[Video ] An important announcement

[k2so]

[Cassian and Kay's house is often lively and, while Kay is trying to keep what is happening behind him mostly out of frame, Cassian and some pokemon can be spotted.]

Does anybody know a good blacksmith that can weld my wedding ring into place? [Kay raises his left hand and sure enough, there's a white gold ring around his finger.] It keeps falling off because my frame's too smooth and I don't want to lose it by accident.

[Any attempts at seriousness are ruined when there's a yelp, a shout of] Galantea! Get back here right now! [and then there's a Sylveon wearing a tiny tuxedo throwing herself at Kay smugly crowing Sylveon! Sylveon! Cassian appears a moment later, plucking her from Kay’s shoulder. If you look closely, you can see a matching wedding ring on Cassian’s hand, worn along with the gunmetal-grey ring made of Kay’s frame he’s been wearing since Christmas.]

That’s it, you’ve been wearing this tux since the wedding. Enough now. [For his troubles, he gets his cheek licked– slowly and slobbery and with great relish. He finally notices the phone in Kay’s hand.] If you’re going to announce it, you might as well tell them we’ll be unavailable for our honeymoon.

WE ARE NOT DEAD HERE!

[Dude, rude.]

Hm..i.t's okay. Other peopel suggested trying a rings spacers first. I think I'll go for that option and if it keeps falling off, I'll look for something more permanent. But thanks for the offer. What is Yakuza?

[ubiquitously]

Fair! [Uai holds up his hand, showing his ring: It's on quite snug and would honestly cause a normal person pain:] Personally, I made mine as permanent as possible. But I also don't need to worry about taking it off to wash, or anything.

[Hah. Uai is disappointed that his joke did not stick its landing.]

Criminal organization that I come across in a bunch of other worlds and timelines. There's a saying that if you want to leave 'em, you need to be ready to chop off your fingers.

[k2so]

Oh, you are married too. Are they here? And yes I can see how having it permanently attached is useful.

[ Sorry man, different worlds and all that. He needs context for certain jokes ]

Uh, that's very impractical. They sound a bit like the smugglers and Hutts from my galaxy. Except that you don't leave the Hutts, fingers or not. Unless you do so in pieces.

[ubiquitously]

Hm, not quite yet. Got the rings and didn't have a chance to do the rest. [He isn't going to talk about how his lover's AU self is here and it sucks. Even Uai has enough tact to not turn wedding congratulations into a chat about himself.

But apparently, it can totally be derailed by talk of criminal activity.]

Yes, seems to be a universal theme of criminal gangs. Efficient for secrecy, I'm sure, but what a mess. Fingers are easier to hide than bodies. [...

Actually, he's going to invest in some tact and not have this conversation!]

Still. Congratulations. Does it feel any different yet? Being married.

[k2so]

Oh, my bad for assuming then.

[ Kay wouldn't mind too much. He doesn't talk about himself that often and he likes to know more about people. Data gathering is his thing. ]

A big mess, indeed. But if there's nothing left of the person that's even easier to hide. it's usually how the Hutts operate. Unpleasant folks, I'm glad none of them is here.

We've been living together for two years and before that, in our world, we were also always near each other. So it's not so different but it feels good.

And I love saying 'my husband'. It's so sweet.

[ubiquitously]

[Uai has to pinch himself before he starts actually discussing criminals and body hiding practices. It is a real struggle, since he also likes data collecting and learning about people.]

Hm~. I can imagine that would be nice to say, huh. And hear. Kind of like when my girls called me “dad.”

I’m glad something good could come out of being here. Though, sounds like you two lied about the “death do us part” part of your wedding vows. Kind of a dumb line anyway. Death doesn’t get a say in love. [Not that Uai knows anything about that, as he fiddled with his unmoving ring.]

[k2so]

[ This is sadly not very far off from the things Kay had to deal with on a daily basis at home. Those were more military-ish and less dealing with the space mafia but the Rebellion still had to be careful with those people. ]

Aw. Yes, something like that. How many children do you have? Oh I don't think I know your name, I'm K-2SO. Kaytoo for short.

[ They have been talking for a bit so he might as well introduce himself. ]

We didn't use that line for that reason. I also died here once, not just in my world, and I came back. And even if that were about to happen, or we disappeared from this world...I would find my way back to Cassian, somehow.
