He would like it stated for the record that he is minding his own business.

In point of fact, Edmund is sprawled on the floor next to the couch, absently working on a few sketches, with a cup of tea on the table beside him. It's gone cold, long since, but he doesn't seem to have noticed.

[prydeful]

The record duly notes that he is minding his own business.

Kitty ignores this and plops next to him anyway.

"I want to elope."

[iustus_rex]

Edmund looks up, blinking.

"... I'm sorry, what?"

[prydeful]

"Elope. Indy wants trellises. With flowers."

[iustus_rex]

... still blinking.

He turns onto his side, after a moment, to look at her better, as though this will make this conversation make sense.

"... trellises."

[prydeful]

"Yes." As if this all makes perfect sense. "A spring wedding. By the lake. with flowers and trellises."

[iustus_rex]

"While I have no objection to any of that, on principle, what precisely does Indy have to do with any of this at all?"

[prydeful]

Helplessly, "I don't know. He's like a force of nature. One minute, he was congratulating, the next minute, he was threatening to put a knife to Aziraphael's back to make him perform the ceremony."

[iustus_rex]

He digests this, for a moment.

"... oh dear," he says, weakly.

[prydeful]

"He wants to know if we need a rabbi," glumly.

[iustus_rex]

"Good question," he agrees. "I. Well, I don't know the answer. Do we?"

[prydeful]

"Um."

"Maybe?" she offers. "...Do you want something in particular?"

[iustus_rex]

"Just... you, really," he says, reaching for her hand and pressing a light kiss to her knuckles.

"Although I am rather tempted to ask Adam if he'll stand up for me."

[prydeful]

She smiles at the kiss, then blinks.

"You want the antichrist to stand up for you."

[iustus_rex]

"He is my best friend here," Edmund points out, logically.

[prydeful]

"Yeeees, but I was going to ask your sisters to be part of the ceremony," uncertainly.

She's certain Adam would be there. She's not certain how well this might work.

[iustus_rex]

"You're forgetting something very important," he says, kissing her fingers again lightly.
