"About which part?"

"Not being good enough at being a husband? Not being as good at sex as some other person you've - not finding a way out of here and never being useful at anything with one arm -"

Petpet. "I think if you can maintain your current average level of wonderfulness then I will be perfectly content with you for the rest of my life.

"Also I've, uh, never actually had sex with anyone, so."

" - oh.

Uh, okay. That's - good. I mean I wasn't - I didn't -"

Aaaah, frick, what if he was looking forward to someone who actually knew how to do anything -

"Is that... bad?"

"No! It's good! - but not, like, in a way where I was secretly considering it a deficiency of yours before, I really wasn't! I'd thought about it and I figured that the way Chelish people see it you were overlooking the same thing -"

...hug.

"I think I kind of assume you'll have slightly more idea what you're doing. Since, like - I mean I know having sex with men is presumably very different but I'm kind of assuming there's at least a little skill transfer."

" - maybe? I'm not very sure, actually. I'm not worried we won't figure it out, just that - it'd make me sad if you'd had better, you know?"

Snuggle. "Well. I haven't."

Snuggle. "'kay."

"Still hope you're not, like. Disappointed, and stuff. I don't think not having anything to directly compare it to actually necessarily prevents people from being disappointed."

"'m not going to be disappointed. I love you. Being with people you love isn't ever disappointing, even if they're - very tired or dunno what they're doing or lost weight or something."

"Okay, then. That's good."

"People only care about that stuff when they don't love each other, I think."

"Ah. Well then you have nothing to worry about, do you."

"I guess not. Love you."

"Love you, too."

They go back. They tell Fazil and Mahdi, who are not at all surprised.

And so they can be married. The locals are married by Ihysian clerics (never magical, of course, but the people here maintain the concept of religion and of religious workers), and have their own set of vows to be said in front of everyone. They're told before the ceremony what they'll be asked to promise. It goes like this:

"Do you, Korva, pledge to love this man as dearly as your own flesh, to offer him all that is yours, to nourish and provide for him as well as for yourself, and to defend all that is dear to him? Do you accept him as your sole husband, forsaking all others and devoting yourself to him until death part you?"

And she does. Gladly.

Hagan's question is exactly the same, with his name and her pronouns and the word 'wife' swapped in.

It's nicer than the Osirian thing, he thinks. He vows to love her and offer her all that is his and nourish and provide for her and defend all that is dear to her and forsake all others and devote himself to her until death parts them.

Then they can have a lovely ceremony followed by a party with music and dancing and lots and lots of food. It's very nice, and she is very distracted the entire time by the fact that she is now married to Hagan.

It's really kind of weird how you're supposed to spend your wedding celebrating with lots of people instead of with your wife, who you presumably like better than all of those people. Maybe it makes more sense when your family's there. He is a tiny bit sad that his family can't be there. 

Maybe they can sneak out of their party.

She maybe wants to triple-check that Zara will be fine at Fazil's for a few days, and wants to probably at least acknowledge the existence of some of her acquaintances, and also eat some cake, but then yeah, that sounds good.

They have a room reserved at the local inn and can head on up to it without too much bothering with any more people.

"Are you sure about this? You can still run away, you know. Tell everyone I have a tail."

"Can not. And I wouldn't leave you for having a tail."
