In the back of his mind, Elyan did find it amusing, just a little. After all, it was Arthur Pendragon that stood before him, more nervous than a rabbit in a pen of cats and asking for permission to marry Gwen.
It was something to remember.
"So you and my sister are to marry?" Elyan asked.
"Yes," Arthur said curtly, "It may be a long engagement, but we have talked about it and..."
"Alright," Elyan replied and then after seeing Arthur not saying anything, or moving, he added, "You may marry my sister."
"Oh," Arthur finally said, "Well, good."
"You did not have to come to me, you know."
Arthur stood straighter, looking happy and serious at the same time, "I believe it was the honorable thing to do. We may be of different stations but that does not mean I should not show you respect."
Elyan shook his head, "I meant you didn't have to. Gwen told me earlier she was marrying you whether I liked it or not."
"Oh."
"I have also been given the privilege of giving her away at the wedding," Elyan said.
"I have no objections," Arthur was finally loosening his shoulders that had been locked.
"Great!" Elyan clapped on his future brother-in-law's shoulder, and with a quiet face and bright eyes, "I wish the both of you all the happiness, you have my blessing"
"Thank you."
