[Embarrassing as it is for Diarmuid to admit, it's only natural that he's been thinking about this kind of thing recently, right? It's not really something he'd had much say in the first time around- largely of his own volition- but now that he doesn't have servants to do most of the organisation... well, he's going to have to be a little more hands-on.]

A question, if you will. What kinds of marital traditions did your people observe in your homelands? This world has much in common with my own so we share some of the same customs but with so many of us from so many places I'm curious about others too. What kinds of ceremonies do you hold? What brings the couple fortune?

Forgive my superstition but let's just say that the betrothed aren't exactly blessed with great luck. It might take more than a horseshoe and some rye to ward off misfortune in their case.

Marital traditions generally involve a great deal of ceremony, Diarmuid. Music, dance, song. That sort of thing. Flute-players. Garlands.

It's been a while since I was married.

Is someone you know getting married?

[ua_duibhne]

In a manner of speaking, yes.

Aye, it's the same for me- and for all the spectacle I barely remember most of it. But more importantly... you dance, Saber? Is your footwork as impressive as your swordplay?

[arturiarex]

Admittedly I am not as skilled at dancing, but I have done it. I indulged a little at the masque.

[ua_duibhne]

I must have missed you. A shame, really- we're closely matched in combat but I'm confident I could best you in dance.

[is he or is he just looking for an excuse to challenge her who can say]

[arturiarex]

I believe you would be mistaken, Diarmuid.

[ Look out, she's competitive. ]

Your self-assurance is admirable but misplaced in this instance.

We should test it.

[arturiarex]

If this is a challenge, then I accept.

Name the time and place.
