On account of he is an idiot, the woman he has married must also be an idiot. That is why Kumojacky's wedding, and this gathering that is almost jokingly called a reception, are both of them pretty small affairs. No big budget affair that, just the bride, the groom, and a handful of friends or relatives. An entirely civil signing in a government office. A single table in a seedy bar.
Those are Sasorina's opinions, however. If he ever needed it, she might possibly help Kumojacky hide a body, but there are good reasons she is not his bride. Arachnea, or actually, Mikumo seems to be a good match for him. Any bride who is willing to get drunk and then arm wrestle the groom in public right after the wedding is probably exactly what that muscle-head needs.
"Not feeling festive?" the woman to Sasorina's right asks. Her name is Kamaki Poiko, the wife of a friend of the bride.
"Just not that much of a drinker. I'm a schoolteacher, and the thought of facing a classroom with a hangover kind of kills the thrill for me."
"I can imagine. Me, I'm just a lightweight. Like, you would be surprised how little I actually weigh." She points across the table at the two newlyweds. "If I tried to match those two, I'd probably pass out and die."
"To us, the designated drivers." Sasorina lifts her own drink in a mock toast.
"No!" Poisony hisses, crossing her fingers as if to ward off the idea. "No no no no no, that is why they invented taxis!"
"To taxis, then!" Sasorina laughs, then downs the rest of her drink.
