[..."Completely innocent daughter," eh? While he'll glance around her plans he won't be too nosy and pry. He can respect her privacy? But he will definitely arch a brow at that before chuckling.]

Suppose it might be more than just "normal."

[And then a pause because he wonders how Mid will actually feel and what she might think. No, perhaps she already suspects? Hell everyone would at this point, but there's a difference between a stranger's opinions and thoughts and his own daughter's.

Well he supposes he should just come out with it.]

Benedikta finally accepted my proposal.

[midifications]

More than normal, eh?

[Before she can tell him to be out with it, he tells her. It takes her a moment, but if Cid was worried, he shouldn't have been, because Mid lights up almost immediately after.]

Did she?! Am I officiatin' it?! [Yes, she's still hung up on that.] I mean I guess if you tell me no, I'll be disappointed that I'm not but not disappointed that yer both finally there.

[ramuhs]

[There is definitely some relief, even if he knows he shouldn't have been nervous at all. He knows how supportive she's been about it, but...still. So there's a bright smile to match her own before he laughs.]

I'm afraid there won't be any official ceremony.

[He takes both her hands then, squeezing them gently.]

The plan is to just do it somewhere private, but we can still hold a celebratory party after.

[midifications]

[Mid's face falls a little, but it's replaced quickly with a smile when he mentions a party after.]

Then it ain't official until I officiate it when you get back! ...well, if you and Enna are fine with me makin' it official like that.

[Because family official is better than someone else doing that for them, or something.]

I said I'd do it when I got here, so I'm just making good on me promise, yeah?

[ramuhs]

[That slight fall in her expression does not go by unnoticed, and he does feel a little guilty. It was one thing he had wondered about, as he does want to share that joy with his beloved daughter. So even though she seems to cheer up, he pulls her into a tight hug.]

Aye, there's no other way. ...But thank you for understanding.

[midifications]

When are you goin' then? So I can properly plan for when you go an' come back an' all, yeah?

[It doesn't take much for her to hug him back of course; slight disappointment aside, she's more happy than anything for the two people she loves the most here.]

I'll try t' have everythin' ready by then as long as I have at least a little time.

[ramuhs]

[He chuckles at that.]

We don't have a set date yet. Mostly because I don't want to interfere with Clive and Jill's wedding.

[A wry grin.]

But we also can't wait on them forever, so while not next month, the month after has potential.

[going to have to revisit that later—]

[midifications]

That's fair, yeah. I guess, just give me a decent heads up so I can deploy the 'make Enna have to eat a piece of cake in front of everyone with you' party, but it does give me enough time to figure everything out for it.

[Already thinking, but that's the Telamon way here.]

I won't make anythin' that'll explode for it, but maybe a real fancy drink fountain. I can't have any yet, but that won't stop me from makin' it. [...] I'll make sure it doesn't spray anyone in the face, either.

[ramuhs]

[There's just a slight arch of the brow before he can't help but laugh and ruffle her hair. Yep, that's his influence right there.]

Better start working on it now, then. Get the bugs out before we risk another "storm."

[Ah ha ha ha. Ha. Ha.]

But no need to overdo it, either.

[midifications]

I know, I know, you're the people person, Enna ain't. I am gonna tell her that she'll have a specific piece o' cake to be able to smash into your face though, I keep hearin' that's how it should be done! She'd probably blast you away with a gust o' wind if you tried it on her, though.

[With Benna and Mid together, they're just going to Bully Cid :) sorry, that's the way of it.]

Guess I should make sure it tastes good, at least.

[ramuhs]

[Wow. WOW.]

What, smashing cake in my face? What the hell kind of tradition is that?

[midifications]

No idea! I heard people talkin' about it, so it's gotta be a thing, yeah? So I gotta let it happen here, it has to be right while we're here.

[Look, if it's a tradition here, she has to keep up with it. Cid could just.. feed Benna a piece of cake anyway, probably, but smashing her face into the cake?? Absolutely not.]

At least yer gettin' a warnin', I could have just let you go without.

[ramuhs]

[A slight roll of his eyes.]

Appreciated. Just as long as no one else decides to try and ruin the cake.

...Might should consider a separate one for that.

[midifications]

As if I'd let just anyone ruin a perfectly good cake, are you kiddin' me? I would, in fact, have one for smashin' and one for eatin'. That's just obvious!

[...hm.]

Think Enna would let you get away with at least smudgin' frosting on her nose or something?

[ramuhs]

I think I can work with that. Wouldn't be the first time.

[A mischievous grin as he knows he's doing the "TMI DAD" thing.]

[midifications]

[....he's definitely getting a disgusted daughter look, she's choosing to not engage with— lmao who am I kidding]

Oh my gods, dad, I didn't need to know about that! Gods, keep that to yourself or I'm kickin' you out of the dungeon!

[UGH.]

[ramuhs]

[He just LAUGHS, knowing full well what her reaction would be.]

Now I wonder what you are imagining.

[Doesn't stop, no.]

[midifications]

[Just this look. Because godsdamn it, Cid, why are you like this.]

[ramuhs]

[Just another smirk and chuckle as he ruffles her hair.]

But all right, we'll play nice.

[Well, as nice as one might expect.]
