Thank god Darcy chose Helena, is his first thought, because god love them, she’s the only one doing anything reassuring right now. Not that there’s any reason to reassure him, it’s a happy occasion, his kid’s found someone good for them and they’re going to be happy, and…
… yeah, it’s just—he had no idea. They never mentioned anything or gave him any indication that they were planning on this. But she’s still asking for his blessing—the two of them don’t need it, they don’t, but it’s still reassuring to know that they want his approval. Are asking for his input. They’re probably just in a hurry—that’s why weddings happened on the ship so fast, everyone was trying not to think about who was gonna go next, and even then they’re putting it off for a while, but, uh—
Phil chuckles gently. “Christmas. Well, damn. The kids got engaged right under my nose.” Why does he feel like Darcy just eloped?
He clears his throat again, drinks some water to really get it down. The glass clunks as he sets it down. When he speaks, it’s warm. “First of all, yes, you have my blessing. The two of you make a good pair and I don’t see a reason to object. Second, uh…” harrumphs again, “you said you were planning this some way into the future—how far were you thinking?”
