposition]

Does he know you're about to propose?

[kobes]

[the benefit of being the psychic friend -- when bestie is being sassy, it's very easy to reach out and nudge his bratty bright consciousness, the mental equivalent of an elbow to the ribs.]

You're TERRIBLE, shush.

[holyposition]

If you need a buddy to go ring shopping with, let me know :)

[kobes]

You're impossible. ( ,,⩌'︿'⩌,,)（￣へ￣）
