Mmhm. It got all deep and rumbly. I liked it a lot.
[ yuri giggles softly and looks down to the gardens again, glad that they're far enough up that their conversation likely won't be overheard by any passers-by. not that he's ashamed of anything he's saying, but-- well. it's private!
and okay maybe a little embarrassing if other people heard.
his eyes drift back over and he lifts a hand to lightly drum his fingers against the windowsill, tapping out a nonsense rhythm. ]
Finn? I'm really excited about this. Us. The wedding.
Me too. I didn't think I would be! I mean, I still miss where I grew up and everything and I still think this fancy life is a bit much but... I'm happier to be doing it all with you. It makes me feel better.
(yuri makes him feel better. he smiles over at him, happy to get a conversation face-to-face today. )
To think, of all the people in the world, we ended up in an arranged marriage together.
( finn has always loved fairytales, even believed in many of them, but this might make him a true believer in fate, especially if things continue going so well between him and yuri. )
My parents may have never done much for me, but at least they did this.
[ surprisingly, there's no bitterness in his voice when he says that. yuri means it; he's glad that his parents have brought him here, to finn, even if it was wholly against his will.
it's the one thing he'll ever thank them for, honestly.
yuri turns back to his little tray and finishes off the last few morsels and finally settles in with his tea, head tipping to the side to rest lightly against the windowsill. ]
( he has mostly had his fill of their afternoon treats, though he does occasionally reach over to break a piece of cookie off to pop it into his mouth. he realized halfway through the last round of snacking that shoveling entire cookies into his mouth made him very slow to respond. )
You said you studied different types of dances, Yuri? What are your favorite, ah, genres?
( not that finn has the grace to learn anything more elaborate than a simple dance for their wedding celebration. but he can certainly show an interest in whatever yuri is interested in. the boy has already listened to finn talk at length about his favorite rose bushes outside. )

We need to dance, once I'm feeling better.
