As they approached her door, Vora stopped and turned to Johann. “So… how exactly do you want to go about this?” she asked. “I mean, obviously I can start the conversation, but I don’t want it to feel like it’s my thing. I want you to feel included, and it’s important for Jerrin that we’re on the same page here.”

“It’s totally not your thing; it’s our thing,” Johann said reflexively. “I mean… how complicated is it? We’re getting married. You can start it, or I can start it, or we can find some way to say it at the same time. Or take turns or something.”

Actually, what’s the etiquette for this anyway? Johann wondered. I mean, I’d have asked her father for her hand if he was in the picture… that’s weird to do with a kid, right? He didn’t actually ask Vora this, as she would probably have been even more confused by it than by an average human, who likely would have found the whole question very archaic. Charming, perhaps, but archaic.

“Like, what specifically do we need to be on the same page about? There isn’t some kind of subtle Tenraith thing you haven’t mentioned to me yet, is there?” Given their history, it was actually a pretty fair question.
