[ It helps that Daisy describes it that way. He saved her life. That's how Jack views it, but he's already gathered that not everyone has processed it that way. To some, it's still a loss.
In his case, he'd rather forget that any of it ever happened. He'd rather take those false feelings and bury them six feet under. ]
[ and, really, if it was up to her it would literally just be the two of them, someone to read the words, and their roommates as witnesses. it's only jack's question that makes her consider if this is something she should be sharing with others.
not necessarily an open invitation, nothing as big and boisterous as the party she'd thrown over sinterklaas, but something intimate and small for the few people that daisy and illya had woven into their lives. the people who were still there, at least. her heart aches for prompto in that moment. he would have been so happy. ]
strange, steve rogers. carol. clarke. katelin's a good friend of mine. gaby's a good friend of both of ours.
[ she sighs. the list of people she'd like to invite but can't anymore stretches out in her mind, and something steels in her. she won't lose anyone else. she can't. ]
[ Most of the names Jack at least recognizes, but only a few of them has he had more than one or two conversations with. They're people who matter to Daisy, though. It's ultimately less than ten people, and he can appreciate only wanting the most important people there.
It's just strange to consider that he might fall into that category. ]
And you don't think any of them could officiate?
[ It might seem like he's being difficult for the sake of it, but he also just wants to be sure that Daisy makes the right choice. ]
i'm not an expert, but i feel like that's supposed to be somebody we're both close to, you know?
[ illya is not close to many people. he is a hard man to befriend, stubborn and stoic, and doesn't throw himself into other people's business the way daisy has. the fact that he has told her that jack is a friend is something special. ]
i get what you're asking, but i asked you for a reason.
[ Jack can read between the lines, which is that this isn't so much about Daisy as it is about Illya. It makes sense that he wouldn't take to others as easily. All the same, he knows they have roommates, people he must be comfortable with, but it's past the point where he can keep questioning her.
She's clearly made up her mind already. ]
All right. I can give it a shot, but you need to give me some idea of what you want me to say.
[ Not that he would know. Never been married, right? Regardless of what Zerzura wanted him to believe. And he's definitely not going to think too hard on that, to try and dredge up memories that never existed in the first place. It won't lead anywhere good. ]

[ in zerzura. against all odds, against her own stubbornness, he came for her and made sure she made it out okay. she owes him a debt for that. ]
if you don't want to do this, i still want you to be there.
[ she won't make him. but his presence is non-negotiable. ]

yes. just the two of us, and you, and a booth in a bar that's probably seen its fair share of spilled drinks.
