Adia's slight flailing is silly and would earn a laugh if Amelia wasn't so concentrated on determining what questions to ask. The few bits of information that her friends offer give her a few good places to start, though.
"Are people always married by captains?" she asks. A beat, and she quickly adds, "Or is it anyone in a position of authority who can marry two people? I don't know much about the structure of government on Atlantis, so I may be missing a few possibilities of people who could perform this kind of ceremony." She offers a self-deprecating smile and then tries a bite of her pizza. Still a bit too warm to eat, which means the rogue can ask a few more questions while she waits.
"Is family important to have family at your side when you get married?" She directs the question at both of her friends, but her eyes linger on Caspar for a few extra seconds before she shifts her gaze comfortably between the two of them again. "It was traditional in Masarra to have as much of your family present as possible since the ceremony was most often held in the middle of a large celebration." Nothing brings a large group of people together better than a party filled with food, drink, and laughter.
She laughs softly before continuing. "I've never seen people become more comfortable with a family they've never met before than I have at the few weddings I've attended. Even my hard-headed brother managed to loosen up before promising himself to his wife at his party, despite the fact that he was saying even that very morning that he didn't want to go through with it."
