Felix leans in too, almost instinctively, until he's taking Dimitri's hand and putting both it and his own still clasped in it in Dimitri's coat pocket. His other hand goes into his own coat pocket.

"I suppose. Although you were the one going on about how you've been writing letters to everyone."

Expressing his feelings his own way used to entail demanding that someone spar with him so he would have a chance to spend time with them. He still does that occasionally, but he's had to find other ways now with three partners in a peaceful world, and sometimes he thinks he hasn't really found anything of his own at all--he's just been following everyone else's lead, and poorly.

Still, they love him, so he must be doing something right.

"...we'll probably have the wedding in about a month, if everyone is...ready by then. As our king, you'll be officiating, obviously."

He says that like a statement, but he also glances sidelong and up at Dimitri's face to see whether he likes or hates the idea.

Felix blinks and stops walking, turning to look at Dimitri incredulously. "What? Why would you be doing that in the first place? You're not his father. And who would walk with me? Claude? Absolutely not." He scowls. "All those traditions are pointless, anyway. It's a lot of pompous fanfare for no good reason. We don't need to be walked anywhere. The less this wedding resembles a traditional Faerghan affair, the better."

For many reasons, but the one foremost in his mind at the moment is so he doesn't have to be reminded of the roles that his father and Glenn would have played in the ceremony if they were there.

"I want it to make Sylvain happy." It sort of sounds like he's snapping, but there's a strain to his voice that isn't there when he's actually angry. "And I don't want to be reminded every five minutes of a place where he wasn't. Where I wasn't. None of us were. We're getting married here, not in Faerghus. We shouldn't be doing things the way we would there."

The way their fathers did. The way they were always expected to. The way Sylvain would probably associate with the doomed future he's always seen for himself, in which marriage is the end of some line, after which he would cease to truly be Sylvain at all.

"And I don't know who else we would ask to marry us."

Felix kicks at another shell. "I still have to talk to Sylvain about it. But...thank you."

"It would."

Felix lets Dimitri hug him close, even as he starts walking again. "As for everything else, I don't know. I only know what I don't want. I can't...plan anything like this. Claude offered to help, though. I think Sylvain's been too preoccupied to give it much thought yet."

(He'll turn out to be wrong about that.)

"But he likes the beach. So I thought...maybe we could have the wedding here." He waves a vague hand at the ocean and the beach, to indicate literally here, not just in Olivine.

"Don't patronize me, Mitya." He's not snapping, though. "I know where my skills lie. Planning celebrations is not among them, and I don't particularly want it to be. Besides, I'm pretty sure Claude would whine endlessly if we didn't let him handle the preparations for the food and such." He shakes his head, fondly exasperated.

"Anyway, I agree, it does. And it's about as far from a stuffy cathedral as we can get. And if we hold it outdoors, then everyone's Pokemon can attend as well. Even the large water ones."

"I know. That doesn't mean he doesn't also want to show off." He glances up briefly with a wry smirk.

Felix's brow furrows at the question. "I'm not sure. I have been thinking about music, because I refuse to get married with this nonsense playing." He gestures into thin air. "I...thought we could ask Annette, but she might call me a villain or something." He doesn't seem to be joking about that.

"I have a few Pokemon who sing, as well. Maybe Karimala can join them."

Felix shrugs. "Maybe. But her biggest concern appears to be 'everyone' learning about her songs, whoever 'everyone' is supposed to be. ...but I'll speak with her about it. Maybe she won't mind as much if we find some other song for her to sing."
