// now we are hanging out in the backyard //
Hearing the softness of her voice, Sunjata glances toward her before he’s looking toward the flame in the hearth. His head tilts slightly, enough that the dangle earring set behind the hEARs brushes against the top of his shoulder as she offers her admission. And fuck, it is a heavy weight, one that he’s also glad she doesn’t have the attuned bond for to feel his apprehension with the idea of it. Not because he didn’t know Jack, because he did to an extent, but because she was so young.
And he remembers his whole idea of marriage – though it probably differs, given the backwards and shitty tradition Korofi often had for weddings. So he’d promised he wouldn’t get married and partake in the rituals they had. And here he was… Heading toward wedding number three. “Yeah, sounds like.” The humorless laugh huffs out of his chest as he spots her brittle smile. “Is he… The kinda guy to get married?” He asks, without saying the obvious of I can’t see him ever getting married, regardless of time.
As for the rest of it, her head presses against his broad shoulder and his arm squeezes her lightly as he shakes his head. “When it came to Ru and Nate and I.. it wasn’t so much about how much we loved each other. It was more about how shitty the issue was.” His nose wrinkles as he glances toward her with a shrug of the shoulder she isn’t leaning against. “We knew from.. Seren.. How Safrin could be, so I promised your mom when her and Nate and I all got together that there wouldn’t be kids unless it was with her.” Nate couldn’t have kids anyway, so it was the best that they could do at that time, if their lives had been a linear line. “So when I fucked that up, it destroyed a part of her. And it’s still very much a rule now that we’re back together.” He hums with the soft snort.
But then he’s recollecting his starfall jaunt and the lilies, feeling the spark of warmth in her tone as he rolls his eyes playfully and lets a warm chuckle escape him. “Yeah, eventually. We’re still trying to figure out how to navigate everything from the infection and the last thing we wanna do is have this big event they could try to walk into when we’re already on their shit list.” It put a real crimp in the plans, to say the least. “But you’re gonna be the first to know, kid, don’t you worry.” His accent tumbles out a little thicker as he nudges her back with a snort.

Feel free to use magic/force on Sunjata, without killing him <3
Sunjata speaks with an Australian accent and has a passive magic that makes him produce a subtle scent that matches exactly to whatever those around him most desire him to smell like.
