Hey, Regis...are you available for a little bit? I need to ask you something.

[ Oh yeah, nervous ninja is nervous. ]

[regisrex]

[ He can tell the nervous, so he is sharing some of his tranquility over the connection. ]

Of course, Sheena, what can I help with?

[ninjainviolet]

[ She appreciates it, Regis, but she is REALLY nervous. ]

Ummm...well, I know we don't know each other that well...but...You know I'm getting married in a couple of months, right?

[regisrex]

[ The calm gets mixed with gentle gladness. ]

I do know, yes, and I am very happy for you both. [ She uses present tense, so no worrying about that plan changing. Still. ]

Is everything all right, Sheena?

[ninjainviolet]

Th-Thanks.

[ Yep. Still totally nervous, so her question comes out in a rush. ]

Yeah. Everything's fine. I was just wondering...

...ifyouwouldgivemeawayatthewedding?

[regisrex]

[ Beat, with only the slightest transmitted hint of surprise, and then a whole lot of warmth. ]

My dear, I would be very much honored to do so.

[ Whatever his personal concerns about getting married in this world, there is nothing that he will do or say or think that might threaten the happiness of people he cares about. Especially people who would never be able to have it otherwise. ]

[ninjainviolet]

[ And just like that, the nervousness is gone--replaced by total surprise. ]

Really?! You will?!

[regisrex]

I very much will, and I thank you for letting me share in your joy and your special day this way.

Have you and Machina decided on a date?

[ninjainviolet]

No! Thank you! I know we haven't spoken much, but...thank you.

[ She has problems expressing some emotions... ]

Yes, we have. It's the twenty-fifth of Tria.

[ So, not too far off.

And no, she hasn't started wigging out yet. ]
