[ Oh, he is dead serious, and Vaer can tell as much. That earns him a rather curious look from Vaer, though it also tugs their lips into a winning smile of their own as they wave his comment off dismissively. ]
Listen, while I do love to tempt married folks every now and again, but I could never do that to Mina— unless she needed to be, hm, rescued from her fate. [ A questioning look, a pale brow quirking and visibly so even against equally pale skin. ] But that won't be necessary, yes?
[ They give him another appraising look. Truth to tell, they and Elenaril spent a long while speculating on what Sumina's beau would be like, once Winter had given them a hint that she'd well and truly found her match while away at this hotel. But none of their guesses could ever account for this. ]
Though I must say, you're not what I thought you might be like.
[ It won't be necessary, no, and it's far too late for that, anyway; even if Vaer were to determine that Gojo is a terrible match for Miss Heartleaf, there's no extracting them from each other now. They're woven too deeply into the other's heart, sharing a love that literally breathed life into one of them.
That said, Gojo doesn't really feel a need to prove himself at the best of times, and now is no exception. He'll leave Vaer to reach their own conclusions about him, though it won't be long before they see just how smitten he is. He doesn't keep his affection for the innkeeper to himself... ]
Ohhhh? [ A playful lilt to his voice. ] And why's that? I'm every bit as charming and handsome as someone like Mina deserves, aren't I?
[ It is probably a trap, but Vaer doesn't see a real reason to grill or make a conversation difficult with the man who's built like a brick house and managed to woo the fantasy multiverse's most eligible yet unattainable bachelorette...
So, they simply shrug their shoulders before reaching over and helping themself to a bottle of wine waiting to be uncorked on the bar, while the other arm finds the back of the weeping pirate closest to them. ]
Well, yes! But considering all of the chaos and rowdiness she puts up with every day, I personally thought she would fall for someone... quieter.
[ She truly could not have found a less quiet person to fall in love with...a fact which Gojo seems quite aware and proud of, given the way he chuckles, patting himself on the shoulder. ]
You realize how long it took for her to recognize I was into her, even as loud and chaotic as I am? Ages! Someone quiet wouldn't stand a chance! She took a little...coaxing.
[ That's one way to put it, but Satoru is confident that his demeanor had something to do with Sumina coming into her own a little bit more throughout their time at the hotel. It's always how he's tried to lead, tried to live, holding nothing back, and if she took a little bit of that for herself...then he can only consider it a good thing.
A wave of his hand. ]
Besides, you know she loves the rowdiness, or she wouldn't do all this.
[ Sumina isn't the Elderflower's keeper out of obligation. She truly loves it here, and what she does. ]
[ Vaer would beg to differ on that earlier point, if only because they're sure there's another timeline out there where Sumina and some bookish, quiet but eloquent person surely managed to woo her via letters or some such. She's always writing so many of those, after all... It would have made a sweet story, too, but surely not as interesting as whatever unfolded between Sumina and Gojo. ]
Oh, that she does. Loathe as she would be to ever admit it.
[ A fact that they're sure Gojo has only become more sure of, now that he's seen what Sumina's day-to-day is like when she's not on vacation, or when she's not apparently dabbling in a bit of swashbuckling, herself. And one that is apparent to most everyone else, too, as the near-synchronized nodding of their crewmates attests.
Uncorking the bottle of wine deftly, Vaer commendably reaches for a glass to pour some for themself, though they've certainly drank straight from the bottle from time to time, too. ]
Think you could send my lads off with some ale so they can drink their woes away at their table? I'm dying to hear yours and Mina's story, but I'm not sure they'll survive through it.
