“Maybe a tracking device? It would be nice if we could do something for the whole court really…incase any of us need a quick escape.” He wasn’t sure if anything like that already existed, he hadn’t heard of such, but it would be useful if it wasn’t already a thing.” After all mirrors large enough for us to walk through do garner attention…and can be moved or broken. If we leave them in places people will think they’re trash.” And it took away escapes for them. “I’d say if there was a way to keep them from being moved…make them some art project or something? I don’t know…” He wished there was something which could be done to help with this issue, because it was a big one.
“I can handle it all, I’ll have you by my side helping me with it.” Even if all Aloysius did was stay by his side and get him tea, or some fruit to nibble on, he’d manage the word and get it all done. “I just fear what sort of numbers we’ll be dealing with. The food, the flowers, a cake big enough for everyone, not to mention the venue and dress. The numbers are going to be insane.” Because of course the tiny blond general had an absolutely massive family, people just didn’t realize how large, it helped when not everyone had the Evan’s last name as it covered up the families true size. It was massive.
“Not to mention photographer, videographer. I don’t know if she can take an add out in a society paper but I’m sure she will if she can…or a magazine…” It had him fearing for all the numbers he’d be dealing with and the costs. “And I just want you there…since you are in charge of the family money and business….because the numbers…” And while he doubted the other would say no to anything, understanding why it needed to be large, he still wanted him there - it felt right. To go over something big liek this…together. He wanted to sit down and go over bills and things with Aloysius, to share in those little things…and the big ones - like this.
“I’m already starting to deal with things, since we have a place booked and deposit down on it for the day. But now the rest she’s got to do.” And he just…he agreed about the need for a vacation after it. “Can we go on a vacation after it? Maybe to Paris? The opera?” He questioned, thinking he might like to see something musical.
“If your mother turns up I’ll send my father after her, no way she can get mad at him.” His father was charming and cheerful, polite, and was someone who just swept people up into his joy. He was a good man and might be able to keep Aloysius’ mother away from them during Melody’s wedding…and during their own. “We’ll worry about your mother…when the time comes.” Agreeing with the other as he washed off he helped the other out and into a bathrobe which hung up, alongside his own which he pulled on, and off to the bedroom he shuffled the other. “Do you need bed cloths or are you good tonight?” Since coming into better health, and weighing more, the other wasn’t as cold all the time and so he now asked. He didn’t worry about him always freezing.

“Maybe, but something in the future after resting because Desiree must be tired as well from all the work she put in.” Even if she was off doing her own things he knew she’d been busy from the noises he heard coming from her room some nights.
The thought of all the expenses and things gave him a headache and he whined slightly into their shoulder. “A nightmare is what it will be…a very expensive one.”
With Liam’s help, he felt a bit less unsteady when it came to navigating their home. There was still that hesitancy as he reached out with his free hand to make sure he didn’t bump into anything out of habit.
“Not tonight, they may bother the new scar and my skin feels tingly still.” It would be uncomfortable more than anything and he was sure they didn’t mind if he went to sleep as is, minus the robe.
Sitting down on the bed, he took a moment to try looking around and found everything still dim and muddled but with a hint more of definition to the blobs he saw. Still not much better but the fact it was changing at all was good, at least he felt like it might be.
Trailing his fingers over the scar on his throat, feeling it lightly before settling his hand down on the mattress, he smiled lightly when he heard the click of the lock on the bedroom door. It was a small thing but it was enough to keep him at ease.
“Thank you darling, for everything tonight.” Anyone else might have called him crazy or ignored his worries. He would have pulled away and holed up like he used to but he hadn’t had to in so very long. While he couldn’t deny he wanted a cigarette this past month, he was more than content that he had Liam instead.

“Yes, and we’ll have to help in paying for the nightmare. Writing checks and booking things and watching the memos come in for all the expenses. Might need to have a pot of tea going, or two, each time we go over the expenses.” As he was certain they’d need it, it was going to be a lot, but at least they had the money for this wedding.
Coming back over to the bed, leaning down to brush his lips to the others. “Anything I can do to help and bring you ease tonight. Now, go get under the bedding.” Because if they were going to sleep in the nude he might as well also, especially if the fabric might wind up touching the other's new scar and bothering him.
“I want us to both get a long sleep tonight, I think we both deserve it.”

Nodding, he slid back on the bed and got under the blankets, careful of his back when pulling it partway back up. “Tea and some nice calming classical music while we look over her tall order.” It wouldn’t be good for him to interfere much with it, especially if he wanted things to get better between him and his sister.
Pulling the other close as they got in bed as well, he settled into place after a bit of discomfort at the blanket passed. It was better than if he tried sleeping on his back or side where they might press against it though. “Yes, we do, and I hope Desiree and that other mauvian rest as well.”
Resting his cheek on their chest, he tapped his fingers lightly in time with their heartbeat. Calmer now than his had been most of the evening, something he knew probably worried the other even if he was used to it.

“Yes, that sounds about right.” He was certain they’d need both things to keep them calm when looking over the numbers for the wedding Melody would be planning. “At least we’re going minimal and being mindful of things.” Not that they needed to worry about money, such a thing for him to still wrap his mind about at times, but neither of them needed or wanted something over the top for a wedding.
Wrapping his arms loosely about the others waist, as Aloysius settled in against his chest, he leaned down to press a kiss to the top of the others head. “Alright love, get some sleep.” Calling out for alexa to turn the lights off, something new he’d set up recently. It was easier for times like this, when neither of them could reach the lights.
