The ceremony was about twelve times more complicated than Damen thought necessary. In Akielos, men were married by making oaths to each other and clasping hands, and perhaps by inscribing each other’s names on themselves with a matching tattoo.

Leon had many questions but he wasn’t sure how many he was going to be allowed to ask. “By ‘we’ you mean you and me and Nikandros?”
Damen’s arm was still on his shoulder. Damen pulled Leon in closer to his side and squeezed him briefly. “Yes, you, me, Nikandros, and also the King of Vere.”
