[ He sends her a pic of his ring. Featured on his left ring finger, which was nothing particularly new for Vex but it was more subdued then his usual gaudy rings. ]
signed, sealed & delivered -- he married me the day after vday
promise me no party, no ceremony, no anything or i'll go on a murderous rampage. i told him no when he asked me to marry him because i didn't want any of that shite.
[ there's going to be silence because SOMEONE is a little heartbroken she didn't get to be there. also that she didn't get to dress him. or herself. or mark. or plan a kick ass debauchery party. or anything.
she takes a selfish moment before--]
I AM BOTH SO MAD AND SO DAMN HAPPY AT YOU. IT'S BEEN FOUR DAYS. WHY AM I JUST LEARNING THIS NOW?
[ Comes the first text, then he checks his calendar. ]
3 days! we got married on the 15th! and the 16th i was the best man at one of my mate's weddings and the 17th
i dont know its been all a blur, love. i can't stop fiddling with the ring
i'm a wreck i dont want to tell people because i think marriage is such a crock of shit but this makes him so happy so i told him its okay to tell people but then
[ okay, so she manages to hold back all her bitching for later. 3 days is not any better than 4 also OVER TEXT? she's very sad. but she can read that he's freaking out so...
not!selfish Kenzi to the rescue.]
since when has vex cared about what other people think? screw 'em if they aren't happy for you.
[ a thousand texts later, she'd typed out several responses and had to delete them because of the next thing he said. she types out how not wanting to lose someone is not a good reason to marry someone but he goes on. she then types out that he won't lose mark. that he should have done what makes him happy but he goes on.
and she ends up keeping it pretty simple.]
but it's not a bad thing.
cue the hallmark card response but: love does that to you. changes you.
no, you're not crazy, okay? it's okay to feel that way, vex. i felt that way once and it's a great feeling. it's cuckoo bananas, holy shit what's happening to my brain and stuff but it's amazing.
dunno i havent asked Mark about that yet. shock, remember? havent had time to worry about the new father-in-law
it's hard trying to separate him from the Dyson i remember at the point i came back from. that Dyson i know would be alright with it, we fought side-by-side, and were supporting each other by the end. it was odd, but good.
this one? i dunno, but we had a friendly pint which seems a step in the right direction. i think it'll be alright.
[ Which was a far cry from the Vex from before he left- the one who panicked and thought he was going to be killed when Mark told Dyson they moved in together. ]
[ things have been different since he got back to be sure. she feels... less connected with him but that's more her dealing with her own shit than anything else.]
yeah? i was flipping out at you a second ago and you think i'm zen?
zen about Dyson, yeah. it's different when you actually feel like you're a part of the team, instead of just an outsider struggling to figure out what you really want.

fuck i dont know i'm still in shock?

all my friends would probably be happy for me that isn't the problem
the problem is this is something i never believed in, it's such bullshit, it never meant anything to me
it means so much to him i mean you should have seen his face when i said no
but then we talked about it and i just couldnt say no, kenz, i couldnt
i cant lose him, i need him
bloody hell
it means something to me now and i'm just having a hard time coming to terms with it
how much i've changed
i'm so happy, i honestly am, i wouldn't change any of this for the world
it's just so much

yeah, it does. it really does
i don't know, i've never been in love before and i didn't expect it to be this much
but it happened, yeah? here and back "home". even the oracles knew i was in love with him and i barely knew him a month
it's so fast, but it feels right and we just keep getting deeper and deeper
and i don't want it to stop
fuck, i'm mad, yeah?
i'm happy for you, i mean it

thanks, luv. i'm happy for me too, which is really really strange
so how'd dyson take it?

this new and improved vex is weirdly zen.
[ things have been different since he got back to be sure. she feels... less connected with him but that's more her dealing with her own shit than anything else.]
yeah? i was flipping out at you a second ago and you think i'm zen?
zen about Dyson, yeah. it's different when you actually feel like you're a part of the team, instead of just an outsider struggling to figure out what you really want.
gee, thanks for reminding me. [ how she's an outsider right now, despite making up with bo and dyson.]
guess married people aren't big on the whole being subtle thing? yes, you're freaking out about the other stuff but it's all going to be okay, vex.

[ wtf are you talking about Kenzi. ]
you are the heart of the team
if being fae was a qualification then the doc wouldnt be there either
there wasnt a wedding we just got our rings and signed some papers
[ And said vows but he's not going to tell her that!!! ]
