[once_a_king]

Cair Paravel was almost glowing from all the lights in and around the castle, marking the way clearly for all those travelers coming to the nuptials tomorrow.

The visitors from Fandom and elsewhere were escorted from just the portal just inside the woods to the gates of the castle where they were welcomed warmly and shown to their rooms by an

Xander wasn't going to be found far from the banquet food -- or from old friends. Luckily, the place was full of both, so he didn't have much problem choosing seats.

So, there was kind of a lot of glomping going on. Dawn figured it was okay, though - it wasn't like Sunnydalians had tons to celebrate on a daily basis.

Justification firmly in hand, she squealed, then ran to glomp Xander.

Pfft, like she needed justification. It was a day that ended in Y, right?
"Hi, you!"

"How's being an old married guy?"

Re: Rehearsal Dinner

Xander summoned a grin, not that it was all that hard. "It's been two whole months and we haven't turned into my parents yet. even though we live in a smaller space than they do. I think we win."

Re: Rehearsal Dinner

[lilpunkinbelly]

"Well, duh. Of course you win. You're Xander."

"Clearly they stuffed your memories with 8 years worth of some other Xander Harris," he said with a snort.

"You're fully human, in love with a great guy, and survived Buffy, Faith, Sunnydale, and Fandom, and you're still in one piece." Pause. "Mostly. I'd count that as a win."

"Oh, fine, bring the present into it..." Xander snorted and waved a hand. Which made the poufy sleeve do a poufy sleeve thing, narrowly missing a nearby dish of mashed...something. Probably potatoes. probably.

"Does it make up for it?" She asked, genuinely curious. "Enjoying the clothes? They're very...poufy."

Re: Rehearsal Dinner

[needsaparrot]

"Way more than makes up, and I refuse to answer that on the grounds that I don't have enough mach points left to lose that many. I'd have negative macho. I'd just have mach."

Re: Rehearsal Dinner

[lilpunkinbelly]

"Actually, negative macho is wacuo." Mostly. Yes, she was that big a dork, thank you very much.

He frowned. "So now I'm not just unmanly, I'm wacko?"

Re: Rehearsal Dinner

[lilpunkinbelly]

"Oh, not just now," she told him helpfully. "Except for the unmanly part, because, um...no."

Look, old crushes died hard, okay? Even if they were married and getting their poufy sleeves in the mashed veggies.

Re: Rehearsal Dinner

[needsaparrot]

"Thank you. Both your support and your evaluation of my ongoing mental condition are greatly valued." That might have been his tongue sticking out. Just saying.

Re: Rehearsal Dinner

[lilpunkinbelly]

Dawn was certainly not above sticking her tongue out in return. "You know you love me."
