[ Amber...please...he's so embarrassed. He doesn't have in him to say thank you or anything like that, so he just ends up averting his gaze as his hands go in his pockets. ]

Yes, yes. He should be back soon. I'm sure he'd love to see you attend.

[ Little does he know that Amber will do more than just attend their wedding... ]

...I had no idea the two of you knew each other.

[ Which, given everything, explains why he's freaking out a little right now. ]

[outride]

He'd never hear the end of it from me if I didn't!

( Of course there's no way she'd expect the Traveller to not invite her to his wedding. No way! )

Haha - wow! I'm honestly surprised! I've spent quite a lot of time with him here!

[unchainer]

As I said, he doesn't talk about other people very much, let alone himself.

[ Even so, they've learned a lot about each other during their short time here. Enough to get them to this point, anyway. Vanitas is usually pretty good about keeping tabs on people, but somehow, Aether and Amber's comeraderie managed to escape his line of sight. ]

Are you telling me he's kept you in the dark about our...arrangement?

[ His tone is more curious than offended. ]

[outride]

Well ... no, he didn't keep me in the dark about anything. I knew about you both. It was the engagement that surprised me. ( Because Aether was worried and Amber told him to pursue Vanitas anyway, if it's what his heart desires. Looks like he did! )

But, still! I'm really happy that you're both together.

[ This wouldn't be so strange if his date with Amber didn't happen. He'll get over it, but y'know. New revelations and all. Vanitas figures he won't ask Amber if she said anything about their date, because chances are, Aether doesn't know. Even if he did, it doesn't matter, in the end. ]

It was recent. You didn't miss much.

[ ... ]

I'll send him your regards. The invitation to your own ceremony will be appreciated, I'm sure.

[outride]

Still! Recent or not, it's wonderful news. I'm so happy for you both.

( Aether doesn't know about the date, either. But that was just a one time thing! It's all good. )

Oh, uh ... there's actually something else I wanted to ask him in person. We were wondering ... and by "we" I mean Diluc, Kaeya and I .... were wondering if Aether would like to be the best man at our wedding. And if he'd walk me down the aisle to hand me over to my grooms ... but I'll go look for him and ask.
