Public engagement, technically, though I'm not making it that public, for both our sakes.

Sweeney says a few words, we say we commit to marrying in a year, and he ties our hands together. It's an Irish thing.

I think that's a great idea.

Re: Audio

[worthallthis]

Yeah?

[B does sound kind of relieved. He thought it was a good idea, but it's nice to have confirmation.]

Gonna do it on his birthday.

Re: Audio

How's he doing with it so far?

Re: Audio

[worthallthis]

I haven't told him.

[A pause.]

Thinking I'll tell him right before we go do it. Keep him from fretting himself out of his skin for weeks beforehand. Then we'll get it over with and he'll move straight into fretting about the marriage part. Skip some of that worrying.

Your surprise birthday present to him is a handfasting?

...I think he'll love it.

Re: Audio

[There's a grin in B's voice.]

It's tradition, anyway. A kiss was my birthday present to him two years ago.

Re: Audio

How am I supposed to compete with that?

Re: Audio

[worthallthis]

I don't think you have to. You're not his best guy. The bar's a little higher for me than for you.

Re: Audio

[ukan]

Excuse you, I've been his best friend and his brother since before you got here. Learn your place, pup.

[He's teasing]

Re: Audio

[worthallthis]

If you want to try to one-up getting handfasted, you can certainly try.

[Teasing, back, of course.]

Re: Audio

[ukan]

That's it. We're on. I'm playing dirty now.

Re: Audio

[worthallthis]

[B laughs.]

I look forward to seeing what you got.

[And he's got a good month to figure something out.]
