Caleb
Very little is needed
to make a happy life
He didn’t know, well...anyone, really. He didn’t fully understand social customs, nor did quite understand people just showing up to a wedding. Caleb had never thought about weddings as really anything. Never before did he attend one, and never did he even dream of having one! Even now, the latter didn’t even go through his mind.
The young man took in the sight, like something out of a fairytale with the glistening snow and lanterns around the field. Truly a beautiful scene; one he made sure to commit to memory.
Of course he knew who was getting married, but he didn’t actually know them. It wasn’t difficult to spot the groom, though. A handsome man with fine clothing standing at the end of the aisle, and the shepherd simply nodded cordially if he made eye contact with him. It was his wedding, and surely Bastien had plenty on his mind that didn’t include small talking with a guest that he didn’t even really know past perhaps passing each other on the street. If that.
He saw Remi beneath a tree, which brought a quick smile to his face, remembering his interaction with the man holding a baby. It seemed like forever ago.
Then, his eyes found the shape of the man he had met in the Underground, and seeing him better now under the lantern light rather than the glowing horns of the luxere, Caleb felt his chest tighten, his mouth going dry. Gods, it was ridiculous! He wasn’t even looking his way: he was talking to the groom.
His attention was stolen then by the luxere and the unicorn, and with a small grin, the shepherd approached easily. “Hey, beautiful,” he said softly, his hand out to the deer to see if she would recognize him sans fur.
It’s all within yourself,
in your way of thinking
