"I'm...I don't know..." he murmured. "Mixed? The past couple of days has been, at once, all I hoped it would be and all I hoped it would not be. It was a good idea to come here, I cannot deny that. The wedding was lovely. Thank you for putting up with my family for all that."

Fendros turned his head to plant a kiss on Ahnasha's cheek and looked ahead again with lowered eyes. "It means a lot that you performed the ceremony with me. I feel as though taking those vows let me...be sincere about the certainty I feel. Even if it's just a tradition, I'm glad to call you wife."

After expressing his gratitude, Fendros smile shrank and he held his breath as if hesitating to continue. Focussing on the ceremony obviously did not detract from the troubles they had just walked away from.
