Concept: Rook, still in the dating phase, casually refers to Lucanis as their husband. Lucanis has already been thinking of himself as basically married because he's Super Serious about the relationship, so he doesn't even notice.
One of the others (possibly Viago?) looks like they might say something. Teia punches them and whispers, "Don't you dare."
They don't figure out the verbal slip until they're already engaged and Teia remarks that she really thought it would happen sooner.
#rook and lucanis: I'm making a commitment to someone so it's basically marriage.#same difference.#rookanis#yes lucanis would NORMALLY notice things like this but his brain has been filling in the blank so often & so insistently that it slips past#Lucanis: HOW did I miss that?#Spite: you've been. thinking of. yourself. that way. for ages!#slight chance this gets Lucanis to be a tiny bit less of a workaholic for a minute#he does NOT like being unable to distinguish his thoughts from reality#it's the dad scene from b99 but Teia is like do NOT call them out they are skittish and WILL bolt
