"No, I guess not. And Jesper would never let himself be limited to just one either." He reaches across to give Mat's arm a friendly pat. "You two really are meant for each other."
Marriage. He's still trying to wrap his head around it. They're all so young — a little older than Wilhelm, sure, but not by much. Marriage feels like something a long way down the road, beyond where sight can reach. He's had a hard enough time just finding someone and keeping them. But, he supposes, when you know you want to spend the rest of your life with someone, it's never too soon to begin.
"So when is the wedding? You're having a big party, right?"
And thank the Light for that. No jealous bouts, no possessiveness...Mat doesn't know how anyone puts up with all of that.
"And we're not that far along yet, haven't got a date or anything. Just...when we know it's safe, I suppose. But we will have the biggest party you've ever seen!"
That's a promise. As though Jesper would do anything else. He'd make the damn thing the event of the year, if not the decade.
"Of course you'll be a part of the whole thing, you're a good friend to two of us at least."
When we know it's safe. Loving someone in this world means taking a risk. Everything can shift in an instance. Just as easily as you came together and clicked into place, you can be pulled apart. Wilhelm shoves away the worries that always loom like shadows in the back of his mind, as if he might accidentally manifest the very things he worries about.
It's much nicer to think about the wild party Jesper will no doubt put on to celebrate his union with Mat and Kaz. When they dreamed they were gods, he'd accompanied Jesper to mortal weddings to bless the happy couples. Even without the aid of divine power, his friend's spirit is contagious.
