"Do you think she'll be angry if I force a day off into her schedule?" She asked with a smug grin. She may be a Council member herself now, but Valery had her ways to make things happen anyway. Of course, she did hope that Amani was looking forward to it all as much as she was. Between duty and this wedding, there was a lot less time to hang out together.

She missed the girl's nights out.

"But I'll talk to Kahlil Noble about it after the wedding sometime. He wants to meet more of my friends, and I'd really like him to as well," she said with a faint but noticeable blush on her cheeks.

The comment also seemed to be a good introduction for their next topic, as Alicio voiced some of his thoughts about the wedding. Excitement, joy, anxiety — she recognized all of it from her own wedding, even though it hadn't been nearly as big as theirs was going to be. "That's all normal, and up until she's standing there with you, it'll stay like this," Valery told him before reaching over to place her hand over his for just a second.

"But once it's time to say those few words to each other, you're going to feel like the happiest person in the Galaxy. Your lives will change forever, and you'll never want it to be different again."

"Not a chance," the Count said, smiling openly. "I'm sure she'd welcome it, if you offered to bail her out." Alicio knew Amani found a lot of purpose in her work as a healer. But he also knew she loved Val. "Just... maybe when things calm down a little."

As Valery mentioned Kahlil again, Alicio noted the subtle blush on her cheeks, and found a knowing smirk. One that he didn't comment on, but the Master could likely easily guess it's nature.

As they transitioned, Alicio let the Keshian put a hand on his, feeling mildly comforted by the touch. He stood up from his seated position, placing his food in his bag, wondering at Valery's shared experience. "Thank you. It's... good to know it's normal to feel this way. Nervous, over something that's so... unequivocally good."

"Alright," the Count finally said, chuckling. "Let's get out of here before I pour my entire heart out to you. I have an image of an emotionally-distant sad sap to maintain."

"I'll pick the right time," she assured him before her eyes picked up on his smirk. As easy as it was for her to see through him, Alicio had his way to see through her as well. Not too strange with how long they'd been friends, and Valery wasn't exactly good at hiding her feelings about Kahlil from anybody either.

Luckily, the transition to the wedding shifted the focus back on him.

"Oh yeah, I'd be worried if you weren't a little nervous," she said with a smirk. "Fear, nervousness, anxiety — they spark when you really care about something. It's a good sign," she shot a teasing wink.

"You lost that image a long time ago, but yes, let's get out of here. I promised to play some board games with Vera tonight." She chuckled, stood up, and waited for him to join her before she walked off toward the spaceport.
