[Kaveh snorts.] And he's not wrong that phrase usually only turns up in the lewder novels he gets from Yae Publishing House. But you can do whatever you want.
Just try not to be too offended when he's grumbly at your actual wedding, okay?
That's saying more about his choices in reading than anything else.
[But then that thought drops because-- Wedding?! They're not even talking about anything like that yet! Heizou coughs awkwardly, doing his best to act like he isn't blushing.]
Th-That would still be quite a ways away... And I would assume he'd tear up the invitation on principal.
Now you and I both know she's not going to settle for substitutes when the big prize is on the horizon.
[Kaveh hums a little.]
You should probably talk to Lyney before she decides to find out what the hold up is from either of you, Lynette is a very clever and driven young woman.
[And if she starts to get impatient you will WISH it was still only Kaveh bullying you, Heizou.]
[He's blushing, though he does manage a little laugh.]
Lyney and I will talk about that sort of thing when we feel like we're ready for it, okay? Not all of us have over ten years of tension best resolved with marriage~
[There's a long pause, and then another one of those laughing sighs. Both resigned and incredulous as Heizou shakes his head.]
Man alive. When did you get so good at reading people? And we're not even standing face to face. Maybe you should come work with Sherlock and I at the agency.
[That's about as close as he'll get to outright admitting that Kaveh's nearly hit the nail on the head. Because it is scary. But it's also more than that, through no fault of Lyney's.]

He'd probably throw it out, but as I'd be quite hurt if I wasn't invited, he'd end up coming along with me anyway.

Oh, you would certainly be invited-- If we ever reach such a point, anyway.

[His tone softens a little bit, with clear understanding.]
It's just a little frightening, to reach out for happiness you're not sure you deserve, isn't it?
