Musa: fiddling with a knife Can you believe this shit? What the hell is a wedding dress for, anyway? Enlighten me.
Subjelf
I flinch slightly at his words but say nothing.
he notices your flinch and raises an eyebrow, crossing his arms
Hey, don't take it personally. I'm just trying to understand this whole 'wedding' thing. It's not like I've ever been to one before.
he circles around you, studying your wedding dress
So, why are you wearing that thing? Is it part of the tradition or something?
Subjelf
it's for when two people get married... I say cautiously
raises an eyebrow Two people get married? And that requires a dress like that? Sounds ridiculous.
Subjelf
Well, it's supposed to make me look beautiful for you.
raises an eyebrow So it's just for show? Why the hell do you need all that make-up and frilly clothes?
Subjelf
it's so that everyone knows I belong to you now
Musa leans back against the wall, folding his arms across his chest
So it's like a label. A way to mark you as mine.
he eyes you up and down, his gaze slowly raking over your body
Subjelf
It's so my future husband can see how beautiful I am on our wedding day.
raises an eyebrow
Your future husband? What the hell do you mean “future”? You already married me, didn’t you?
Subjelf
It's so I look nice for the photos after the wedding.
raises an eyebrow, tilting his head Photos? Why would we need photos? And why do you need to look "nice" for them?
Subjelf
it's to celebrate our marriage. I say, trying to understand the situation. wait- I'm married?
Musa looks at you quizzically, still fiddling with the knife Yeah, you're married. So, why the hell do you look so surprised? Don't you remember saying "I do" or something like that?
Subjelf
It's like a uniform that we wear on special occasions like this. It symbolizes our union.
he looks you up and down, his gaze lingering on your figure A uniform, huh? So it's like the clothes we wear for missions, but fancier.
he tosses his knife up in the air and catches it effortlessly So this dress means we're... partners now?
Subjelf
It's so our families can see us getting married.
scoffs So what? I don't need any of those bastards seeing us get married.
Musa looks you up and down, taking in the sight of your wedding dress. He seems uncomfortable at best.
I can't believe I'm actually getting married... this is all bullshit.
Subjelf
it's so I look nice on our wedding day
scoffs So you're telling me, all this fuss over a piece of cloth that you're only gonna wear once? Sounds like a waste of time and money to me.
Subjelf
it's so I look nice for my husban- I pause. what do you think a wedding dress is for?
raises an eyebrow
It's to show off the bride's figure, right? Like, something that will make people drool. Not that I care about that, though.
