Meeting the fiancé's otherworldly friends
The invitation was very clear about the nature of the gathering. Or as clear as the upper class get about these things. He had needed to insist upon doing them himself as her eyes had brightened and she'd smiled wide at the mention of making them. Rather than the texts that are often favoured by Nexus residents, these are paper invitations delivered by couriers post-haste. They specify the time and date that each person is invited to come and meet his new fiancé. A simple chat over tea to make introductions.
Isidor, insisting she would only be a distraction, left Viatorus to handle things with Lyall guarding the door as per usual. If Viatorus were the suspicious type he might linger on the notion that she vanished purposefully to put himself and his wife-to-be to the test, but then that wouldn't be very nice of her.
Viatorus' office apartment is... different. The main room which everyone enters into feels warmer, closer, inviting. The chairs and couch face each other a little more, tables positioned perfectly to make sure everyone can see everyone with ease. There are vases of flowers here and there, pale and demure bundles with little bursts of colour. Above each of the doors are smaller bundles of dried plants that twist and intertwine so that once pinned up they appear as decorations that makes the apartment feel more like a natural space. The air smells ever so faintly of vanilla and cinnamon, the last gift Ingirun gives to Viatorus' Nexus home.
It is only because of his company that Viatorus has chosen to wear a relatively untouched blue-grey suit and even a blue tie to match his light blue shirt. Ingirun's impeccably pinned up hair makes her retro ensemble of a loose white silk shirt and long green skirt appear as the perfect combination of smart casual. With cakes, pastries, sandwiches and mini-tarts all prepared, now all they need to do is wait for the first visitor to arrive.

She smiles encouragingly. "Well at least you have lots of holiday options. Have you been to many other worlds? I know the Nexus is an adventure all of its own, but there are many other worlds too."

He gives a slight chuckle at his own excitement before nervously rubbing at the back of his neck. He supposes that might be blase in the future but for him it was nothing short of breathtaking.
"There's just so much I've never seen before."

Steve's fairly certain Blaze could have jettisoned him out of an airlock and he would have died happy in that moment. There's plenty to be afraid of in space but Steve has never made it to the fear point of his respect for that frontier. He was too busy picking his jaw up off the floor of the Exo's ship.
"We weren't out there for very long of course, she was taking me to their home. But getting to see Earth from that view too was just....a deathbed memory."
Oh dear, Steve could talk about Space for literally ever. Finding out he missed the moon landing was one of the saddest moments ever until they assured him he could watch clips online.

The comment gets a small smile from Viatorus and stirs him from his thoughts. "I've only ever seen space in dreams. Seeing in person... I think I would be awestruck."
"Another thing for you to experience through the Nexus," Runa suggests brightly. "You should both make lists. Oh but they would get long..."

Steve is quick to jump on the chance for his friends to see what he's seen.
"Or, I mean, you could always see it through my memories right? I've seen it firsthand now, so it should be the same?" He has no idea how the magic works, so he's shooting in the dark quite a bit here. The glance he gives Ingirun is telling of his uncertainty. It would totally work right?
"Oh! I do have A List of things I must experience outside of my time or world. I try to get to them as quickly as I'm able."
