Felix twirled his wine glass in his fingers in a brief moment of visible uncertainty, unsure exactly of what words he wanted to say.

"Very few people are quite so lucky to meet someone they know with absolute certainty is the one they are meant for, and even then it does not guarantee we will have the opportunity to be with them. Sometimes there are things that get in the way. The strictures of society, the call of a duty, or simply blind fate. If there is one thing that Paradisa affords us is the opportunity to bypass those burdens and seize your opportunity to be happy, if only for a short time..." he said, pausing as he wondered if the clock was now counting down for the two of them or if they would beat the odds. Would it make him feel more certain of where his own happiness lay if they did?

He raised his glass higher, smiling a blinding smile that he did not entirely feel as he continued, "To Vanyel and Tylendel, and your continued bliss."
