For Prosper the XVIII. I had to change it up just a little. Hope you like it :)
James and Kincade sat talking into the wee small hours of the morning about life the universe and everything it seemed. Kincade hadn't seen James this happy since he was a small boy at Skyfall, before his parents had died.
"James, I am so pleased that your Emma called me" said Kincade rather sleepily
"She's amazing isn't she? And to think it's all because of you that I even met her"
"What's that you're going on about? "Asked Kincade with a questioning look
"I know about you and her "replied James quietly
"Just exactly is it you think you know?"
"I know it was you that sent me to her, after they died"
"I'm sorry James. I didn't know what else to do. You were so angry. I thought she could help you"
"No. Don't be sorry. It was the best thing you could have done for me, honestly and I don't blame you. If it hadn't been for you and her, I wouldn't be who I am today and I certainly wouldn't be marrying the most amazing woman I have ever met"
"You really love her don't you?"
"With all my heart"
"I'm happy for you son, I really am. So what about these wedding plans. What's left to do?" asked Kincade
"Well other than show up I guess I need to decide what to wear or rather what we should wear" replied James
"And just why is this a problem we put on suits and we're done"
"Well I was thinking, I am Scottish after all, and I thought we might wear traditional kilts"
Kincade just sat there for a moment pondering the idea of wearing a kilt.
"Have you talked to Emma about the kilt thing?"
"No not really why?"
"Son when's the last time you actually wore a kilt?" he asked quizzically
"I don't know, why do you ask"
"Well there are a few things you should consider"
"Such as?"
"Well they're a bit on the drafty side and if you've got knobby knees like me it's totally out of the question. I mean really. No one wants to sit and look at knobby knees for God's sake"
"Well I just thought…"
"And another thing. This room where you're to be married, it's made of glass?"
"Well yes. It's sort of raised up like a platform and encased in glass why?"
"Well then there's the other matter of what you wear under the kilt" said Kincade mischievously
"And why is that a problem?" asked James in all seriousness
"Boy you really are daft aren't you? If you intend to be completely traditional then it will be you and the kilt and nothing in-between if you catch my meaning"
"Yeah I know, I'm not an idiot, but why is this a problem, I mean it's not like I'm going to go around announcing it" replied James sounding a bit irritated
"Yeah but you will be standing on a platform in a glass cage ABOVE everyone so you might as well make a general announcement right at the beginning, something to the effect of for a good look at the knobby knees and private parts please stand on the left" he said sarcastically
"I didn't think of that" said James sounding a bit embarrassed
"Emma's right. You need to get your head out of the clouds and start thinking like the smart man I know you are"
"And just why is it you think I'm so smart?"
"You're marrying Emma aren't you?"
"Say, I have a rather important errand to run tomorrow, would you like to go along?" asked James
"If it's all the same to you, I think I'll stay here and enjoy your fair city. I don't get the chance to come to London all that often"
"Suit yourself. "
"How long will you be gone?" asked Kincade sounding a bit parental
"Hopefully just the day but I may need to stay over to tie up any lose ends"
"And just what are you up to young man?"
"It's a surprise, for M a sort of wedding gift you might say" he replied slyly
"Aren't you cutting it a bit close going away this close to the wedding?" asked Kincade with a bit of a disapproving tone
"Don't worry. I'll be back in plenty of time "replied James with a laugh
"You two and your secrets. I should think that you're both a little old for this sort of thing" said Kincade just shaking his head
"Kincade, you're never too old for surprises, and the key word here is surprise so if you happen to run into M, or Eve be sure to keep your trap shut" replied James with a grin
"Consider it done. Just don't go getting yourself into any trouble. There's nothing worse than an angry bride on her wedding day"
