[ It's still the small hours of the morning when Yuri flips his video on to record; he's in one of Otabek's oversized t-shirts, and still in bed from the looks of it. His free arm not holding the phone is slung around Otabek's neck, and at first glance it looks as though Yuri is flipping off the camera- but no, that's his ring finger on proud display, a delicate band of black with inset diamonds clearly and proudly shown off for the world to see. Yuri's smiling like he never does- wide and proud, his eyes shut and scrunched up with obvious delight. If one were to look closely, they might even see the faintest hint of tears still clinging to his blond lashes.

With a jubilant shout, Yuri gets on to let the inhabitants of Riverview know: ]

GUESS WHO'S FUCKING ENGAGED, BITCHES!!!! [ He whoops excitedly, turning his head as though he's about to kiss the side of Otabek's own face, but the video ends before he gets there, preferring that kind of affection for private, thanks. ]

[ He's immediately impressed, to be honest. ]

Thank you. Really.

[heavenfell]

[Hey, she has been in love and still is in love. Being engaged, having a marriage...

It all sounds so nice.]

No problem. You've given a lot of people hope. If love can be found here, maybe we can all be happy.

[bringbackgold]

I'm very, very fortunate.

[ Ah - and. ]

I'm Otabek. And my fiance... is Yuri.

[heavenfell]

Nice to meet you, Otabek - and Yuri. I'm Alexiel. [She gives a small sigh, blowing a dark curl away from her cheek.] I am a new arrival.

[bringbackgold]

Nice to meet you.

[ Small, small smile. ]

I thought maybe. But you never know. I've been here about ten months.

[heavenfell]

Ten months is plenty of time to learn the ropes. I could stand to learn from you if you don't mind being a teacher?

[She smiles to herself, amused by a thought she does not share.]

Your marriage will be blessed by one angel at least.

[bringbackgold]

I don't mind at all. In fact, I think that's the right thing to do.

[ After all, she is blessing their future marriage. Although he doesn't know what that means. ]

[heavenfell]

I'll wait until after your honeymoon. I doubt I'll be going anywhere that quickly.

[bringbackgold]

It'll still be some time. You'll probably have things well figured out by then.

[ Small, small smile. ]

I don't mind. Some go fast. Some don't.

[heavenfell]

I like to think I'm not a slow learner.

[She can't be. It was a matter of survival before.]

I don't mind being here.

[bringbackgold]

You'll have it all figured out.

[ Slight smile. ]

So if you have any questions, it's okay to ask.

[heavenfell]

Maybe.

[She frowns and looks away.]

I'm part of the Perimeter Guard. Will that keep me busy?

[bringbackgold]

You'll be pretty busy, I think.

[ Color him surprised. ]

My fiance [ the first time he's used this ] goes on missions with people in it from time to time. It can be dangerous.

[ He's not really...a fighter himself, though. ]

[heavenfell]

I prefer it that way.

[Less time to think; less time to wonder and remember.]

If we're assigned together, he should be in good hands.

[What she knows best is fighting.]

[bringbackgold]

I agree. It has allowed time to fly by.

[ He's never had a reason to distrust. ]

He always has been.

[heavenfell]

There is something about your fiancé that reminds me of...an acquaintance. [She can't call him a friend because she sort of killed him. Oops.] He will be loyal to you.

[bringbackgold]

He's never given me a reason to think otherwise.
