[Orym is quiet, listening close as Dorian speaks, though he does reach out to settle his hand on Dorian's urging it away from his legs to lace their fingers together.]
Yeah, I can see how that could happen. We want this to be ours.
[Not Dorian's parents, not anyone else's. But ah, there it is. He squeezes that hand gently.]
It's going to be perfect. There's no way it won't be. But they should want to come for you, not for the flower arrangements or the table decorations.
[He falls quiet for a moment before adding.] Maybe I could talk to them? I mean, I know I'm not exactly their first choice for a son-in-law, but... I want to take care of you, to make you happy. That has to count for something, right? All of us care about you, we should be able to find some common ground.
