Hollow Shores[Kenichi, Sabre, Priscilla]

Normally, even Kenichi himself wouldn't have advised himself to go back to the resort after confessing his feelings to Sabre, but he figured he had already been bold enough to follow through on that, so it was only right to address the elephant in the room - his engagement with Priscilla. Avoiding it wasn't going to help, after all. Stepping through a Garganta, holding onto Sabre's hand, Kenichi texted a message to Priscilla to meet him at a quiet area on the resort. Placing the phone back in his pocket, he turned back to Sabre with a pleasant smile, admiring her expression as he gathered his thoughts. In his mind, this could either go very or well or end horribly. He prayed for the former, naturally.

"She's definitely the most upbeat girl I know on the beach. It's a little cliche, but she has the sort of energy that can light up a room."

Chortling softly at his hair being tussled, he observed his surroundings until his wandering gaze recognized the exuberant arrancar running toward him. Of course, he naturally returned the woman's embrace as she greeted him with a gentle peck to his lips, eliciting a sheepish smile accompanied by a small hint of red. As expected, her energy was as radiant as ever. Though he possessed no intention at hiding anything, any attempt to do so would have likely been crushed to dust right then and there.

He was happy to see Priscilla welcome Sabre into her embrace, any tension eased by her easygoing aura. Right. Now that she was here, he had to explain himself. His thoughts sort of played out a scenario of possible consequences for his actions. Upset expressions, frowns, the possibility of well... anything going wrong. But he was here now, and he had to be determined. Exhaling softly, he stepped between the two as he took a moment to gather himself.

"Well, she actually is much more than my friend, Priscilla. She's my girlfriend - Sabre. I recently confessed how much I loved her and well... we shared a really great kiss. And..."

He turned to Sabre, maintaining that sheepish smile as he rubbed the back of his head.

"Sabre... this is my... fiance. Priscilla. I got a little too trigger happy on the alcohol and ended up engaged. Don't ask how. I don't know myself, but well... you know... I couldn't find it in myself to turn her away and she's really fun to be around once you get to know her."

Collecting a breath of air, his gaze went between the both of them as he tried to think of the best way to convey his thoughts. In truth, he wasn't so foolish to assume he could have them both, and he was wholly prepared for dissappointed expressions in advance.

"Which is to say... I brought you both here to see how you felt about all this. I would've felt terrible hiding this from either of you, but I know how I feel... and I just wanted to be honest before moving forward!"

Well, there were two ways this ended. Exceedingly well or terrifiyingly horrific. Deep breathes, Kenny. Deep breathes.

"Eh?"

Blinking to such a degree that any observer would've thought him cartoonish, Kenichi's gaze shifted between Sabre and Priscilla as they spoke. It was only now that it dawned on him, with resounding clarity, that he had found himself in a situation that felt truly surreal. That moment in a man's life, where he recognized, with absolute distinction, that he would never be the same again. One was talking about how same-sex marriage was looked down upon shamefully. The other reminded her of how that was looked upon fondly in this modern age.

Actually, when did Sabre learn about any human customs!? What was going on here!? He could watch and observe as this train went off the rail, but that was precisely why he found himself in his current predicament, to begin with. Allowing them to speak amongst themselves seemed like a recipe for disaster. Clearing his throat, he clapped his hands together, exhaling softly to speak again.

"Sabre... my "human elders" as you call them, wouldn't excommunicate me. Those are outdated views of the past, and as Priscilla said, we have plenty of same-sex couples nowadays. On the other hand... I don't know how many... er... uh... thruples exist. Then again, if harems exist in other cultures, I guess it isn't so bad? A-anyway! I'm getting off subject!"

Kenichi regained his focus, his gaze determined. Focus.

"Moving past the fact that my human elders are very open-minded people, how do we resolve this? I love Sabre, but I don't want to hurt you, either, Priscilla. Is marrying you two the resolution you'd want out of this?"

He asked plainly, dumbfounded as though he still expected to get thrashed or thrown across the beach, ignoring the fact he could defend himself against at least one of them, but well... his mind was a whirlwind right now. A mess in the truest sense.

"Hm..."

Hazel eyes observed the women as they stated their intentions and posed their respective questions. Huh, so the ball really was in his court, huh? Sheesh... on one hand, he couldn't help but imagine that this was what the average hormonal man would dream of. Two gorgeous women to call his wives. He genuinely loved Sabre. There was no doubt about that. Regardless of what happened, he didn't want to leave this island without being able to call her his.

Turning to Priscilla, he recognized that even if she was all too happy to follow along with what he desired, that didn't mean he should take advantage of her kindness. Though he had distanced himself during what little time they shared at this resort, she had only ever tried to make him happy and bring a smile to his face. By all accounts, she was a lovely woman with the sort of energy that could light up a room. And so, he had a decision to make. In a world where he called both of them wives, he wanted to avoid one thing.

"I know I'd love to also call you my wife, Sabre. I can't deny that. In truth, I think both of you would look absolutely stunning in a wedding dress."

Ruffling his hair, he chuckled sheepishly as he paced back and forth. Settling in one spot, turning to face them both he laid out his intentions.

"As long as I can show you both that I love you equally and without bias, I don't think I have any issue with the idea. After all, it'd be foolish to turn down the prospect of sharing my days with two women who care about my well-being and happiness, right?"

Moving towards them both, he wrapped his hand around their own to observe their reaction to all of this.

"Of course, I don't want to throw you into anything that makes you feel uncomfortable, Sabre. If you have any objections, you're free to state or voice your thoughts. You, too, Priscilla. I'm only going ahead with this if I can make you both happy."
