"Like Lord Moon and Lady Sun", he practically beams.

"Marriage always entails some adjustments, or at least that's what older, wiser people than I seem to like saying."

"That's true, and I'm absolutely prepared to. It's just going to take some adjusting, if I have to go from my current work to a more standard courtier role. I'd like to think I'm up to the challenge, but time will tell."

"That's all any of us have going on right now. 'Time will tell.' Still, knowing what I do of Seppun Unsei-sama, I think that you'll be all right. They're one of the first friends I met here."
