Of course, Huaisang fears what his ancestors would think. To wed a man who had murdered one of their own, even to protect him from his brother's wrath is a complicated matter. He wants this, however. A partner, a family. Being able to continue his clan's line. No one would approve of such a match for him but he wants this life, this man he's loved since he was a confused boy only just starting to learn what love and loyalty meant.
"I'll announce I'm going on a trip to the elders tomorrow. It'll give us a chance to pick up a few things for the ceremony. I know a place we can go to wed undisturbed. There's an old hunter's cabin in the woods I visit when I need to get away."
He's going through with this, he's decided, regardless of his anxiety. He's been an outlier all his life, frequently alone and feeling out of place within his own sect and family. But just as Huaisang is his lover's home, his lover is also his home now.
"The wedding robes might be a little less ornate but sketches of our parents and other things can be used. We can drape the cabin in red and make our wedding bed beautiful for us."
